Hi JoeBlow,

I identify with the atheist label and have a problem with literal rebirth or reincarnation. There are actually examples of Gautama Buddha arguing against the transmigration of a consciousness or a soul. Such as this one.

You also don't need to accept every part of Buddhism as true to commit to the practice.

So when people say that The Buddha remembered past lives when he was "still under the illusion of self", is that false?
