Samsara is a concept in several Eastern religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, referring to the continuous cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. It represents the idea that all beings are trapped in a repetitive cycle of existence, influenced by their actions, or karma.
The ultimate goal in these traditions is to escape Samsara and achieve moksha or nirvana, which signifies liberation from this cycle. This escape is often sought through spiritual practices, ethical living, and the pursuit of wisdom, allowing individuals to transcend the limitations of physical existence.
