What were some major books and literature in Buddhism?
The Buddha's teachings were transmitted orally for centuries before being written down. There are thousands of pages of such scriptures. In addition, many of the major figures of Buddhism have written books. For example, two classics are Nagarjuna's MULAMADHYAMAKAKARIKA [THE FUNDAMENTAL WISDOM OF THE MIDDLE WAY] and Shantideva's THE WAY OF THE BODHISATTVA. .
How did a buddhism become a religion?
It would depend on how you define 'religion'. I see religion as a means of preserving teachings in the form of verse (oral or written). This might incorporate rites and rituals as the teachings are passed down. So, in answer to your question, I'd say it was after the second or at the third council (~220 BC) when distinctions between reverential, doctrinal and disciplinary practices started to appear. But this is when religion becomes sectarian.

Why is there is greater variation in the teachings of Buddhism than in those of Hinduism?
The greater variation in the teachings of Buddhism compared to Hinduism can be attributed to the decentralized nature of Buddhism. Unlike Hinduism, which has a more centralized structure with texts like the Vedas and Upanishads, Buddhism has multiple schools and traditions that have developed over time, each with its own interpretations and practices. Additionally, Buddhism spread to different regions with diverse cultural influences, leading to further variations in teachings and practices. This diversity in Buddhism reflects its adaptability to different cultural contexts and the emphasis on personal experience and interpretation in its teachings.
