How are Buddhist teachings different from Hindu teachings .?

Answer 1

Hindus believe that fulfilling one's duty results in a life lived purely enough to end the production of karma and end the cycle of rebirth; the Buddhist view of karma is that it is not one's actions as applied to duty, but one's moral intentions that matter.

There is some debate about Buddhists' views of rebirth: many believe the Buddha taught Hindu rebirth and the possibility of ending that cycle; others believe the Buddha used rebirth as a metaphor, but that he taught that we need to get past holding the Hindu view in order to become truly free in this lifetime (rather than in some future lifetime).

However, one's intentions may be clouded by ignorance. In karma as in law, ignorance is no excuse, tho it may lessen the negative effects, somewhat. This is to say that thoughts and actions do count in the Buddhist view. Just because you think you are doing a good thing, does not mean that the karmic results will be good.

In many sense they are vastly different and is some they are similar. The differences include whether there are immortal god or gods; the necessity for rituals or priests; What the basic principal of the religion is.
