Tell us something about Tien Tai.
Yes, the body-mind is a bunch of 'components'. But the mind does NOT
trans-migrate or reincarnate.
It's your astral body which is a bundle of Vibrations and Latent
tendencies which re-incarnate and which is what you call your soul.
The Notion of 'Past lives' is something that is based upon the various
bodies you choose to manifest yourself. Past lives is from the material,
biological angle.
From the Astral, Vibratory Plane, past-lives are aggregates of the
relative self continually changing. Both are correct.
So, I don't see much of a difference between the Hindu and Buddhist
World-View regarding this aspect.

---Comment below: ...that Hinduism is the only religion that reflects
Nature to it's fullest possible extent. Actually, Buddhism is more
consistent with the most up-to-date hypotheses concerning Cosmology -
i.e. the origins of the universe itself; along with speculations on
the major unanswered questions.
Briefly, the universe appears to be holographic; and Buddhism had
the rudiments of holography in the works of Tien Tai. Thus, Buddhist
cosmology was about 1500 years ahead of modern hypotheses.
In regard to the nature of the relative self; I regard Buddhism as
being superior to Hinduism on the basis of my observations on the
body/mind; namely, the body/mind is a bunch "components" rather than
a reincarnating "Soul". Thus, from one incarnation to the next, the
relative self is continually changing and it would not be correct to
say that "one" had past lives. (the past lives were simply aggregates
of components, some of which carry over into the present.) The part
of the mind/brain which records the latent memories is (in itself)
just another component.
In regard to ethics, Buddhism attempts to explain this by intially,
fusing the concept with the Laws of Karma and Dharma.
