    I assume you don’t believe in Buddhism, but if you do it makes sense. The Dalai Lama is the reincarnation of an enlightened being. Its like if jesus would have come back all the time instead of just once for a few days. (It’s not exactly like that and I’m not Buddhist)

      If you actually read the words of the Buddha on reincarnation he was quite explicitly clear that he never endorsed the idea.

        That’s really interesting. But ok I don’t want to insult anyone, but wasn’t Siddhartha Gautama only one of many many enlightened ones? And do you know if he didn’t endorse the entire bhavacakra or just the Bodhisattva?
