Again, to follow up on last post, how does this "progressive
learning process" arise? Does it happen automatically?
Are many births automatically "directed at acquiring wisdom"?
Or is it only for those souls that are so motivated to become
wise that reincarnation becomes a process of progressive
learning? In Mahayana Buddhism, reincarnation becomes
a learning process only for those who have taken on the
commitments and vows of a Bodhisattva. For everyone
else, it is an out of control process, driven by karma, that
resembles a plane spinning to earth in a crash.
