>One School of Hinduism(Adwaitham=Non-dualism) -that of sri Sanakara Acharya -beleive Brahmam alone exists -Jiva Aathma (seperate Identity of human soul) is an "Illusion"=Maaya
>sri.Sanakra Acharya(Great Teacher) was a brilliant Scholar-Par Excellence(2nd century A.D.)-within a short life span of 32 years he has created so much of Religious Litreature which all Hindu saints put together have not created- each one of them had a life-span of 60 to 80 years.
>I am a follower of sri.Sanakra's school as millions of Hindus.

The reward for following the Buddha's precepts come to us right now as peace of mind, self control and awareness. I don't think of an ultimate reward, that will take care of itself. Can't comment on Hinduism...
