14 Afterlife beliefs from different religions (With Pics)

2. Buddhism

According to the Buddhists, life is a journey whereas death is returning to earth. Most of the religions that believe in reincarnation have a similar idea of where they believe an individual ends up after this life, despite slight variations concerning how someone gets to the next reincarnation or achieves Nirvana. According to Buddhism, a Buddha who has attained a state of enlightenment is the only one who gets to enter Nirvana, the highest state of perfect peace and happiness where one’s individual suffering and desires do not exist. Those who fail to achieve nirvana are reborn immediately after their death, where they receive another body.
