Similar: Both originate from India, Lord Buddha being born in Gaya, Bihar; Lord Rama in Ayodhya, and Lord Krishna in Gokula, U.P
Both use chanting of prayers and mantras to purify, focus and instruct the mind.
Both meditate on and worship Deities (Sri Murti), which tallies with the Beatitude "Blessed are the Pure in Heart, for they shall see God". Some (many) in the Mosaic faiths (Moses 10 commandments) consider this idolatry, but we assert that, it is not those who meditate on the picture or statue of God or the gods (angels, Lord Jesus, saints, Buddhas, Ganesh, Hanuman, etc.) who are At Fault, but rather those who criticize them, and certainly those who destroy temples of any faith, are condemned by the Lord.
Differences: Buddhism seeks to attain Nirvana which is cessation of suffering as does Hinduism, but many sects (actually on both sides) consider nothingness to be the goal, which is rejected by personalists of the Bhakti school who want to be with God, rather than merge into him or simply cease to exist.
Buddhist texts are derived from Pali, the language of north India 2500 years ago (and thence into local languages, especially Tibetan, Burmese, Thai, Simhala, Chinese & Japanese).
Hindu texts mainly originated in Sanskrit, a more ancient language, but also in medieval Hindi like Tulsidas' Ramayana, or classical Bengali like Sri Chaitanya-Caritamrta (1486-1534AD).
Buddhists all shave their head clean, while Hindus adopt many styles showing their ashram, such as dreadlocks, or shaved but keeping a tuft or larger portion of hair at the back, called a sikha.
Hindus also wear markings on their foreheads, and bodies if they are sadhus, which display which tradition they belong to and whom they worship. Buddhists are more plain & simple in this regard.
Some Buddhist traditions use the chanting mala, rosary (eg. Tibetan) while others don't (eg. Zen, the impersonalist school). But again, some Hindus chant while others do silent meditation. Hinduism is an collection of very many religions and traditions from mountain to ocean, desert to plains, forest to jungle. It cannot be defined as a single religion. Buddhism also has its Mahayana and Hinayana traditions, Theravada, Chinese & Japanese schools (Ch'an - Dhyan - Zen - all mean meditation).
One big difference is that Buddhism professes that there is no God, but then proceeds to worship Buddha and the gods in that indirect way. Both traditions tend to be vegetarian but there are relaxations due to modernism or to remote location such as Tibet.
To summarise, we believe Hinduism gave birth to Buddhism, in some ways as a protest movement against animal sacrifice, casteism, & the suffering of the masses while the priests and kings enjoyed. Buddha led a movement to reform this, to show compassion to others, human and otherwise. There are many variations of both traditions, many areas of overlap and some bones of contention - but at root both share meditation, worship, and loving kindness at the core of their philosophies.
Similarities:
Both are Dharmic religions.
Both believe in reincarnation and karma.
Both have numerous gods.
Differences:
Hinduism has no founder. Buddhism was founded by (who else,) the Buddha(who was Hindu).
Hinduism believes in a Creator God.
Buddhism does not have a Supreme Creator.
Both Buddhism and Hinduism are rich and varied traditions with a range of schools and holy texts, so I can only try to make comparisons in the most general sense. Comparing and contrasting all Buddhist and Hindu traditions simultaneously cannot be done with any accuracy. I offer my own basic understanding; I give all respect to all traditions.
Buddhism has developed into varied distinct traditions for a number of reasons, not least because of the way it has now spread across the globe. For example the Buddhism practised in Korea, Japan or Mongolia might be very different from Buddhism in India or Europe. Hinduism also contains different traditions but generally speaking they are strongly rooted in Indian culture. Both Buddhism and Hinduism can be regarded as world religions'.
We can say that both Karma and reincarnation are central aspects of these systems, there is also a view that a particular way of behaving (virtue) will lead to an improved state (Nirvana) in a future life. Both Buddhists and Hindus therefore see a cause and effect taking place, how we act now in our present condition (Samsara) being directly related to what happens to us later. Both Buddhism and Hinduism originate from and were initially developed in the Indian sub-continent, both also hold to the idea that the soul/mind is an eternal/indestructible phenomenon.
The ways in which these two religions differ are almost countless, we should be clear that different sects of the same religions do not hold identical spiritual views on all matters.
Some of the major differences include:
Hinduism believes in reincarnation, and Buddhism has no gods or prophets. Islam is the only monotheistic religion of the six. Shintoism believes in many different gods. All have different views on after death, but all have similar beliefs and practices.
Buddhism and Hinduism are loaded with privileges and not have to pay taxes
They are all religionsThey are all older than 1300 yearsThey all encourage good behavior and frown on bad behaviorOtherwise, there are NO similarities between all five of these religions.
no
Between Hinduism and Buddhism there is some common tradition and the Buddha was a Hindu, but generally Hindus believe in a God and Buddhists do not. I am a Buddhist. As to Islam it is an Abrahamic faith just like Christianity and Judaism are, meaning they trace there heritage back to Abraham and all believe in the same creator God. After that there are other similarities in the 3 but far more differences.
Hinduism AND Buddhism have many similarities. Such as concept of Moksha (liberation) or Nirvana (Liberation) via meditation.
Okay, you should first check the differences between Hinduism and Buddhism. Wikipedia is a good start to.
According to my knowledge Hinduism and Buddhism are significantly different. The main differences can be seen below. Hinduism is a bit different from buddhism. hinduism worships many gods and goddess. while in buddhism there is no worshiping to god. also buddhism forbids violence. while hinduism permits violence when dharma is in danger. hinduism was never found by man while buddhism was found by lord buddha or siddhartha.
Hinduism believes in reincarnation, and Buddhism has no gods or prophets. Islam is the only monotheistic religion of the six. Shintoism believes in many different gods. All have different views on after death, but all have similar beliefs and practices.
Same religion ( Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism,Hinduism, and Islam
There is no similarity between Buddhism and Hinduism though both of them are originated from India. Main difference is Hinduism believes in existence of God while Buddhism dont.
Both Hinduism & Buddhism believe that a person should live to help others. A person should obey Non Violence and establish Peace.
Buddhism believes in no god in particular, Hinduism believes in many. Hinduism believes that you are reincarnated (reborn) many times. Buddhism believes in reincarnation only until you reach nirvana (perfect peace). And Lastly, Hinduism uses the caste system, a social ranking of importance, while Buddhists believe that the caste system is unfair.
Buddhism and Hinduism are loaded with privileges and not have to pay taxes
Buddhism was derived out of Hinduism, yet there are significant differences. Mainly on belief over one Supreme God and Moksha (liberation) or Nirvana (Liberation) methods.
