In Buddhim, (depending on which form you are speaking for there are so many, all with varrying beleif systems) there is no idea of an afterlife, there is no place where the body or soul goes intact, though there is reincarnation it is usually working upward to bring one closer to Nirvana.

In Buddisim they tend to view death like the extinqushing of a candle flame. Where one is no longer distinguabshable, ther is no body or soul only a oneness a return to the all.

It is the ultimate bliss in Buddism to be free from the world, from differencne from the body and all suffering, to obtain an equal love for all things.

Budda wrote this, and I would really get some views on it.


"...There is rebirth of character, but no
transmigration of a self. Thy thought-forms reappear, but there is
no ego-entity transferred. The stanza uttered by a teacher is reborn
in the scholar who repeats the words.

Only through ignorance and delusion do men indulge in the dream that
their souls are separate and self-existent entities. Thy heart, O
Brahman, is cleaving still to self; thou art anxious about heaven
but thou seekest the pleasures of self in heaven, and thus thou
canst not see the bliss of truth and the immortality of truth."
Buddha
