Hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism all maintain belief in __________, the “wheel of life.

The answer is reincarnation.

In the dharmic religions (Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism), and also Sikhism the wheel of life is a mandala or symbolic representation of samsara, the continuous cycle of birth, life, death over and over again, otherwise known as reincarnation. Every time we die we are reborn in a new physical form but with the same soul.
