"This life and life after this is one"
Is this in line with Theravada teaching?

Re: "This life and life after this is one"
Greetings Sarath,
You see certain translators use a similar phrase when translating the suttas, but I believe there's a bit of interpolation going on when they do.
Does anyone happen to know of the Pali used in such circumstances, and/or dare to translate it as literally as possible for us?
Thanks.
Metta,
Paul.

Some food for thought.
Will my life tomorrow be the same as today?
If I am an Arahant will your answer be different?
