ေဒါက္တာ ဂရန္ဗီလာ ဓမၼ၀ါရေဒန က သိပၸံပညာဟာ အမွန္တရားနဲ႔ နီးသည္ထက္နီးလာေအာင္ အဆင့္ျမင့္လာျပီ လုိ႔ဆုိတယ္။ ျပီးေတာ့ သိပၸံပညာဟာ ဗုဒၶရဲ႔ တရားေတာ္ေတြနား နီးသည္ထက္ နီးလာေအာင္ ေခၚလာတယ္လုိ႔ ဆုိတယ္။
ေနာက္ဆုံးအေနနဲ႔ ကၽြန္ေတာ္ေျပာခ်င္တာက ကၽြန္ေတာ္ဟာ ဒီအမွာကုိ ေရးသားဖုိ႔ သီရိလကာၤႏုိင္ငံသား သိပၸံပညာရွင္ျဖစ္သူ ေဒါက္တာဓမၼ၀ါရေဒနရဲ႔ ခ်ီးေျမွာက္ျခင္း ကုိခံရပါတယ္။ ကမာၻတလႊားက ထင္ရွားတဲ့ သိပၸံပညာရွင္မ်ားက သုေတသန ျပဳေနတဲ့ၾကားက ေဒါက္တာဓမၼ၀ါရေဒနဟာ လြန္ခဲ့တဲ့ႏွစ္ေပါင္း ၂၅၄၀က ရွိလာတဲ့ လူ၀င္စားျခင္းအယူအဆကုိ သက္ေသျပႏုိင္ျပီး သူ႔ရဲ႔ ဥာဏ္ပညာအတြက္ ဂုဏ္ျပဳခံရပါျပီ။
ေဘးဒုကၡေတြမရွိပဲ ညီညြတ္စြာေနႏုိင္မဲ့ ကမာၻတစ္ခုကို ဗုဒၶတရားေတာ္မ်ား က်င့္သုံးျခင္းျဖင့္ တည္ေဆာက္ၾကရေအာင္

ကဲ ကိုယ့္ဆရာေရ အပိုင္း ၂ ကိုေစာင့္ေမွ်ာ္ေနတယ္ဗ်ိဳ႕
လူဝင္စားတယ္ဆုိတာ ကိုလက္ခံတယ္ဆုိေတာ့ ထူးၿခားတယ္ဗ်။
(I am posting my comment part by part because if too long, it won't appear)
Sorry. I have to say that this is plain wrong. First, make it clear that I was once a devout Buddhist. I wanted to be a monk when I grew up. I read all Ashin Sanda Dika books. But, I rejected Buddhism when I was 15 and become an existentialist since then. And I will change that belief if the evidence shows otherwise or if I've found a better philosophy.
Now, let's start with Steveson's research. First, we need to take note that Steveson himself, never claimed that he had proved the existence of reincarnation. He described his cases as "suggestive reincarnation". Out of 2000 cases he researched in forty years, he found only twenty cases are reliable enough. He published these twenty cases in a book called "Twenty cases suggestive of reincarnation".
Even in that twenty cases, they are some flaws listed below.
1) Adjournment. By the time Steveson interview ed the witnesses, about ten to twenty years had passed since the first incidence of the reincarnee telling about his past life had taken place. That creates error of distortion. People are, more likely to remember the facts that surprised them or the facts that are in accordance with their beliefs.
2) The locals he had interviewed are devoted to reincarnation. That is a problem. Because, they might downplay differences and present only matches.
3) There are six billion people in the world. That fact gives more rooms for coincidence.
Note that mainstream scientists do not accept Steveson's results. They label the results as pseudoscience. Steveson himself stated "I've failed my attempt to persuade mainstream science community to seriously consider reincarnation"
Now, I go to child prodigy case. Science has better explanations than saying that these children are reincarnated. Positron Emission Tomography(PET) scan reveals that these prodigies think in terms of long-term working memory which can hold information for hours. As well, their short term memory is much better than an average human. They can learn much quicker as a result.
You quoted Einstein's support for Buddhism. He is just following his principle of "no offence". He is not a Buddhist. Issac Newton, arguably more famous than Einstein, on the other hand, was a devout Christian. He wrote more books about theology than that of science. But that doesn't mean we have to follow him. What we should follow is "reason" as humans are rationale beings.
In your conclusion, you said "No scientific proof is there to disprove reincarnation". I want to introduce "falsifiability" here. Reincarnation is a claim that is not falsifiable. It's like saying "God created the universe". How can you scientifically disprove that god created the universe? No way. But that doesn't mean you have to accept that.
My comment might not persuade you, depend on how deeply you hold your beliefs. I hope you are not a blind religionist.
