After studying religions of the world, Buddhism seems much more advanced than the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). The only thing I can’t understand is the Dalai Lama’s rebirths. For some unclear reason, it’s only men (never women), and they are born in one specific region, not all over the Earth… seems like nonsense.
Also, it’s unclear why the Buddha did not accept the immortality of the soul (with built-in memory for working off karma in the next life), but instead said the soul is like a flame passed from one candle to another. I don’t really get that – how does the memory from previous life preserve to the next one?
