The reincarnation of the Dalia Lama is a strong evidence of reincarnation in reality. When a Dalai Lama dies, it is believed that he will be reincarnated in another child. The chosen child must go through a series of test to determined if he is the reincarnated one. It answers in the test are only known by the former Dalai Lama. There must be no hesitation or pausing in giving the answer such is the remarkable evidence of reincarnation at work.

Re: Interesting perspective
I'm impressed by your determination for accuracy, and I agree it's important to know about other religions. I can't say I know much, not even about my own religion, but I do know plenty about living the daily Muslim life, well at least mine. I would be willing to help you as much as I can with your novel and if there is information you need that I don't know I can always talk to others who do know it. I'm here when you need me! good luck.

Hmmm
I kind of think that reincarnation makes sense, but it wouldn't be someone else's soul you have but your own.

Interesting perspective
I am writing a full length novel, my second book based on non-fictional Muslim girl in Iraq. To take this on I owed it to the Muslim faith and the Iraqi people to depict a fair and respectful view of their daily life. I still maintained the honesty of the struggles as well. I have learned so many great things. I am actually looking for someone who is Muslim to help qualify some of the areas I have trouble researching. In any case, I think it is important to understand other religions. I never knew Christianity had scriptures about stoning their children until recently. I am of course Atheist but if I am going to write about it, I need to know it.

I've heard of such stories before. In Buddhism, it is called 'Reincarnation' or 'Rebirth'
