Reincarnation

Reincarnation is the belief that a soul when it dies is given another form to live in a constant cycle of birth and death. How that applies depends on the belief system that teaches reincarnation, as one person's belief in reincarnation may be that the person appears in a form similar to the last form, though distinctly different (such as a human being reincarnated as another human), while another person's belief in reincarnation may be that the person appears in a form that's entirely different from the previous form (such as a human being being reincarnated as an animal).
