Custom: Hinduism is Brahmanism in India. Before becoming a monk, the Buddha was a believer in Brahmanism and had in-depth study and understanding. However, the Buddha did not accept it completely without any choice. Instead, he put forward many new views on Brahmanism with a critical attitude and through his own personal experience of practicing. For example, Hinduism says there is "I" and Buddhism says there is "no me"; Hinduism says "Brahma" is the body of the universe, and Buddhism says that the ontology of the birth and death of each law is empty; Hinduism strictly distinguishes the class system, while Buddhism advocates the equality of all beings; In the later Hindu sects, asceticism or hedonism appeared, while Buddhism advocated "the middle way" as the practice principle. Although they have their own systems in theory, Buddhism and Hinduism have been integrated with each other for more than 2,500 years in India, which has also enriched India's philosophical thinking. Especially when the four surname classes in ancient India converted to Buddhism, and realized the truth, even in central India, Hinduism developed and grew by Buddhism. Obviously, the emergence of Buddhism provided a profound introspection for Hinduism's past and pointed out a broad direction for Hinduism's future. It still has a far-reaching impact.
