  Pudgalavada Buddhist Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The group consists of the Vatsiputriya, the original Pudgalavadin School, and four others that derived from it, the Dharmottariya, the Bhadrayaniya, the Sammitiya and the Shannagarika.
Since the date of the Buddha’s death was probably in about 486 BCE or 368 BCE (according to which sources one follows), the rise of the Vatsiputriya school would have been in the early third century or toward the middle of the second century BCE.
The Vatsiputriya and a branch of the Sammitiya survived in India at least until the tenth century, but since the Pudgalavadin schools never spread to any great extent beyond the subcontinent, when Buddhism died out in India, the tradition of the Pudgalavada came to an end.

The absence of self-existence referred to here is the general notion of anatman, no-self that is common to all the schools of Buddhism.
Of course there are one or two exceptional cases where such as the Vatsiputriya school or the Personalist schools which posit some notion of a real existence of self.
On the whole, philosophically speaking, all Buddhist schools reject any notion of an atman or soul principle.

 Rebirth and Personal Identity
Most Buddhist views about personal identity can be summarised by the Pali term anatta, which literally means 'no soul' (Sanskrit an-atman).
There used to be a minor Buddhist current that did accept some type of personal survival after death (known as Vatsiputriya or Pudgalavada), but nowadays most Buddhists consider this school as little more than an outdated early sect.
The Buddhist teaching of anatta has to a considerable extent influenced contemporary Western spiritual theory.
