"how do I": C-h a (`apropos-command')
"insert": C-h a insert (then search for "buffer")
"buffer": C-h a buffer (then search for "insert")
Command found: `insert-buffer'
Will it help? `C-h f insert-buffer':
"Insert after point the contents of BUFFER." - sounds promising...
Result: M-x insert-buffer *scratch*
Really, it's not so hard to find things out yourself, with Emacs. It doesn't
get any easier than this.
Your friends are `apropos-command', `apropos' (... try `M-x apropos
