Ahimsa is really a concept of Yoga in Hinduism. Yoga, in its most true form, is a form of Hindu spiritual practice. Ahimsa is the practice of non-harming. it is one of the 5 Yamas (restraints or limbs) of Yoga. Buddhism has a similar practice found in the Noble Eightfold Path, which is not to kill any sentient being. BTW, many Buddhists, like myself, also practice Yoga because there is a lot of commonality between practices, us Buddhists just don't worry about the Hindu God aspect of the practice.
