Reincarnation is the concept that the soul or spirit, after death of the physical body, is reborn in a new body, whether human, animal or spiritual, depending on the moral actions of the previous life. This is a core belief of Hinduism and Buddhism, and was also believed by ancient figures like Pythagoras, Plato and Socrates. While most major world religions today do not embrace reincarnation, many people in recent decades have developed an interest in it.

philosophical concept that the soul or
spirit, after biological death, begins a
new life in a new body that may be
human, animal or spiritual depending on
the moral quality of the previous life's
actions.

4. This doctrine is a central tenet of the
Indian religions and is a belief that was
held by such historic figures as
Pythagoras, Plato and Socrates.

5. It is also a common belief of pagan
religions such as Druidism, Spiritism,
Theosophy, and Eckankar and is found in
many tribal societies around the world, in
places such as Siberia, West Africa, North
America, and Australia.

6. In recent decades, many Europeans and
North Americans have developed an
interest in reincarnation. Contemporary
films, books, and popular songs frequently
mention reincarnation. In the last decades,
academic researchers have begun to
explore reincarnation and published reports
of children's memories of earlier lives in
peer-reviewed journals and books. Skeptics
are generally incredulous about this and
any other claims of life after death.

7. Reincarnation is the natural process of
birth, death and rebirth. Indians believe
that the Jiva or Atman(soul) is intrinsically
pure.

8. The early Buddhist texts make it clear that
there is no permanent consciousness
that moves from life to life. Gautama
Buddha taught a distinct concept of
rebirth constrained by the concepts of
anattā, that there is no irreducible
ātman or "self" tying these lives together,
which serves as a contrast to Hinduism,
where everything is connected, and in a
sense, "everything is everything.

9. Though the major Christian
denominations reject the concept of
reincarnation, a large number of
Christians profess the belief. Geddes
MacGregor, an Episcopalian priest
demonstrates in his book Reincarnation
in Christianity that Christian doctrine and
reincarnation are not mutually exclusive
belief systems.

10. The idea of reincarnation is accepted by
a few Muslim sects. Historically, South
Asian Isma'ilis performed chantas yearly,
one of which is for sins committed in past
lives.

11. Reincarnation is not an essential tenet of
traditional Judaism. It is a common belief
in contemporary Hasidic Judaism, which
regards the Kabbalah as sacred and
authoritative, though unstressed in
favour of a more innate psychological
mysticism.
