Hindu and Buddhists beliefs in reincarnation are different.

Buddhist do not believe in a complete never changing soul of a person that gets reborn (transmigration) into a new body. Instead we believe that our current consciousness is an aggregation of our past actions and consciousness and other factors. When we die the consciousness that arises in a new person is neither identical nor entirely different from that the previous one but the two form a continuum or stream.

Think of it this way. Imagine all the consciousness of the world is an ocean. The ocean moves around due to different actions and forms waves. Those waves are like people. They arise, stay for a while and then rejoin the ocean, only to arise somewhere else in a slightly differnt manner. That's how we view rebirth.

In Hinduism, the soul is immortal and reincarnated through the cycle of lives each time in a body which is born and dies. People gain karma by acting, which prompts the need for reincarnation. As one goes through the cycle of rebirth if they achieve a higher level of spiritual enlightenment they can escape the cycle of rebirth and death and achieve moksha (Liberation) which leads to an afterlife in a heavenly realm.
