Sinnett''''' was compiled by [[George Linton]] of Portland, Oregon, and [[Virginia Hanson]], who was a staff member of the [[Theosophical Society in America]]. \n\nThis volume is highly useful in the study of [[The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (book)|''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett'']]. It provides background and context, and a description of the physical appearance of each letter. The arrangement corresponds to the numbering scheme that was devised by [[A. Trevor Barker]].\n[[File:Readers Guide - AT 78.4 JulyAugust 1990.jpg|180px|left|thumb|Book review in ''The American Theosophist'' July/August 1990.]]\n\n== Editions ==\n\nThe ''Readers Guide'' was first published by the Theosophical Publishing House in January 1972, containing 308 pages.\n\nA revised and enlarged second edition of 430 pages was published in 1988 with some changes in the chronological arrangement of the letters. This edition served as a basis for the [[The_Mahatma_Letters_to_A._P._Sinnett_(book)#Editions|fourth edition]] of [[The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (book)|''The Mahatma Letters to A. P.

This consciousness is neither identical nor entirely different from that in the previous rebirth, but the two form a causal continuum or stream. Some English-speaking Buddhists prefer the term \"rebirth\" or \"re-becoming\" ([[Sanskrit]]: ''punarbhava''; [[Pali]]: ''punabbhava'') to \"[[reincarnation]]\" as they take the latter to imply a fixed entity that is reborn.<ref>\"Reincarnation in Buddhism: What the Buddha Didn't Teach\" By Barbara O'Brien, About.com<sup>[http://buddhism.about.com/od/karmaandrebirth/a/reincarnation.htm</sup>]</ref>\n\n== Notes ==\n\n<references/>\n\n\n\n[[Category:Buddhist concepts]]"
