Reincarnation, also termed
rebirth or transmigration, is
the belief that a non-physical
aspect of a living being, such
as a soul or essence, is reborn
in a new physical form after
death.
It
is a complex idea that explores
the continuation of life beyond
bodily death and raises
questions about the nature of
consciousness and identity.

The term "Reincarnation"
literally means "to take on the
flesh again." The idea attempts
to solve the mystery of human
existence and what happens when
we die.

not human beings on a spiritual
journey. We are spiritual beings on
a human journey. |

Example:
Buddha's Reincarnations
Buddhists believe that the Buddha, before attaining
enlightenment as Siddhartha Gautama, experienced many
reincarnations. Estimates vary, with some traditions
suggesting hundreds of thousands of lifetimes. The exact
number isn't definitively known, and the focus is less
on the specific count and more on the karmic journey
leading to enlightenment. The concept of rebirth in
Buddhism emphasizes the continuous cycle of existence (samsara),
driven by actions and intentions.
