Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reincarnation is a key belief within Hinduism. In Hinduism, all life goes through birth, life, death, and rebirth and this is known as the cycle of samsara . According to this belief, all living things have an atman, which is a piece of Brahman, or a spirit or soul.

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: -Samsara is the continuous cycle of birth, death and rebirth. In order to escape this cycle one must realize everything is one, everything is Brahman.
