Every religion has a different viewpoint on the afterlife. While there may be some similarities, the differences are vast. Specifically, Hinduism and Buddhism differ in the way they approach the idea of the afterlife. That is the main difference; how they interpret death. However, a common theme across these religions is that a life well lived on earth today brings an eternal reward tomorrow. They believe in a better realm being promised once someone passes on.

quote from the bible shows that during the afterlife, Catholics believe that if people lived a well-behaved life, we will rest in peace in paradise which indicates Heaven. If not, they will end up in Hell. In Buddhism however, they believe in reincarnation. People will be reincarnated until they gain enlightenment.
