Well, Buddhism and Hinduism are two seperate religions. Buddhists don't worship Buddha either, they follow his teachings and philosophy. Also, Buddha was a name used for a highly spiritually educated person...I believe it means "One who Knows"...there were many "Buddhas" throughout history who influenced Buddhism, including the one made famous, Siddartha Guatama, by the (fantasy influenced) movie "The Little Buddha".

According to tradition, Siddhārtha was born more than 200 years before the reign of the Maurya king Aśoka (lived 304–232 BCE).
The birth of Siddharta, (2nd-3rd century).Siddhārtha was born in Lumbini, Nepal, under the full moon of the sixth lunar month, in the spring. His father was Śuddhodana (Pāli Suddhodana), of the Kṣatriya varṇa, was the chief (rājā, or king) of the Śākya nation, one of several ancient tribes on the margins of the growing state of Kośala (Pāli Kosala). His mother was Māyādevī, King Sudhodhana's wife.
The day of the Buddha's birth is widely celebrated in Buddhist countries as Vesak. Gautama was born a prince, destined to a luxurious life, with three palaces. All traditions agree that the Buddha's mother died at his birth or a few days later. During the birth celebrations, the seer Asita announced that this baby would either become a great king (chakravartin) or a great holy man. His father, King Śuddhodana, wishing for Gautama to be a great king, shielded his son from religious teachings or knowledge of human suffering.
While later tradition and legend characterized Śuddhodana as a hereditary monarch, the descendant of the Solar Dynasty of Ikṣvāku (Pāli: Okkāka), many scholars believe that Śuddhodana was the elected chief of a tribal confederacy. Since Siddhārtha belonged to the Śākya clan, he came to be known as Śākyamuni ("sage of the Śākyas"), with "Muni" meaning "sage who is still".

Um, there is documented proof that Buddha existed, he was the son of a king of India. That's pretty hard to miss. We also don't believe in Buddha, we just follow what he taught. Buddhism is not inspired by Hinduism, Buddha thought that they had it all wrong...

If you think Buddha never existed it's cool and if the philosophies attributed to him are all fake, well that's not a problem-I'm still a Buddhist. I follow the path that to me is most logical regardless. I think that's the point you don't grasp-Buddhism is a mere vehicle-a means to an end. Feel free to ridicule it if you like. Ultimately it is as impermanent as everything else in the universe.

Hello =) I see...... Ok....then what think you of Orthodox and Roman Catholics, with their idols, and Icons?? They are representative of beings that they believe to be just as real as Hindus believe their sculpted images to be.... Are Orthodox and Roman Catholics fake and evil as well?? Can their philosophies, or wisdoms protect it?? Are THEY devil worshipers?? Are Their millions of philosophies waste and evil?? What of the Mahayana Buddhists?? They have plenty of statues and deities as well?? Yet they fundamentally root out ALL evil as a core belief?? Or is this more of an attack in the realm of the socio-political, from a Pakistani national towards the Hindu people?? If that were the case, you might have been better of attacking the unfair caste system of the Brahmins, and I think you would have got a lot more sympathy...... The caste system is a rather unfortunate and, from my point of view, wicked idea, but that is merely my opinion. The Hindus don't seem to mind, so why should I?? Addendum: India, a rising menace?? Crawl back under that rock with your minister, you silly monkey, you.........He obviously hasn't sexually abused you nearly enough yet........Keep on following where he leads, and you'll find yourself right behind him in hell, Rocky..... Namaste, --Tom

Um, were you there when Buddha did or did not exist? No.
So, you can't say whether he did or did not live.
If you don't believe he lived, that's fine, but you should at least have some respect for those who look up to him. I am not Buddhist (and obviously neither are you), but that doesn't mean we have the right to degrade their philosophies.

Buddha has nothing to do with Hinduism. Also, what kind of people believe in God? People with faith. The same can be said for those who follow Buddha!

How do you know if Buddha never existed? Did Jesus? Does God? Is religion something that people base on some type of Faith?
The best part about your bashing of Buddha is that none of those followers will care about your opinion...

Did you know God never existed? Did you know Jesus probably never existed?
Did you also know that all religion is like a big horrible fairy tale where people are being killed every day in the name of God??
Didn't you know that?? Oh dear what a shame, still never mind eh??? Lets worry about whether Buddha actually sat under his tree and contemplated, that's far more important isn't it???

Really what proof do you have?????
No one believes you. It has it's own philosophies and are very peaceful.
So I dont think its anyhow fake.
Normal people in believes Buddha. Why do you care???
I've read your other questions too, so stop picking on hinduism and buddhism (there's nothing wrong in them) and mind your own business.
Learn how to respect other people's beliefs even though they are different and contradictory.
