Edgar,<br/><br/>I wouldn't even go that far regarding reincarnation. Lets not 
forget that rebirth was axiomatic in Buddha's time and wasn't even a belief. 
Buddha just taught that a cause will always have an effect and this doesn't 
stop at the death of the body - previous causes will eventually play out, but 
not as 'you'. Personally, I neither know nor care - this life is all I can 
experience. But it is interesting to note that actions and thoughts are energy 
and the sum total of energy in this universe can never be extinguished.
