Buddhism In Animals
I'm just curious about the origin of Buddhism's "doctrine" that reincarnation exists. Does the reason Buddha believe that animals are reincarnates because just like the human, the animal reaches it's state or (who it is) through conditioning (ie grows attachments to certain things, can be what we call "good" or "bad")? Does this also mean that since Humans have the ability to recognize this that we are the end of the means to reach Nirvana, which also means that any Human can reach nirvana when they understand the concept of no-self? This just flew in my head after i had read a couple hours ago, i could use some insight and clarification.
