Both Hinduism and Buddhism teach of repeated rebirths, of dying in each life, and being reborn into another life based upon the life just lived. This placement is determined by how well you live your current life. The only salvation from this endless cycle is liberation unto Brahman. For the Hindu salvation is achieved by the way of works, knowledge, and devotion. For the Buddhist, escape comes from the attainment of the highest spiritual state, or Nirvana.
