Some Hindus consider Gautama Buddha to be reincarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Gautama Buddha's teachings challenged Hinduism by not acknowledging a hereditary priesthood. He disagreed with some of the sacrificial rituals which were performed during his time.
Hinduism developed into Buddhism from the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who is better known as the Buddha.
That is how I see it too since Gautama Buddha was a Hindu prince. The teachings in Buddhism is parallel to the Hinduism.
Hinduism existed many years before the birth of the Buddha.
Siddartha Gautama is the real name of Buddha. He was commonly known as Buddha because he created the belief of Buddhism. But his real name is Siddartha Gautama.
Yes,Buddha is not considered a God. Buddha is to Hinduism as Jesus is to Christianity. Gautama Buddha was born a Hindu, but tried to reform Hinduism.Buddhism has been referred to as Hinduism lite for that reason. Buddha founded Buddhism in India, but it is much more popular in China than India where Hinduism is still the dominant religion.Hindus actually only believe in one god, Brahma, but they believe that Brahma has many faces. The fact that they have names for the many faces of Brahma leads to misunderstandings and is one of the reasons for conflicts with Muslims.
