user5000: What is right view regarding rebirth according to the Buddha? Is it:

a) Rebirth stops after breakup of physical body for all even if
craving is not eradicated 
b) Rebirth continues eternally after
breakup of physical body for all even if craving is eradicated 
c)
Rebirth stops after breakup of physical body if craving is eradicated. Rebirth continues after
breakup of physical body if craving is not eradicated.
d) Other? 

If possible, please provide sutta references.

user111: 
a) False
b) False
c) The cause of rebirth is eliminated while one lives when one attains Arahanthship. Hence rebirth does not occur after break up of the body.
d) For those who haven't eliminated craving, rebirth occurs only at the break up of the body. Keep in mind that the usage of the word 'rebirth' in Buddhism does not imply a soul.
e) Buddhists usually do not get confused even if you use the word 'death' instead of "break up of the body".

"Now from the remainderless fading & cessation of that:

very ignorance (past-defilement/past-cause) comes the cessation of fabrications (past-kamma-becoming/past-cause).
From the cessation of fabrications comes the cessation of consciousness (present-birth/present appearance of consciousness-aggregate/present suffering/present-effect). [mano pubbaṅgamā dhammā]
From the cessation of consciousness comes the cessation of
name-&-form (present-birth/present appearance of form-aggregate & feeling-aggregate & perception-aggregate & fabrication-aggregate/present-suffering/present-effect).
From the cessation of name-&-form comes the cessation of the six
sense media (present-suffering/present-effect).
From the cessation of the six sense media comes the cessation of
contact (present-suffering/present-effect).
From the cessation of contact comes the cessation of feeling (present-suffering/present-effect).
From the cessation of feeling comes the cessation of craving (present-defilement/present-cause).
From the cessation of craving comes the cessation of
clinging/sustenance (present-defilement/present-cause).
From the cessation of clinging/sustenance comes the cessation of
becoming (present-kamma-becoming/present-fabrications/present-cause).
From the cessation of becoming comes the cessation of birth (future-birth/future-upatti-becoming/future-effect).
From the cessation of birth, then aging & death, sorrow,
 lamentation, pain, distress, & despair all cease (future-effect).

Such is the cessation of this entire mass of stress & suffering."
