Buddhism may be nothing like you've ever learned about before. This religion works with its own unique rules and has different beliefs than some other religions. One example is the concept of reincarnation. Wow, that's a strange, big word, right? Reincarnation means that after you die, you will be born again. It could happen that you are reborn as a human, but you may also become a frog, a rabbit, a millionaire, or maybe a princess or even a dinosaur! Buddhism believes in things that are different from religions like Christianity. It'll be difficult to explain everything about Buddhism in this article.
