Hello everyone. For a good many years I have been mildly involved in Theosophy.
One of the views posited by this group is the existence of family reincarnation whereby many generations of a family grouping is seen to work out "karmic problems" within the family.
As I have heaps of problems with reincarnation per se, this additional idea confused me even more.
Theosophy claims to have adopted many Hindu and Buddhist teachings (via Madam Blavatsky).
Another confused teaching to me is the view that all monads are given the option to choose a future existence and are given a review of their past errors (how far back?)
Do these notions align with any serious Buddhist teachings? Thank you.
