Hathanhliem asked:

Please send to me the sources of Reincarnation in Hinduism and Buddhism.

============

Refer to the section on "Coming of age in the universe", in the chapter on Hinduism, in the book The
World's Religions
by Dr. Huston Smith, ISBN 0-06-250799-0. Dr. Smith explains the concept very
adeptly.

If you want specific references to the same concept in the Hindu scriptures, the book by Barbara
Powell, Windows into the Infinite, a guide to the Hindu Scripturesis useful (ISBN 0-87573-071-X). Dr.
Powell gives a translation of the source material and cites the original sources. Her book is also
useful to understand the types of books in the tradition.
