There are two kinds of changes: physical and chemical. Physical properties can change without changing the substance, while chemical properties do change the substance.

Physical properties, like you said mass or texture, can change without changing the substance because the properties don't change the fundamental state of the subject; it doesn't change anything like atoms or molecules.

For example, when you freeze water to make ice, it's a physical change. The water goes from a liquid state to a solid state. But, the substance isn't changed: the compound is still H2O whether it's water or ice.

Another example would be cutting a cake. You make a physical change by cutting a slice out of the cake: you make it smaller. However, afterwards, the cake is still a cake. You didn't turn it into a pie or a muffin; it stayed the same thing, a cake, while just getting smaller.

What are two key points about the Hindu belief samsara?

const2013 [10]

Hindu beliefs=
In order to understand Hinduism, we must learn about a few basic beliefs which form the foundation of the religion. These beliefs are rooted in both The Vedas and The Upanishads. Some of these ideas may be new to you, although some have become quite popular, such as the idea of reincarnation. Besides defining a belief system, these ideas also carry into Hindu law and rites of passage.

dharma =
dharma stands for the ultimate moral balance of all things.

karma=
 karma stands for the belief that a person experiences the affects of his or her actions�that every act or thought has consequences

samsara=
in the Western world, samsara is commonly known as reincarnation. Samsara represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth in which a person carries his or her own karma. Each life cycle presents an opportunity for balance

moksha=
like heaven for the Christian, Hindus strive to reach moksha, or a state of changeless bliss. Moksha is achieved by living a life of religious devotion and moral integrity without any interest in worldly things. However, it may be many lifetimes within the wheel of life before moksha is achieved.
