How do Buddha teachings differ from Hindu teachings?
Buddhism - a religion, originated in India by Buddha (Gautama) and later spreading to China, Burma, Japan, Tibet, and parts of southeast Asia, holding that life is full of suffering caused by desire and that the way to end this suffering is through enlightenment that enables one to halt the endless sequence of births and deaths to which one is otherwise subject. Hinduism - the common religion of India, based upon the religion of the original Aryan settlers as expounded and evolved in the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad-Gita, etc., having an extremely diversified character with many schools of philosophy and theology, many popular cults, and a large pantheon symbolizing the many attributes of a single god. Buddhism and Jainism are outside the Hindu tradition but are regarded as related religions. Hinduism is not based solely on the religion of Aryans and the Vedas. Actually that forms a small part of Hinduism. Hinduism was practiced in India even before the arrival of Aryans. It was a mix of aboriginal and dravidian beliefs. That is why none of the Gods and Goddesses that hindus worship today are mentioned in the Vedas (Shiva, Durga, Rama, Krishna, Ganesha, Kartikeya, Hanuman, etc.) Considered minutely, there is no difference between Hinduism and Buddhism, except for the rejection of Vedas, Gods and Goddesses (though Buddhism has its own), and rituals. The philosophy of Buddhism takes off only from Hinduism. But Buddhism is not the only one or the first to do so. Jainism, the extinct Charvak philosophy, also say the same. Jainism, Buddhism, and in the later times Sikhism were not established as different religions. Those who established them wanted a return to good old (non-Aryan) ways.

If you were to define it in one word it would be physiology. Buddhism looks at how people can deal with death by looking at how the brain physically works and functions.
