According to the Tibetan text Masked Drama of Rebirth in the Peaceful and Wrathful deities, Srijata reincarnates to a higher plane due to having more good pebbles than bad pebbles in his favor. Going by this logic, you could kill millions of people and if you solved world hunger or ended a war you would reincarnate to a higher plane. How do the Buddhists here argue against this logic?

>As far as the concept of emptinessor the ultimate nature of reality is concerned this is one area where there is an emerging convergence between the Buddhist understanding of the ultimate nature of existence and the evolving contemporary scientific view. This convergence relates to the unfindability of entities when these are analytically sought. In modern science the methods of analysis are principally applied to investigating the nature of material entities.
>Thus, the ultimate nature of matter is sought through a reductive process is reduced to the microscopic world of particles.
>Yet, when the nature of these particles is further examined, we find that ultimatepy their very existence as objects is called into question.
>This interface between non-substantiality and phenomena is a fundemental focus of Buddhist philosophical analysis and experimental analysis through meditation on the nature of mind.
