We have been trying to tell everyone. Emptiness (sunyata) means "things are impersonal." It is a mindboggling concept, not to be fathomed by mere reasoning. The Buddha was not Descartes sitting around thinking. He sat cleaning his mind through samadhi then systematically investigated the four scaffolds or foundations of what to be mindful of: those four things assumed to be self: form, feeling, perception, consciousness. He mindfully investigated this body, feelings, mind, and mind-objects.
If not who, WHAT is it that reincarnates? ♡ Excerpts from Dalai Lama and neuroscientists @ Mind and Life
Listen to H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama and some of the leading neuroscientists of 2016 as they talk about and consider what is "subtle mind" and what it is that reincarnates.
"New theories in neuroscience suggest consciousness is an intrinsic property of everything, just like gravity. That development opens a world of opportunity for collaboration between Buddhists and neuroscientists." - Sam Littlefair, associate digital editor of Lion's Roar, April 1, 2016
"The Buddha taught that sentience [feeling, consciousness, sensitivity] is everywhere at varying levels and that humans should have compassion for all sentient beings." - H.H. The Dalai Lama
"By resting his or her mind and contemplating it, a meditator can develop an understanding of the nature of mind and how it relates to everything else." - Traleg Rinpoche

“It has become almost impossible to say, ‘I don’t care about future generations,’ ‘I don’t care about poverty in the midst of plenty’ and ‘I don’t care if there are 200 million climate refugees in 2030. Altruism should not be relegated to the realm of noble Utopian thinking maintained by a few big-hearted, naïve people. On the contrary, it is a determining factor of the quality of our existence, now and to come. We must have the insight to recognize this and the audacity to proclaim it. The altruism revolution is on its way. Let us all be part of it.”

“When a rainbow appears vividly in the sky, you can see its beautiful colors, yet you could not wear as clothing or put it on as an ornament. It arises through the conjunction of various factors, but there is nothing about it that can be grasped. Likewise, thoughts that arise in the mind have no tangible existence or intrinsic solidity. There is no logical reason why thoughts, which have no substance, should have so much power over you, nor is there any reason why you should become their slave.” - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
