Not all Buddhists believe in reincarnation. The Buddha did not teach reincarnation, although it is part of the doctrine of some Buddhist traditions. The Buddha spoke of 'rebirth' in some teachings. This is understood by some to refer to a new start in the present lifetime, not the beginning of a new life after death. The idea of reincarnation may have been absorbed into Buddhism from Hinduism, which does recognize and believe in reincarnation.

How did popular Buddhism compare with original Buddhist teachings?
I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, to which is the tradition I practice, added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.
