Reincarnation and soul trajectory

What it is: The movement teaches continuity of spiritual life and in many contexts admits language of reincarnation and multiple existences.

How the tradition understands it: The soul or essential being goes through experiences and reaps karmic consequences in a broader cosmic framework.

Textual basis and context: The theme dialogues with Buddhist heritages and Chinese cosmologies, but appears in the movement's own formulation.

Debates and variations: In simplified public presentations, this point may receive less emphasis than in broader doctrinal teachings.
