What is one of the most important beliefs in Buddhism?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The belief that there is in fact an afterlife.

Explanation:

<u>Buddhism is a religion and a philosophy according to which we seize the sense of existence only through leading an awaken and moral life.</u> This is the only way to attain <em>Nirvana</em>, a state of disconnection from the material life and all of its vices.

Man is destined to wander, from one life to another, until he fulfills this quest. Buddhism believes in <em>incarnation</em> but <em>only those who have not been enlightened are born again, granted with a new chance.</em>

<u>Karma</u> is also a crucial element of the Buddhist philosophy - everyone sooner or later faces the consequences of their actions, good or bad.
