Siddhartha Gautama, who became known as the Buddha, had issues with the teachings of reincarnation primarily because they emphasized a cycle of suffering and attachment that he believed could be transcended. He viewed the concept of an eternal self (atman) being reborn as a source of suffering and illusion. Instead, he proposed the idea of anatta, or "no-self," suggesting that clinging to the notion of a permanent identity leads to suffering. His teachings focused on achieving enlightenment and liberation from this cycle rather than merely accepting reincarnation.

Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, accepted the idea of reincarnation, which is the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth influenced by one's actions (karma). However, he rejected the notion of a permanent, unchanging self (atman) that persists through these cycles.
