'Reinkarnation' is made up of the prefix 'Re-' and 'Inkarnation'. 'Re-' expresses repetition; 'Inkarnation' refers to taking on a physical form.
Nach dieser Vorstellung nimmt die Seele bei der Reinkarnation erneut eine körperliche Gestalt an.
According to this idea, the soul takes on a physical form again through reincarnation.
A typical expression is 'an die Reinkarnation glauben' (to believe in reincarnation). After 'glauben an' (to believe in), the thing someone believes in is in the accusative.
Glaubst du an die Reinkarnation?

When discussing religious or philosophical ideas, 'die Lehre von der Reinkarnation' (the doctrine of reincarnation) and 'die Vorstellung der Reinkarnation' (the idea of reincarnation) are common expressions. This allows you to talk about the topic without expressing a personal belief in it.
Im Seminar beschäftigen wir uns mit der Lehre von der Reinkarnation.
