My real authority is uh...my boyfriend's buddhist family. There are many types of buddhism...the buddhism you are most familiar with believes in reincarnation because they believe that one must go through many lifetimes to achieve enlightenment.
Soka Gakkai is Nichoren buddhism-the belief that personal enlightenment is possible for each person in this lifetime. Ergo-you can believe in enlightenment and still think that after death you're off to a much better place.

Salvation is not enlightenment. FWIW.
And I knew by saying that it was a can of worms.
