Hi

Imagine when the Western scholars first came upon Buddhism, in places like Sri Lanka, where the common folks & monks all believed in rebirth. Naturally, they would have thought the essence of Buddhism was rebirth.

So far, I have found the following Pali words, which are translated as or implied to be rebirth:

Abhinibbatti

Punabbhava

Upapannā

Opapātikā

Upapajjati

Upatti

Sopapajjati

Any more?
