Past Lives
In Buddhism if there is no surviving soul then how do you recollect Your Past lives and karmas ?
How can there be any type of learning continuity if the soul does not survive yet You Can, in theory, recollect past lives ? I mean what entity , if not the soul, is doing the recollecting and sorting out the karmas ?
That is not as easy to understand as you may expect.
The idea of no soul in Buddhism is a rejection of the atman (usually translated as soul) as was posed in Hinduism in the days of the Buddha. The atman in Hinduism is/was generally seen as a permanent thing, it does not change. What the Buddha taught is that such an unchanging, permanent soul does not exist.
What does exist in Buddhism is often called a mind-stream; this is a continuation of awareness. Just like a river which is always moving, the mind is a continuously changing awareness, and a very subtle part of our awareness is said to continue after death into a next life. This mind-stream also carries the karma-seeds that we have collected, and this mind-stream will experience the results of that karma.
This process of experiencing karma can only be stopped when we reach Nirvana or the full enlightenement of a Buddha. But even then, the ever-changing mind-stream continues.
