What is the highest thing you can be in the re-incarnation cycle of Buddhism?

Strictly speaking, Buddhism (at least the Therevadan school), does not teach re-incarnation. This is because the Buddha teaches anatta, or lack of a permanent, abiding self. No permanent soul - no soul to be reincarnated. Buddhism does, however, teach of rebirth. This is slightly, but crucially different. "Don't think you are like some traveller, sometimes well lodged, sometimes badly lodged, always moving on and always forgetting. Fresh issues onto the universe the sum of all that has gone before" What you are and will become is the result of your karma, your past and present actions.


What are the key differences between moksha and nirvana in Hinduism and Buddhism, and how do these concepts relate to the ultimate goal of spiritual liberation?

Moksha in Hinduism and Nirvana in Buddhism both represent the ultimate goal of spiritual liberation. The key difference lies in their understanding of the self. In Hinduism, moksha is the liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth by realizing the true self (atman) as one with the universal soul (Brahman). In Buddhism, Nirvana is the extinguishing of the self (anatta) and desires, leading to the end of suffering. Both concepts emphasize the transcendence of the ego and attachment to achieve spiritual liberation.
