Tibetan Buddhism... is something which requires instruction from Tibetan understanding and only TB practitioners, rather than all Buddhists need to concern themselves with this, unless they want to gain understanding. I find many things confusing yet do not allow myself to become unsettled by my lack of understanding - I either find out or let it be.

Well, two things. 1. You responded to a post I made to someone else (Rhysman) and you introduced the Dalai Lama's reincarnation as a response to my post.

2. But after you introduced the reincarnation of the DL and made a claim about it (presumably thereby opening the topic up for discussion), I was hoping exactly to 'find out' but if you don't want to expand, that's obviously your decision and, since I don't think I'll start with Tibetan Buddhism any time soon, I guess I'll just have to be content with the Dalai Lama's reincarnation being forever a mystery beyond explanation.

But - if you read this Rhysman - my original question about the wood-chair-ash still stands; I'd just like to get a better understanding of what people think.

By the way, the 'exciting' comment was in reference to the stating of a tautology, not to the contents of that tautology.
