Ucchedavāda
Ucchedavāda (Pāli, Skt., ‘the doctrine of the cutting-off (of the soul and the body)’). Annihilationism (nihilism), the doctrine of no after-life in any form whatsoever, the belief that personal identity perishes with the body at death. It and its antithesis, eternalism, occur in the Buddhist Nikāyas as the two most common forms of misrepresenting reality.
