Explanation:
Buddhism became the most popular religion not only in India but in entire Asia. It has been upheld by many scholars that Buddha was not an originator of a new religion but a reformer of the Hindu religion. They contend, as all scholars now admit, that the basic doctrine of Buddhism sprang from the pre-existing Hindu philosophy of the Sankhya system and the later Upanishads.
Thus, so far as the original philosophy of Buddhism is concerned there is hardly any break of continuity between Buddha and the Hindu sages who had preceded him. Nor did Buddha lay down a special ritual for his followers. Even the rules of monastic discipline left by him are but a few, simple and undefined. The rules of morality preached by Buddha were also not new.
