How do you compare and contrast Hinduism and Buddhism?
Buddhism and Hinduism are alike in many ways, one of which is the fact that they are both polytheistic. Some of the key Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist religion are Manjushri (Bodhisattvas of Wisdom) and Avalokiteshvara (Bodhisattvas of Compassion). Similarly, in Hindu Polytheism there are three major deities: Vishnu (God of Order), Shiva (God of Destruction and Reproduction), and Maha-Devi (The Great Goddess)

About Buddhism
Buddhism is a religion and philosophy developed in Northeastern India sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BC. It is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha. Two major branches of Buddhism have developed - Theravada and Mahayana - that have spread across much of Asia and, in recent years, across much of the world. According to estimates, there are between 350 - 500 million adherents to forms of Buddhism across the world.
