Reincarnation is the belief that a soul or person is reborn into a new life after death, a concept central to religions like Hinduism and Jainism. It matters to believers because it suggests that one's actions and spiritual state in life influence what form of existence—or state of being—they will experience in their next life.

Reincarnation, also known as rebirth or transmigration, is the philosophical or religious concept that nonmaterial essence of a living being begins a new lifespan in a different physical form or body after biological death. In most beliefs involving reincarnation, the soul of a human being is immortal and does not disperse after the physical body has perished. Upon death, the soul merely transmigrates into a newborn baby or into an animal to continue its immortality. (The term "transmigration" means the passing of a soul from one body to another after death.)
