| Blurb: | It is difficult to know how the idea of rebirth emerged in Indian thought. The first allusions to it are found in the Rig Veda. The Buddha only formulated more precisely the known doctrine, rejected its old mythical and ritualistic connotations, and set it on firm rational and ethical foundations. |
