'First, Assalayana, you based your claim on birth, then you gave up birth for learning, and finally you have come round to my way of thinking, that all four classes are equally pure!"

Did Buddhist's believe in Hindu gods?
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.

What is the idea of brahmanism?
Brahmanism seems to be an intermediate between Sanatana Dharma and Hinduism, when people could not understand the truth about the nameless and formless Brahman. What, therefore, came about is Brahmanism, with a kind of name and form. Probably after that came about the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva but all this is a figment of man’s imagination that is born out of ignorance. The whole idea of Brahman is the nameless and formless but when we give it a name and form, it loses its relevance. God is the power, God cannot be identified in a statue or a name or a form. God is unlimited. God is beyond definition and beyond comprehension.

Who do the people in Buddhism pray to?
The concept of "praying" and "praying to" is foreign to Buddhism.Buddhism has no deity so there is no one there to pray to. Buddhists believe that a person comes to enlightenment by their own initiative not by intervention or "salvation." Praying is generally a supplication to a deity for intervention, protection, salvation, or a show of obedience and so on.As for Buddhiss praying to Buddha, for those non-Buddhists that claim that the Buddha is the god in Buddhism. He is not. He is a man who by his own efforts became enlightened. The charm of the Buddha is that if he can become enlightened we can all do the same for ourselves by following the Eightfold Path.

What is different about Buddhism from other types of worship?
While it's true that some people do "worship" the Buddha, fundamentally Buddhism is not religious in nature. The Buddha (Awakened One) himself asked not to be worshiped. He also did not argue or try to persuade others to follow him. He simply presented his philosophies and invited others to test it for themselves. In this way alone, the Buddha differs from most all other "religious" figures, in that he did not claim to have "the only truth". In it's simplest form, the teachings are this: Sit and notice the breath. Do not accept or reject anything that happens, just be. Liberation follows. Of course, this is an oversimplification; the Buddha taught for many years, and has many more teachings than most of his "peers".
