Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both share belief in karma and rebirth (or reincarnation), they both accept the idea of spiritual liberation (moksha, nirvana) from the cycle of reincarnation and they both promote similar religious practices (such as dhyana, samadhi, mantra, and devotion).

Detailed explanation-2: -Rebirth in Buddhism refers to the teaching that the actions of a sentient being lead to a new existence after death, in an endless cycle called saṃsāra. This cycle is considered to be dukkha, unsatisfactory and painful. The cycle stops only if moksha (liberation) is achieved by insight and the extinguishing of craving.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains all believe in reincarnation and in the goodness of escaping the cycle of rebirth. All Jains, including monks, nuns, and laypeople, wear face masks to avoid inhaling insects. Jains believe that violence does not bring bad karma if one did not intend to do harm.
