the differences between buddhism and hinduism? Well for starters Hinduism is based on polytheism or the belief in many gods

Also, Hindus perform rituals called &quotujas" or "vrathas"

Hinduism is based on polytheism


but you just said that both hindus and buddhists believe in the same devas. they are both polytheism then right?

i must seek up what those rituals are if i want to discus furter on that. but i don't have the time and care at the moment to do so. maybe after i wake up tomorrow =)

I never said the same Vedas, Hindus look to the Vedas as gods, Buddhists merely as angels who will help devotees
