Buddhism

Buddhism was founded by the Buddha, and nobody knows who founded Hinduism.

That's a great question. I would think that Jainism is the most like Buddhism. They are both Dharmic religions with very similar beliefs.

No. Buddhists generally are not superstitious; so buying your own is perfectly OK.

Buddhism is not a religion rather it is a tradition that focuses on personal spiritual development. Buddhists strive for a deep insight into the true nature of life and do not worship gods or deities.

Buddhism was founded in Northern India by the first known Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, in 6th century BC, after he attained enlightenment and assumed the title Lord Buddha (one who has awakened). Buddhism is a path of practice and spiritual development leading to Insight into the true nature of reality. Buddhist practices like meditation are means of changing yourself in order to develop the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom.

strictly speaking, there is none. The Buddha never concerned himself with answering the question of whether there is a God or Gods, since it was irrelevant to the question of how to free oneself from suffering and become enlightened. Certain sects of Buddhist believe that there are spirits that are powerful (like Mara, AKA Maya, known as the deceiver) , but we pray to no Gods. Our practice, as we call it, is to bring about a ultimate understanding of the world as it is, without preconception, so that we can be free of suffering (be happy) and help others obtain this state. If there is one truism, have many happy, smiling Buddhist monks do you see? Lots and lots thanks to the truths the Buddha has taught us.

Dukkha, or suffering to the Buddhist is extinguished by eliminating desire. It is an axiom of Buddhism that all suffering is caused by desire, hence to eliminate suffering, you only need to eliminate desire.

They aren't really related to each other, and they have only superficial similarities. Roman Catholicism focuses on salvation of the soul through good deeds and faith in Jesus Christ and acknowledging him as the Son of God. Buddhism, which in many ways is more a philosophy than a spiritual religion, focuses on accepting that life is suffering and that letting go of human desires reduces suffering on the way toward nirvana, or enlightenment.

They don't think you die, they celebrate rebirth.

Buddhists do care very much for the environment. The Earth is our mother and we rely on it for everything. Buddhists believe deeply that sentient beings are a part of the world, not masters of it or that we need to rise above it.

Statues of their gods and Hindu Temples dedicated to their gods. They were very religious. Their religions were Hinduism and Buddhism. The Buddha found enlightenment and from that point on, he was called the Buddha, also for his wonderful actions.

The Bodhi-Tree or wisdom-tree is a sacred symbol in Buddhism for a number of reasons. * It represents the place of the Buddha's enlightenment, and is therefore sacred geographically.* It is ancient. Some would say it is the mythical World Tree. Thus, it is sacred temporally. * It represents growth towards liberation. Therefore, it is sacred developmentally. * It was said to rain blossoms, and is thus sacred aesthetically.

Some talk exists of Buddha being born as an immaculate conception, but this is generally not supported by scholars. There is reference to a dream that Queen Maya had after many years to have a baby with her husband. Her dream of an elephant passing into the side of her body Shortly after this she found was pregnant with Siddhartha Gautama. The years of trying to have a baby part of the story precludes a virgin birth or immaculate conception. A closer similarity might be found in the story of Abraham and Sarah and their efforts to have a son (Isaac) They had been trying for years to have a child but only succeeded by divine intervention.
