When I inquired if they were allowed to know what they did wrong so that it could be corrected in this life, the answer was 'no'. Basically , you just have to try to do everything right this time around. Hmmmm...that seems fair.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm sure you will find it interesting that to be born a man is the highest honor according to the Tibetans. It means that YOU did everything right in the life before. You can rest well knowing this, Fred. :)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04748463431030534765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905807.post-8604514048264825802007-12-13T16:44:00.000-08:002007-12-13T16:44:00.000-08:00Well Donna, you picked out the marrow in this.
