The Orient has a wealth of mythological riches. In Occidental mythologies, the individual personality is a permanent entity, surviving as a distinct and definable self even in the afterworld. In Oriental mythologies, there is single enduring personality, but rather a a reincarnating entity who goes through a series of bodies, putting them on and taking them off as if they were clothes.
This aspect has led to a wealth of myths, legends and folklore. Let have some wonderfully varied threads.
