reincarnation

Rebirth is a very important part of both Hinduism and Buddhism. Reincarnation is the rebirth of a soul, usually in a different form. In other words, you would be born again. Depending on one's karma, one would be reincarnated into a lower or higher calss in the caste sytem. If Moksha or enlightenment is achived, one is not reincarnated again.
