Gautam Buddha was 10th Avatar of Lord Vishnu
In India Buddhism is considered as a part of Hinduism and there is no discrimination against its followers. Hindus do visit the Buddhist temple with same faith as their own temple. Basically there is no ideological difference between the two.
The Dharma religions of India some way or the other are inspired by the Vedic texts, Hinduism Sikhism Jainism Buddhism share a lot of things
Dragon is our ancient symbol, we do take it as a spiritual strength, not actually believe it exists.
And what about rat, monkey, buffalo after which you name your birth years.. \you don't believe in all that bull$hit too..
And Fuxi and Nuwa, do you not believe in them?
Are they not considered the starters of Chinese Hans??
I have a genuine question.
Some people here are saying that Buddhism is part of Hinduism, then others have said that that Buddha himself preached his religion, as well as monks and what not. Then someone said that Hinduism does not have missionaries or seeks convert.
One of those statements cannot be true.
Which is it?
If Hinduism does not seek converts then you cannot say Buddhism is part of Hinduism.
If Buddhism is part of Hinduism then that means that Hindus do indeed seek converts
Also, if Hindus are content with being in India then how did Hinduism spread to South East Asia?
Obviously someone had to go there and inform those people about your religion.
It's all so confusing to an outsider.

no, those are folk stories. Most Chinese regard them as entertaining stories, but no. We don't believe that we descended from Snake people.
lol.
Religion in China is something of a side hobby for most people. East Asians in general don't take religion all that seriously. It's not in the culture.

According to jbond197 (baba jee), you can be atheist and Hindu at the same time. Confusing as sheet.
Does it happen? Sure. Is it allowed in Hindu villages? Nope.
