Oh…. here come the Christians, there probably going to complain about your punctuation or at least put you down.
I don’t know, but you could check here: http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/reincarnation.htm
Reincarnation is not the right term in buddhism. In my view, it is the rebirth of consciousness, not of your body.
Wikipedia describes it well:
“… through careful observation of the mind, it is possible to see consciousness as being a sequence of conscious moments rather than a continuum of awareness. Each moment is an experience of an individual mind-state: a thought, a memory, a feeling, a perception. A mind-state arises, exists and, being impermanent, ceases following which the next mind-state arises. Thus the consciousness of a sentient being can be seen as a continuous series of birth and death of these mind-states. In this context rebirth is simply the persistence of this process. Clearly this explanation of rebirth is wholly divorced from rebirth which may follow bodily death.”
schmoe posted it first, but just in case you missed it this link should explain what you are looking for

You won’t find anything here but nonsensical answers and Christian and Athiests trying to prosletyze. If you want an authentic answer, write me privately.
Everyone reincarnates. The better person you are in one life the better situation you will be born into in the next life.
You can reincarnate in 5 or 6 ways:
1. a deva – a god
2.. a human
3. an asura – a fighting god
4. a peta – hungry ghost
5. an animal
6. a hell dweller
Shown above are 6 ways. To make it 5 ways, take out the asura group (#3 group).
Buddhism does not teach reincarnation, it teaches rebirth. In order to reincarnate (incarnate: invested with bodily and especially human nature and form; reincarnate: to incarnate again) one needs to exist in some form to incarnate in the first place. Buddhism teaches non self, no soul, there is no duality to our existence. So what you perceive as self is nothing more than a chain of events experienced by the Self, the One, That, and it does not end with death; death is just a link in that chain. Rebirth is the next link in the chain unless this particular chain is broken (moksha) at which time death is the last link, and that chain of events has concluded.
