"If the Buddha said ..."

Just a moderator note: rather than getting multiple threads going on about how the Buddha did not teach rebirth or some variation of the the "If the Buddha said ..." has been merged with the "great rebirth debate."

What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us

-- Dharmakirti

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.
SN I, 38.

Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.
