Tibetan adepts often declare where they will be reborn, though they are thought to have overcome their karmic ties and to be returning to the world of their own volition. These masters rarely state exactly to whom they will be reborn, but only give general guidance on where to look for them (Gamble, 2018; Mackenzie, 1996; Wangdu, Gould, & Richardson, 2000). The animist, on the other hand, states precisely where he intends to go.
