Compare Hinduism’s beliefs with Buddhism’s
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Brahman, the universal soul, is at Hinduism’s center; however, Hinduism has no single body of doctrine, nor any standard set of practices. It is defined above all by the diversity of its beliefs and deities. Its foundational texts, the Upanishads, a book of mystical and philosophical texts, and the Vedas, a collection of hymns, argue that what appears to the senses is entirely illusory; only Brahman is real. The individual soul needs to discover this truth, which will free it from the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth and unite it with the Brahman in nirvana, a place or state free from worry and pain.
2. Buddhism, an outgrowth of Hinduism, differs from Hinduism in its explicit rejection of the material world: Buddha believed the desire for material things to be the source of all human suffering and the primary form of ignorance. Living with Four Noble Truths in mind would allow one to overcome this desire:
Life is suffering.
This suffering has a cause, which is ignorance.
Ignorance can be overcome and eliminated.
The way to overcome this ignorance is by following the Eightfold Path of right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.
