    Introduction Between the two religions it is clear that the purpose of life and the religion itself vary between the two religions. The real difference between Hinduism and Buddhism is that, the Hinduism look at supreme forces such as God, as a collection of natural forces while Buddhism saw Reality as becoming a being that will be supreme. Buddha was strong on his teachings of impermanence, for the anatman (no spirit). Yet the atman can similarly be present in Buddhism as both strategies envision humans as having a soul. Therefore as a whole the quest that was religious Hindus is to start the search for the soul and Brahman.…
