I may be wrong, I believe they believe they get reborn Answer: Buddhists believe that a person who has not achieved enlightenment will be reborn. Enlightened people will be offered the opportunity to enter Nirvana. They may, of course, forego this and opt for rebirth to return to Earth to help others acheieve enlightenment.
