Though most of the aspects of Hinduism and Buddhism are the same, there are some differences between these two great religions. We will try to point out those differences in this article.
Differences between Hinduism and Buddhism:
1. Hinduism has no single founder. Buddhism was founded by Lord Gautam Buddha.
2. Buddhism does not comment on God but it only talks about Godness. Hinduism strongly believes in God.
3. Hinduism advocates rituals, prayers as well as meditation as forms of worship whilst Buddhism advocates only meditation as a form of worship.
4. Hinduism believes in the caste system. Buddhism does not believe in a caste system.
5. Buddhism accepted an evangelistic approach to spread Buddhism. Hinduism did not accept an evangelistic approach to spread Hinduism.
Hinduism allows every individual to discover his/her own way to get close to God….So,I guess these differences dont matter much!
The better part is that both these religions teach tolerance..
