Actually, it seems as if the idea of rebirth in new bodies was part of the old European pagan traditions, and they would never have heard of Eastern cultures.
Of course, Christianity opposed the idea of reincarnation because it makes their doctrines of salvation redundant. Therefore they suppressed the old traditions.
