The "Cycle of Rebirth," also known as Samsara, is a fundamental concept in several Eastern religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism. It refers to the continuous cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth that all living beings experience. According to these beliefs, the soul or consciousness is reborn into a new body after death, influenced by the actions (or karma) accumulated in previous lives.
The ultimate goal in these traditions is to break free from this cycle and achieve moksha or nirvana, which represents liberation and spiritual enlightenment. This release from Samsara is attained through various practices, including meditation, ethical living, and self-realization, allowing individuals to transcend the limitations of physical existence.
