Re: Hinduism verses Buddhism
I think the introduction on CR World religions is quite a good starting point.
http://www.comparative-religion.com/buddhism/ and http://www.comparative-religion.com/hinduism/ Peace |

Re: Hinduism verses Buddhism
Hello Learner,
Welcome to CR. If it'll help, I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago. The thread is over in Eastern Thought; Buddhism; called 'infinity, the cycle of suffering, and the present'. |

Re: Hinduism verses Buddhism
I have tried to explain this to my friends before and I find it useful to draw a similarity with Judaism and Christianity.
Jesus was born a Jew and at some point turned around to the other Jews and said, "Well, you guys are close, but you've made a couple of mistakes, let me tell you how it really is...." Gautama was born a hindu, but eventually figured out that everyone else had it a bit wrong and told 'em how its s'posed ta be. |
