Do Buddhists worship Hindus at Hindu temples and do Hindus worship Buddhists at Buddhist temples?

Yes, it is possible cause Buddha himself was a Hindu. No, not typically. these are two separate and distinct religions. As to the Buddha previously being a Hindu, Hinduism today is much different than in the Buddha's time. Scholars are uncertain, but most likely he was a follower of Brahmanism, not a Hindu.


Do those who are not monks have any role in Buddhism?

Yes, those who are not ordained monks or nuns have always had an important role in the community of Buddhists. As Buddhism spread from what is today India to other eastern countries and, in the 20th century, to the west, it adapted itself to different cultures. Today in the west, most Buddhists are not celibate monks or nuns. Communities of monks and nuns are usually supported by many practitioners outside those communities. Most people today who engage in Buddhist practices designed to minimize suffering are neither monks nor nuns. .
