There were four Indian Castes at the time of Buddha's birth. Buddha was born in the royal caste. Brahmin was the highest caste. Buddha learned everything about Brahmin teachings, but was not satisfied with them. He was also not satisfied with the teachings of other religions, and finally he found his own path towards englightenment to eliminate the sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Brahmin religion later evolved into Hinduism, merging some of the Buddha's teachings. This happened after Buddha's death.

Enlightenment in Buddhism is the realization of the three law: (1) all things are impermanent, (2) all things lack inherent existence (no-self), (3) and that nirvana is perfect quiesence. It is attained via Prajna Wisdom.
