I do not know enough Hinduism nor Buddhism, but i know a little about their idea of an afterlife.

The Hindus believe in "transmigration" when you die from what i gather your soul which is separate from karma (cause and effect and all that is material) gets judged by Krishna or whatever you call God based on your karma.

Whereas the Buddhists believe in "metempsychosis" since they believe in no soul or underlying self, the thing that reincarnates is not more you than your finger is you, also the thing that reincarnates (sometimes called the subtle self) is not separate from karma but just another more mystical expression of it. This subtle self decides to reincarnate because it feels it has unattended business on earth.
