Answer 1

$\huge{Hey Mate!!!}$

☆☞ Here is ur answer ☜☆

☆☞ Buddha was a Hindu monk. He and many others have proposed many systems of spiritual thought. These systems embrace a whole range from atheism to theism to non-theism.

✔✔ Buddha’s non-theistic system became very popular during the 500 BCE to 500 ACE period.

✔✔ That does not mean that Buddha’s system was the only one around. Around the same time as Buddha there was Mahavira who was also proposing the Jaina point of view.

✔✔ The ancient Hindus called these different systems darsanas which means ‘points of view’. There is no doubt that Buddha had a unique point of view (although his followers debated through many conferences to decide what he actually taught).

✔✔ The idea that Buddha taught a new religion is a western idea that was introduced in the 19th century.
