Question

'which statement accurately describes a difference between hindu and buddhist beliefs about death'

Answer 1

Although both religions believe in an  endless cycle of births or samsara, there are still some aspects of that belief they differ. For Hindus, they believe in an everlasting soul that is reincarnated while, for Buddhists, they believe that there wasn't a constant soul but a collection of senses, feelings and other intangibles that made up all human beings.
