Hindus and Buddhists believe in birth, death, and rebirth (reincarnation), which is never-ending cycle. To be saved from this cycle, Hindus are required to walk the three-fold path. The first being works, the second path is true knowledge or realization that the individual is a manifestation of Brahman, and the third path is in devotion to their religion, family, and community.
