How many times may the soul go through the cycle of birth and rebirth in hindusim?

The Soul is immortal, it is a universal power, it is the spirit, it is the Atman - it is everywhere. The Soul doesn't go through the cycle of death and rebirth because the Soul never dies. The Soul is immortal. It is like air in a balloon.. with air in the room that you live in, how many balloons can you blow? You can blow one balloon and burst it. You can blow a hundred balloons and burst them. You can blow a million balloons or a billion balloons...air is everywhere and when the balloons burst, the air merges with the air that is everywhere. So does the Soul. The Soul is everywhere. The body dies, the one inside the body is the ME, the Mind and the Ego. It is the ME that goes into the cycle of birth and rebirth. This goes on, again and again till we realize the Truth and we are liberated, then there is no rebirth.

What does reincarnation mean to Buddhist?

There is more than one understanding of what rebirth is according to Buddhism. In general, a traditional view is that if one is not enlightened in this life, then one still generates "the fruits of one's actions" (the results of karmic actions) and the remaining fruits that have not been applied to this life will be applied in the next life. What exactly gets reborn, in this cosmology, is still debated. Modern western Buddhism has developed the understanding that when the Buddha spoke about rebirth he was using it as a metaphor -- that what is born and reborn is our created "self" -- the one that gets mistaken for our eternal selves, our "atman", our "soul". It is our created self that keeps us stuck in a cycle of delusion, greed, ill will, ignorance -- a literally "self perpetuating" cycle. When we see this accurately we can practice skills that will help us break out of it.
