The difference between death and birth is only a thought-moment: the last thought-moment in this conditions the first though-moment in the so-called next life, which, in fact, is the continuity of the same series. During this life itself, too, one thought-moment conditions the next thought-moment. So, from the Buddhist point of view, the question of life after death is not great mystery, and a Buddhist is never worried about this problem.
