One fundamental belief of Buddhism if often referred to as reincarnation-the concept that people are reborn after dying. Most people go through many cycles of birth, living, death and rebirth. The three trainings or practices of Buddhism are: Sila, Samadhi, and Prajna.
-Sila: Virtue, good conduct and morality. Which is based on two principles, the principle of equality; that all living things are equal and the principle of reciprocity; to do onto others as you would wish them do onto you which is also the golden rule in Christianity.

-Prajna: Discernment, insight, wisdom and enlightenment. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm.
