| [[Belief]] in reincarnation has ancient roots. This doctrine is a central tenet within the majority of Indian religious [[tradition]]s, such as Hinduism (including Yoga, Vaishnavism, and Shaivism) and Jainism. The [[idea]] was also entertained by some ancient Greek philosophers. Many modern Neopagans also believe in reincarnation as do some [[New Age]] movements, along with followers of Spiritism, practitioners of certain African [[tradition]]s, and students of esoteric philosophies such as [[Kabbalah]], and Gnostic and Esoteric Christianity. The Buddhist concept of Rebirth although often referred to as reincarnation differs significantly from the Hindu-based traditions and New Age movements in that there is no unchanging "[[soul]]" (or eternal self) to reincarnate. | | [[Belief]] in reincarnation has ancient roots.
