Ways to know your past lives

When I was involved in spiritual healing some time ago, I had my past lives read. My friend, the leader of the group played a cd with mantra and all of us meditated. She and her friends could see my past lives. I was, according to her visualisation in meditation, a monk in my immediate past life. Earlier I was a doctor and some other beings. That may explain why I like to read medical articles and I grow to like Buddhism.

Today through the dharma talks that I listened to, I come to know that we can see our past lives by ringing the bell with inscription of mantra inside it and chanting Sutra of Earth Store Bodhisattva.

Knowing one's past lives just confirms Buddhists' belief that there are past lives for each of us.
