Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While Buddhism holds to the idea of reincarnation, it is fundamentally different from Hinduism in that Buddhists do not believe in the eternal self. Therefore, while they believe in rebirth, they do not believe in the transmigration of the soul in the way that Hinduism teaches.

Detailed explanation-2: -Buddhists recognise that there is a continuous cycle of life, death and rebirth. This cycle is known as samsara. The ultimate aim of Buddhist practice is to become free from samsara.

Detailed explanation-3: -Buddhism and Hinduism agree on karma, dharma, moksha and reincarnation. They are different in that Buddhism rejects the priests of Hinduism, the formal rituals, and the caste system.
