What parts of Hinduism did Siddhartha accept?

Parts of Hinduism accepted by the Buddha:

1. Body and mind are two separate and different study objects in spiritualism.

2. A mind can be trained for working in a particular pattern.

3. Mantras are specially designed to generate specific vibrations on recitations for specific spiritual activations.

4. Rebirth- But technically different and an associated transitional event. In Buddhism, rebirth is just not an important issue. The Important issue is the causes of rebirth.

5. Celestial abodes- But are not the goals in Buddhism.

Parts of Hinduism not accepted by the Buddha:

1. Caste systems.

2. A supreme creator GOD or GODs and services to them.

[ In Buddhism, there is no first cause or the last cause, rather non of these two- i.e Emptiness the Ultimate realisation]

3. Vedas and Blind faith on scriptures.

4. Soul (Atma) have an absolute self.

[ In Buddhism, soul is a continuum of the ever changing and impermanent nature of this universe]

3. Animal sacrifices and animal discrimination.

[ In Buddhism- Animals and Humans have the same seed of compassion and capacity equal to what the Buddha had. But animals are more ignorant by their Karmas. So, a seed of Buddha-hood doesn't have the right to sacrifice another Buddha-hood seed]

6. Any kind of open talks, displays and stories about Magical or spiritual powers in which wisdoms are subordinate to surprises. Spritual powers are by products of the spritualism itself like the birds on trees. Becoming a tree should not get subordinated to the birds.
