Question

Buddism when you die you reapet like over and over and Hindhism is the same thing wat is the difference

wat I mean to say is Buddhism is when you die you repeat life over and over again and Hindhism is the same thing wat is the difference

Answer 1

i understand your confusion, but it's rather simple. Buddhism emerged from Hinduism, so many practices and teachings are similar. And also, many are totally different. but that's another story. They share reincarnation, as you mention. And don't be surprised, early christian ism did also.

You're wrong when you say that according to both you die and repeat over and over.
You are reborn to live another life, in other circumstances, so that you reach enlightenment. When you reach enlightenment, that is, when you become wise and aware of the complexities in the world and within you, and when you are at peace, you dis attach yourself from the physical world. So, then the path is over, and you have reached nirvana.

Answer 2

Hinduism is a religion with many gods, Buddhism has no gods. Hinduism believes in a rigid Reincarnation schedule with karma (or good and bad "points" you earn through your life) deciding if you are reincarnated to a lower form, the same form, or a higher form. Hinduism is a religion of eternal reincarnation. Buddhism rejects reincarnation. Karma is a part of Buddhism, but it's not a method of judgment, it's the use of the moral energy a person has.

For reincarnation to exist, a soul that is eternal and doesn't change must also exist. To Buddhists, the soul is constantly changing, like everything else in the universe does. It may be a slow change, or a fast one, depending on the person. To the Hindu, the soul is unchanging and eternal.

Buddhism does have levels of "being" that are often thought of as incarnations, but a Buddhist moves through these levels during life, not once each death. Buddhism mostly doesn't try to really answer what happens after someone dies. They say the karma remains, or the person's deeds, energy, or work, but not that the person returns.

Buddhism is sometimes confused with Hinduism because the Buddha grew up in a Hindu world and only developed the Buddhist philosophy years after he'd rejected Hinduism.

Answer 3

It's easy to get these two belief systems confused, since Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) was born in the Brahmin caste India and originally practiced Hinduism. So, Buddhism is influenced by Hindu beliefs and practices, accepting some and rejecting others.

I will address your central question regarding reincarnation.

Both systems share the belief in the Wheel of Samasara (the endless cycle of birth-death-reincarnation) and both consider liberation from this cycle the ultimate goal of earthly existence. Both believe that eventually all living spirits will achieve enlightenment and liberation, even if it takes many incarnations.

A distinct difference between Hinduism and Buddhism is that Buddhists reject the idea that the gods are responsible for the phenomenon (reincarnation).

Hindus believe that the life one lives influences the individual's karma and determines which caste he/she will be born into in the next life, and they also believe that only the brahmins could achieve moksha (liberation/release); Buddhists reject the caste system and the notion that karma is earned by following the dharma of your caste, and they believe that anyone can achieve nirvana (spiritual enlightenment that releases one from the Wheel) .

These two faiths also disagree with regard to the concept of a soul/a self. Buddhists do not believe that that there is a permanent and unchanging soul/self to reincarnate and have developed complex metaphysical explanations for the temporary states of ego to explain rebirth.

Hope that helps to clarify the differences a bit.

Answer 4

Buddhism is an outgrowth of Hinduism, much in the same way that Christianity is an outgrowth of Judaism.

Hinduism is a pantheistic religion, while Buddhism is a polytheistic religion.

Buddhism, or course, was founded by the Buddha(who was Hindu), whereas Hinduism does not have a particular founder.

Answer 5

Buddhism also known as Buddha Dharma, meaning approximately Law of the Awakened One) it is a religion, a practical philosophy, teachings of the Buddha Śākyamuni (Siddhārtha Gautama).

Hinduism is heterogeneous, as Hinduism consists of several schools of thought. It encompasses many religious rituals that widely vary in practice, as well as many diverse sects and philosophies.

In short, not much different.
There no plan for salvation, no plan for a saviour.
Sins done now, will be repaid, in hell or the next life.
So go on sinning, you end in Hell.
Do good, for a "Man", u become buddhalike or merge with Vishnu
Do good , for a "Woman", next life you will be born as a Man.

6 Wheel of cycle. From Deva, to Gods, Human, Animals, Demon, Hells. Choose one.

And if you are Deva, there 33 heaven, heaven outside heaven, Heaven of desire, of illusion, of bliss and outer heaven, inner heaven and finally Nivana ( where Buddha Is )

Gods, there are just 33 heaven. Where the ruler is Jade King ( Hindu is " Indra " ) and various gods.

Human... that where you are now. Choose your Race.

Animals.... that what you eat on your table. Choose one.

Ghost. Have you seen any Ghost around you, other than the one in the White House.

Hells... Forget about next life. For eons, that where you will be grill.

That the whole thing about them... funny people who worship nature and cause and effect.

Answer 6

Difference between Hinduism & Buddhism is like Ocean and River.Ocean is the source of the water in River.Hinduism is Source of Budhism. Why this different Religion was required?
At the time of Goutam Budhha, Vedanta philosophy was difficult to understand to common people as it talks about something beyond experience of Senses & requires a very evolved mind to get there. Advaita philosophy is said to be last step to Realise True Nature.So in such circumstances some one need to tell basic's to common people rather than Advanced teaching which prepares a base for Vedanta . So It can be said that to make people aware of basic's and to prepare them for further Evolution of mind, Budhism came into existance & Budhha became the instrument for raising Awareness of people about Who you are? So that base is prepared for next step which points to something beyond senses as SatChidAnnanda- Infinite Truth-Existance Bliss.

Answer 7
