Samsara

Samsara is a concept from Indian religions, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism, that refers to the continuous cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. It signifies the journey of the soul through different forms of existence based on one's actions (karma) in previous lives. The ultimate goal in these spiritual traditions is to escape this cycle and achieve liberation (moksha or nirvana), which represents a state of enlightenment and freedom from suffering. Samsara emphasizes the transient nature of life and the importance of moral living to attain a more favorable rebirth or eventual liberation.
