The Buddha would say that the source of beliefs are from the universe (life) itself and that all the Buddha did was to uncover the truth of them. But we attribute the Dharma (teachings) to the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama.

Although Buddhism and Hinduism share many cultural memes (concepts, symbols, etc.) the basic precepts are not the same. The source of Beliefs for Buddhism came from the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. Many of Buddhist beliefs are entirely different from Hinduism, which did not exist in his time. During his lifetime the main religion was Brahmanism which later evolved into Hinduism.
