Buddhism incorporates the idea of reincarnation - being part of a cycle of death and rebirth for untold countless cycles. Unlike brownian motion in particles which always passes back through the same point after enough repetitions, the cycle of death and rebirth is driven towards enlightenment by the desire to avoid suffering. Part of this process is the eventual incorporation of the Middle Way into your life and the acceptance of the Eightfold Path as a guide. For some folks this is a short journey, for others almost endless.So the answer to the question - the Buddha trusted that people's innate Buddha nature would eventually nudge them towards the Middle Way, enlightenment and Nirvana.
