To understand reincarnation, we need to understand the nature of our
mind, and how our body and mind are separate entities. Understanding how our body and mind are separate entities, we
can understand how even though the body disintegrates at death, the continuum of
the mind remains unbroken. Instead of ceasing, the mind simply leaves the
present body and goes to the next life.

To understand reincarnation, we need to understand the nature of our mind, and how our body and mind are separate entities.
If we understand the nature of the mind, we can understand the existence of past and future lives. Many people believe that when the body disintegrates at death, the continuum of the mind ceases and the mind becomes non-existent, like a candle flame going out when all the wax has burned. In the Buddhist scriptures, our body is compared to a guesthouse and our mind to a guest dwelling within it. When we die, our mind leaves our body and goes to the next life, just like a guest leaving a guesthouse and going somewhere else.
Understanding how our body and mind are separate entities, we can understand how even though the body disintegrates at death, the continuum of the mind remains unbroken. Instead of ceasing, the mind simply leaves the present body and goes to the next life. ~ About Reincarnation

― Kurt Cobain
“I believe we are reincarnated. You, I, we reincarnate over and over. We live many lives, and store up much experience. Some are older souls than others and so they know more. It seems to be an intuitive "gift." It is really hard-won experience.”
― Henry Ford
“My only fear of death is reincarnation.”
― Tupac
