If there is no self, how reincarnation exist?

If there is no self, how reincarnation exist?Buddhism teaches there is no part which we can treat as self or soul, among material or non-material parts of a living being. All of material and non-material (Citta and Cetasika) parts are existing as generations and we conventionally treat as a living being. When we think scientifically a living being is a huge collection of various kinds of atoms. Similarly Buddhism teaches there is an ultimate entity of matter (may be fundamental particle in science) which is very much smaller than an atom called as Rupa-kalapa. Similarly there are ultimate entities for non-material parts(related to the mind); lets simply call it as Citta. Citta is not like material entities, it can only exist one at a time. When one dies another one arise instantly without any delay. Life time of a Chitta is very small (Smaller than trillions part of a second). So, non-material part is like a huge Citta stream but one arises after one. When our last Citta vanish from the body next Citta arise at a new place as a new being without any delay since a Karma. But nothing goes from past life to new life. But we can't treat new life as a different being. Since new life arise since the past life. For an example, think about your image from a mirror. Image arises since you and we treat image as yours but it is a different thing. Similarly you should think about the new being after death. New birth is not the same being but also not a different being.Reference ——————————————————————-‘Nirvana Vinishchaya’ by Ven.
