The Buddhists (and others) teach the Spirit is eternal and finds a final resting when man reconciles him to his Father.

I thnk Jesus, as King and Priest of Israel, being born Prince of the House of Judah, heir to Throne of David and High Priest of the Temple, for which he was crucified, taught much the same.

Our Lord taught (and still teaches) this:

"It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the Judgment." - Hebrews 9:27

...which is not at all "much the same" as false religions teach. It makes life very convenient if you delude yourself into thinking, as the Buddhists (and others) do, that you get an unlimited number of chances to get it right, but it doesn't make dying any easier, and it doesn't make the next life very convenient at all.

Your eternity is fixed at the moment of your death.
