) To Hindus, all existence is ranked. People who live virtuously earn good karma and are reborn at a higher level of existence. Those who do evil acquire a bad karma and are reborn into suffering at a lower level of existence. In Indian art, this cycle of death and rebirth is symbolized by the image of the wheel.
2) To escape the wheel of fate, Hinduism stresses the importance of dharma, the religious and moral duties of an individual. These duties vary according to class, occupation, gender, and age.
3) Most people cannot achieve moksha in one lifetime, but Hindus believe in reincarnation. Reincarnation allows people to continue working toward moksha through several lifetimes.
