Some religions teach we only have one lifetime to get it right with eternal heaven or everlasting hell waiting for us at the end. Traditional Buddhists believe in reincarnation which means we have more than one lifetime to get it right. Indeed, the Jataka Tales are a collection of stories about the Buddha’s previous incarnations and include many circumstances where he made mistakes and got things wrong. This Sunday we will ask ourselves the question, “Can we learn from the Buddha’s mistakes?”
