Oh Boy previous incarnations and spirits and souls!!!!!!!!
[past lives]
AN III.15: Rathakara (Pacetana) Sutta - The Chariot Maker
The Buddha recalls a previous lifetime during which he was a
chariot-maker:

[spirits]
"A householder who observes conduct in accordance with the Dhamma
....might reappear in the company of the gods of the Four Kings!'
it is possible that on the dissolution of the body, after death, he may
do so."
- Buddha Saleyyaka Sutta
[souls?]
"Is there a self?" or "Is there not a self?"
these questions being outside ones domain
and leading the contemplative to vexation [ie, Puma, with compassion]
rather than release from suffering
(Ananda Sutta, SN, 5:44, 10).
Puma: (With Compassion)
What a Zen master was this guy
that he did not know simple things about
Buddhism yet.
To be attached to a certain view
and to look down upon others' views as inferior,
this the wise men call a fetter.
- Buddha
Puma: (With Compassion)
You can not be a Buddhist Monk either as to believe such bullies...
In a controversy the instant we feel anger
we have already ceased striving for the truth,
and have begun striving for ourselves.
- Buddha
Puma:
"With compassion"
In most cases, energy is lost in little games of manipulation, in
little struggles of will, in the attempts to possess others, to wrap
them up, to delude them, to shine them on.
- Zen Master Rama
