Two of the most prominent belief systems in the world are Buddhism and Hinduism. There are many similarities between them, but also interesting and distinct differences.

Both Hinduism and Buddhism originate in India, where they have since survived side by side. They share a belief of reincarnation, where your soul encounters a cycle of multiple lifetimes, broken only once a spiritual peak is reached.
Other similarities between the two religions include: practicing non-attachment, performing meditation, and believing that all souls eventually attain enlightenment.
