Rebirth in Early Buddhism and Current Research By Bhikkhu Analayo

Rebirth in Early Buddhism and Current Research brings Bhikkhu Anālayo’s scholarship to early texts and modern debates. Four chapters consider doctrine, historical arguments, confirmation bias and reports associated with near-death experiences and past-life recollection.

A case involving childhood Pali chanting receives particular attention. The book examines evidence and interpretation rather than requiring readers to accept every reported experience as proof of rebirth.
