I prefer the Buddha's silence concerning the issue of what happens to  
the arhant after death, or the parable of the poisoned  arrow.
Personally, I'm more a Taoist on the issue. Personal ego stops, but  
rejoins the ever-flowing Tao. No individual life after death.

I like Thich Nhat Hanh's explanation. We are like figures of clay.  After 
death the clay is squeezed flat  and a new figure  made.
