Hello Kaarline and Aloka,

How Tibetan Buddhists believe in it while it contradicts with other concepts of Buddhism?

It happens. I can not tell too much about Tibetan Buddhism but their culture seems to have blend with the teachings of Buddha along the centuries.

So far, i find everything in Buddhism agrees with logic and common sense except the idea of rebirth. As you know, doubt is considered to be a negative thing in Buddhism, so if rebirth does not make sense to me, does that mean i cant be a Buddhist? No way Bundokji. Many practitioners of the teachings of Buddha do not consider rebirth in their practice. It does not make any sense to me, too.

Please read what the following link says about doubt. Some people have understood that the Buddha told about doubting at everything he taught. I don't think that was the case. What Buddha asked was to verify his teachings through understanding, practice and the evaluation of such practice that should lead to the cessation of suffering as a result of living the Natural Law.

Cheers Thanks for the link...

While doubt is an obstacle you do not need to believe just because in things like rebirht so to practice what Buddha taught. The author is Sogyal Rimpoche and he thightly holds someting that seems Buddha did not teach.
