Key:
It's in the vowels
Explanation:
Samsara words contain multiple sets of vowels which are repeated:
pIpElInE (IE-IE), AvErAgE (AE-AE), spOkEswOmEn (OE-OE), AntEjUrAmEntUm (AEU-AEU), AntIcApItAlIst (AI-AI-AI) etc.
Note:
As @el-guest pointed out, some of the non-samsaran words also fit this pattern (adequate, dilapidated), but they contain other vowels that are not repeated. Samsaran words contain exclusively repeated vowels.
Title:
Perhaps they are called Samsara words because Samsara is a repeated cycle of birth and death

I think the answer is that:
Every vowel of a Samsaran word occurs in the word more than once.
This allows the corner case
Weather-Beaten, which contains 4 Es and two As.
Also, the word Samsaran is itself a Samsaran word (kinda... more on that below).
I phrased my answer this way in order not to specify the number of vowels required. Why, you may ask?
Funnily enough,
The condition "is a Samsaran word" is not completely defined. Must there be two or more vowels? There are no counterexamples to prove it, and no examples preclude it... Is "book" a Samsaran word? For that matter, is "tsktsks" a Samsaran word?
I didn't mean to swoop User omzrs' answer. I arrived at my solution independently, then looked at the spoilers on that answer, only to find that I had been beaten by about 6 hours. However, I posted mine because I felt I had a more precise definition and something important to add to the discussion.

Funnily enough,
The condition "is a Samsaran word" is not completely defined. Must there be two or more vowels? There are no counterexamples to prove it, and no examples preclude it... Is "book" a Samsaran word? For that matter, is "tsktsks" a Samsaran word?
I didn't mean to swoop User omzrs' answer. I arrived at my solution independently, then looked at the spoilers on that answer, only to find that I had been beaten by about 6 hours. However, I posted mine because I felt I had a more precise definition and something important to add to the discussion.

I think the answer is that:
Every vowel of a Samsaran word occurs in the word more than once.
This allows the corner case
Weather-Beaten, which contains 4 Es and two As.
Also, the word Samsaran is itself a Samsaran word (kinda... more on that below).
I phrased my answer this way in order not to specify the number of vowels required. Why, you may ask?
