Compare and contrast Buddism and Hinduism. Why are these two faiths often grouped together as dharmic faiths?

Answer:

Hinduism and Buddhism both originated in South Asia and include ideas such as dharma, karma, rebirth, and liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Hinduism is a diverse tradition that often teaches about Brahman, gods, and an enduring self. Buddhism is based on the Buddha’s teachings, including the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path, and teaches that there is no permanent self. They are grouped as dharmic faiths because they arose in the same broad region and share concepts about dharma, karma, and liberation.
