Reincarnation
Definition
The belief that the soul or consciousness is reborn into new bodies after death.
Detailed Explanation
Reincarnation is a fundamental concept in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and various other spiritual traditions. It suggests that life is a continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara). The circumstances of each rebirth are influenced by karma from previous lives. The ultimate goal is to break free from this cycle and achieve liberation (moksha or nirvana).
