I certainly have not discarded the desire for rebirth.
I love reincarnations and the fact we have eternity to become enlightened. And to see each other and live adventures together.
I once thought I would be reborn a dalai lama. Whatever: it is just wild stories.
I enjoyed this supersition because I was envisioning a female dalai lama next in tibet. And was thrilled to be a female dalai lama....but truly, we are far from allowing a female dalai lama in tibet I suspect.
