Can someone explain, that if not soul- what is it, which according to Buddhism participates in rebirth?
What is that quintessential sense of identity that gets reborn again?
1. Interaction of Karma and prakriti. Like waves producing secondary waves.
2. Nothing
How can "nothing" be reborn again?
Nothing is reborn in Buddhism. Buddhism doesn't believe in soul or God. Reincarnation is not a part of the philosophy at all. It's basic idea is that Karma leads to effects - good or bad according to the nature of the Karma. However, life is predominantly 'dukkha.' Thus avoid negative Karma by following the 8-fold path. On a personal level, appreciation of the noble truths leads to Nirvana. This is the personal salvation.

Basically, 'rebirth' doesn't mean a soul 'reincarnated,' rather an entity 'reborn.' This entity is not the same self but the same thing. Siddhartha Gautama lived only once but Buddhas have and keep coming and going.
I guess, you should see this as a post rather than a person.
@Usain_Bolt ..good question. You are talking about two different road leading to same destination.Now come to the point-
1. Niravana means being tasteless.You are free from any happiness, sorrow, pain etc. it is blissful state.It is a kind of state where you dont have any boundary. you can see, feel and control anything.Buddhism does not believe in soul and thats why it does not believe in Moksha. That is also why Nirvana can be attained as human only not after death because after death you dont have any existence. There might be question in mind that what about those who does not reach to niravana as there is no soul concept in buddism. It is basically memory( energy) who travels body to body untill you get nirvana..Very strange and typical concept of buddhism.
2. Buddsim does not denied moksha. Moksha means free from rebirths of soul.As soul find no existence in budhism thats why they dont talk about moksha. What Hinduism believe is that transmigration of soul. Soul is basically mini chip (energy) where all your karmic and birth information get stored birth by birth.When you reach to such a state where you are eligible for moksha , you dont require to take rebirth anymore and you get immersed into the deep ocean of supreme being.The story of soul is like a drop of water. Initially it is separated from ocean by cloud ,after rain it travels whole the earth in different different areas, different circumstances till it reaches to ocean and get immersed into it. When it get into ocean. it looses its existence as drop of water and become the whole ocean.this is concept of soul as per Hinduism. Really fascinating . Is not it?
If you need any further assistance, please drop more questions here related to this topic only.
Yes, I guess it's the consciousness that ought to be regrouping itself birth after birth. Pretty much like the flame from one wick to another. Good analogy.
