Detailed explanation-1: -The main similarity between Buddhism (Mahayana) and Hinduism is that both believe in the ideology of idol worship. They also believe in the philosophy of karma and reincarnation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Buddhism and Hinduism agree on karma, dharma, moksha and reincarnation. They are different in that Buddhism rejects the priests of Hinduism, the formal rituals, and the caste system. Buddha urged people to seek enlightenment through meditation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Yet, while karma is in theory specific to each individual, many aspects of Indian religions reflect the widely held belief that karma may be shared. For example, the doctrine of the transfer of merit, whereby one person can transfer his good karma to another, is found in both Buddhism and Hinduism.
