Reincarnation

Is reincarnation a Hindu/Buddhist belief, or a universal fact of life? How does it work? Can I choose what kind of body I get next?

Bodies constantly change—old cells die, new ones grow—but something inside the body—the self/soul/person—stays the same. The Bhagavad-gita is full of analogies about how this works.
