In Buddhism, it is believed that your consciousness continues after your physical death and you will be reborn. Reincarnation in Buddhism is based on the ideas of

  • the law of cause and effect (karma) and

  • the acceptance of a beginningless continuum of consciousness.

Consciousness can continue after you body dies because mind and body are seen as distinct (even though they do influence each other) and thus each have a separate continuum.

Your inherited past actions remain as a subtle potential within the continuum of the mind. When activated, they cause the bringing together of mind and body, thus leading to a particular rebirth.

Likewise, when the potential of these inherited past actions is exhausted, then the continuum of your mind is separated from your body. So, the continuum of your mind or your consciousness does not die with your body but continues to your next rebirth.
