In addition
- Buddhists have no creation story, Hindu have a poetic written tradition of this event.
- Buddhists have no hierarchical clergy, Hindus have a Brahman caste
- Buddhists have no formal places reserved for worship, Hindus have temples
- Buddhism has no Caste System
- The concept and process of reincarnation are handled differently

- A belief in reincarnation
- The concept of Nirvana
- The concept of Karma
