Hello Bothi,

I have always thought that rebirth (as reincarnation) are an attachment. The kind of rebirth that Buddha taught is about the Birth of the sense of a self many times by the untamed mind:

'Was I in the past? Was I not in the past? What was I in the past? How was I in the past? Having been what, what was I in the past? Shall I be in the future? Shall I not be in the future? What shall I be in the future? How shall I be in the future? Having been what, what shall I be in the future?'

Or else he is inwardly perplexed about the immediate present: 'Am I? Am I not? What am I? How am I? Where has this being come from? Where is it bound?'

"Sabbasava Sutta" Even this, there are some Buddhists that believe in rebirth but personally non of them have given a clear explanation of it, ending always in weak speculations, strange stories and highly metaphysical mind adventures... all because of craving, wandering of mind, wilderness of views... clinging to the aggregates.
