Mein gott, it's like talking to a Bahai.The word "soul" is descriptive in Buddhism even when the word is not used. The journey remains reincarnation and the eventual extinction of the "soul?"
"Would you be surprised to learn that reincarnation is not a Buddhist teaching?
"Reincarnation" normally is understood to be the transmigration of a soul"

I'm on a hiding to nothing here aren't I? I say Buddhism rejects the notion of a soul, but you say it doesn't; it just doesn't use the word. This could obviously be used ad infinitum. Buddhism rejects the notion of a creator deity that made the world in six days. No it doesn't, it just uses different words.
