gahu goro, Well in todays terms Buddhism and Hinduism are different. You are rite on that but if you look at Buddha we are talking about than the history needs do be dug deep. But buddhism these days are loosely defined as being started from the budhha from lumbini. Buddhism has other roots , do some research on it. Actually there is one in Minneapolis Art institute where there is a good deal of scripture about Bodhi satva from as early as 4th century b.c. From some of my research the, the buddha from lumbini has been associated as being the decendants of the chinese budhhas. The route has definitely changed in terms of todays beliefs about buddha. But i have found some different facts. But i am not surprised. Its just like some people believe that Evangelicals are not catholics. Its a diversion.
