Best Answer

This is not a "Yes/No" question. Buddhism includes the concept of reincarnation but its goal is the cessation of suffering and the ultimate escape from the cycle of death and re-birth. More importantly Buddhism is about a way of life that discourages desire for unnecessary things and attachment to the illusions of the world.
