Do all Buddhists believe in the concept of reincarnation?

Hi Aasha,

No, I don't think so, and in any case from the Buddhist perspective it's not really something to be desired. It's one way of iillustrating the drawbacks of samsara.

The important point, for me, is dukkha -- whether in one life or many.
