Buddhism encompasses all these beliefs: it posits the concept of reincarnation without an eternal, unchanging soul (anatta); it teaches the goal of ending the cycle of rebirths (samsara) through achieving Nirvana; and it is founded on the Four Noble Truths, the first of which states that life as it is conventionally lived is characterized by suffering (dukkha).
