My dear friends,

There is a simple question here,''is rebirth an attachment or not?''To me, to believe rebirth of a person after he/she has has passed away clearly is an attachment. Because such a unnatural phenomenon is not possible. However if rebirth is not used in this sense, and if it is not a personal one, then I have a right to ask what is it then?
With love,

Hello

Rebirth in Buddhisme is not "a personal one", there is no person,self or soul which are reborn again.
Reincarnation is a tranfer of soul from one life to the next, and Buddhism does not recognize any soul.
In any living being is a lifecontinium which works together with the 5 aggregates, and when the 5 aggregates break up (the body dies) the life continium find 5 new aggregates as its host, and this will continue until the final release from samsara.
What is called individual existence is in reality nothing but a mere process of mental and physical phenomena.
