The teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism are both similar and different at the same time. Buddhism has its roots in Hinduism. When I think about Hinduism, I instantly think about China. I was glad that it was included in our lessons, and I learned that it was rooted in India. One thing that interests me this week is that Buddhism does not consider that enlightenment or being liberated is not linked to divine doings. They recognize the gods’ existence but do not depend on them for enlightenment that there is something more important beyond these gods.
