I don't care what the Buddha said. I know there is some metaphysical bullshit in Buddhism and I want to know about it.

Which branch of Buddhism?

The pure-strain stuff is still widely practiced in India and elsewhere, but derivatinve and syncretic forms abound.

I can't offer you any specific information but I know that you should be more specific to the branch you wish to study.
