Hinduism and Buddhism share some of the following similarities.

2) According to the Buddha, desire is the root cause of suffering and removal of desire results in the cessation of suffering. Some of the Hindu texts such as the Upanishads (Isa) and the Bhagavadgita consider doing actions prompted by desire an attachment would lead to bondage and suffering and that performing actions without desiring the fruit of action would result in liberation.

11) Both originated and evolved on the Indian soil. The founder of Buddhism was a Hindu who became the Buddha. Buddhism is the greatest gift of India to mankind.
B) Differences:
Following are some of the differences in the principles and practice of these two religions.
1) Hinduism is not founded by any particular prophet. Buddhism was founded by the Buddha.
2) Hinduism believes in the efficacy and supremacy of the Vedas. The Buddhist do not believe in the Vedas or for that matter any Hindu scripture.
3) Buddhism does not believe in the existence of souls as well in the first cause, whom we generally call God. Hinduism believe in the existence of Atman , that is the individual soul and Brahman, the Supreme Creator.
4) Hinduism accepts the Buddha as an incarnation of Mahavishnu, one of the gods of Hindu trinity. The Buddhist do not accept any Hindu god either as equivalent or superior to the Buddha.
5) The original Buddhism as taught by the Buddha is known as Theravada Buddhism or Hinayana Buddhism. Followers of this do not worship images of the Buddha nor believe in the Bodhisattvas. The Mahayana sect considers the Buddha as the Supreme Soul or the Highest Being, akin to the Brahman of Hinduism and worship him in the form of images and icons.
6) The Buddhists consider the world to be full of sorrow and regard ending the sorrow as the chief aim of human life. The Hindus consider that there are four chief aims (arthas) in life which every being should pursue. They are dharma (religious duty), artha (wealth or material possessions), kama (desires and passions) and moksha (salvation.)
7) Hindus also believe in the four ashramas or stages in life. This is not followed in Buddhism. People can join the Order any time depending upon their spiritual preparedness.
8) Buddhists organize themselves into a monastic Order (Sangha) and the monks live in groups. Hinduism is basically a religion of the individual.
9) Buddhism believes in the concept of Bodhisattvas. Hinduism does not believe in it.
10) Buddhism acknowledge the existence of some gods and goddesses of Hindu pantheon, but give them a rather subordinate status.
11) Refuge in the Buddha, the Sangha and Dhamma are the three cardinal requirements on the eightfold path. Hinduism offers many choices to its followers on the path of self-realization.
12) Although both religions believe in karma and rebirth, they differ in the manner in which they operate and impact the existence of individual beings.
Buddhism includes, religious text called Tripitaka or the 3 Baskets. Followers of the religion believe, that pain and suffering can be abolished if the person ends all of their desires. Buddhism aims to be closer to the enlightened one( the religion founder- Prince Siddharta Guatuam- discovered religion in 520 BC). This religion and Hinduism have more than one similarity, in which the most important is their major belief in Reincarnation(rebirth of the soul/ soul goes into another body) and they were both found in South Asia region. Hinduism enforces that completing your dhrama (religious duties) will give you good karma( the result of your actions), and have a sacred text named The Holy Vedas . They praise in a Hindu temple and Buddhist, in a Vihara. Hinduism believes that the more you complete your dhrama the higher you "level up" on your social classes status; and the more up you travel on the social class, the closer you will be to being a priest or a king. The religion follows the Caste System and they claim that they lowest rank cannot move up social classes. You're Welcome!
