What Is 2 Similarity Of Hinduism And Buddhism?
Both are Dharmic religions based on the law of karma and belief in reincarnation. Some differences of approach are there, but the ultimate aim of both is Moksha(Hindu) or Nirvana(Buddhism). Buddhism was actually born of Hinduism. The basic difference is this. Hindus believe in an eternal existence of self which can eventually merge into a greater self (Atman). Buddhists, however, believe that the self(ego) is ultimately transitory, and its elimination is freedom from material existence which is suffering. They are really quite different approaches with very different endpoints, yet the practices (meditation, chanting, self-discipline) and effects (happiness, serenity) are very similar. Both realize that life seen through the bodily senses is not the ultimate reality which is transcendent to the material world.

Which religion spread the farthest Hinduism or Buddhism?
Hinduism is more populous, but Buddhism is found in more different places and practiced by more diverse groups of people.It is important to note here, the difference between active proselytizing and passive spreading. In the case of Hinduism, the religion has not been actively proselytized outside of India for nearly 1500 years. That Hinduism has spread outside of India (to far off places like Fiji or Guyana) is because the British Empire transported Indians outside of India. There are more Hindus than Buddhists because India is more populous than all Buddhist majority countries combined. Conversely, Buddhism actively proselytized and converted vast swathes of people in different countries and continues to try converting others. In fact, most places outside of India that were once Hindu-majority as a result of Hindu proselytism became Buddhist-majority through Buddhist proselytism.
