What if We’re All Coming Back? - New York Times

We start this trio of stories with a geopolitical twist on reincarnation. In other words, we put a flame to the notion of rebirth and throw a heaping pile of ethics on the fire. Doesn't matter what you believe, the world needs more deeply rooted empathy impacting the Big Decisions. Not everyone thinks we're getting a second, third, or fiftieth chance on this little blue green planet though. No, We Won’t Reincarnate As A Swan, Streptococcus Or Angel. In fact, this piece gives the entire human race a verbal spanking for its belief in things unproven and unseen. (Probably no room in the author's life for any Nessie fans or Bigfoot hunters.) And now we circle back to discerning what really matters in a world gone mad with a report on the Middle Way. As Tibet continues to try to find its way under Chinese rule, a New report on Tibet highlights self-immolations, reincarnation of Dalai Lama. The report aims to be a source of information for those interested in the Tibetan cause, hopefully outlining the means by which two impossibly opposed belief systems might co-exist. Perhaps every politician on the planet could get a pdf emailed to them. (CM)
