in the light of this common grief & hope in respect to the departed, even amongst Buddhists, does the Assu Sutta aim to reinforce reincarnation/rebirth beliefs? Or does it aim to quench the common suffering of grief? I think it could be quite frightening to read - so maybe its pointing towards letting go and practising rather than reinforcing beliefs.
