Dear Yong Peng,
The eternity belief (saasata di.t.thi), also concerns this life, I think,
not just future becoming. Atthi: it exists. Is it belief in a soul in this
life which continues after death. But there are many variations in this
belief, see Co to Brahmajaalasutta. It is not easy to find a good
translation.
Thank you for your good wishes, and also all good wishes and success to you,
Nina
