Agama Buddha dan Hindumemiliki asal mula yang sama dalam budayaGanggadiIndia utaraselama apa yang disebut"urbanisasi kedua"sekitar tahun 500 SM.[1]Mereka telah berbagi kepercayaan sejalan yang telah ada saling berdampingan, tetapi juga menjabarkan perbedaan-perbedaan.[2]

Agama Buddha mencapai puncaknya dianak benua Indiakarena didukung oleh istana kerajaan, tetapi mulai merosot setelahera Guptadanhampir menghilang dari Indiapada abad ke-12 M,[3][4]kecuali di beberapa daerah kantong kecil terisolasi di India yang masih bertahan hingga abad ke-15 M.[5]

Upanisad

Ajaran Buddhis tertentu tampaknya telah dirumuskan sebagai tanggapan terhadap gagasan-gagasan yang disajikan dalamUpanisadawal, dalam beberapa hal sependapat dengannya, dan dalam hal-hal lainnya mengkritik atau menafsirkannya kembali.[6][7][8]

Pengaruh Upanisad, kitab-kitab filosofis Hindu yang paling awal terhadap agama Buddha telah menjadi bahan perdebatan di kalangan para sarjana. MeskipunRadhakrishnan,Oldenberg,danNeumannyakin akan pengaruh Upanisad pada kanon Buddhis,EliotdanThomasmenyoroti poin-poin yang ditentang agama Buddha dari Upanisad.[9]

Agama Buddha mungkin dipengaruhi oleh beberapa gagasan Upanisad, namun mengabaikan kecenderungan ortodoks mereka.[10]Dalam kitab-kitab Buddhis, dia dijabarkan menolak jalan keselamatan sebagai "pandangan salah".[11]Aliran-aliran pemikiran religius India kemudian dipengaruhi oleh penafsiran dan gagasan-gagasan baru dari tradisi kepercayaan Buddhis ini.[12]

Dukungan kerajaan

Pada tahun-tahun berikutnya, ada bukti signifikan bahwa agama Buddha dan Hindu didukung oleh para penguasa India, terlepas dari identitas keagamaan para penguasa itu sendiri. Raja-raja Buddhis terus menghormati dewa-dewa dan guru-guru Hindu dan banyak kuil Buddhis dibangun di bawah sokongan para penguasa Hindu.[13]Hal ini karena agama Buddha tidak pernah dianggap sebagai sebuah agama asing dengan agama Hindu di India tetapi hanya sebagai salah satu dari banyak aliran agama Hindu. KaryaKālidāsamenunjukkan bangkitnya agama Hindu dengan mengorbankan agama Buddha.[14]Pada abad kedelapan,SiwadanWisnutelah menggantikanBuddhadalampujakerajaan.[15][16][17]

Kosakata dasar

Sang Buddha menyetujui banyak istilah yang telah digunakan dalam diskusi filosofis pada masanya; namun, banyak dari istilah-istilah ini memiliki makna berbeda dalam tradisi Buddhis. Sebagai contoh, dalamSamaññaphala Sutta,Sang Buddha digambarkan memberikan pengertian tentang"tiga pengetahuan" (tevijja)—sebuah istilah yang juga digunakan dalam tradisiWedauntuk menggambarkan pengetahuanWeda—sebagai bukan teks, sebagai bukan teks, tetapi hal-hal yang dia alami.[18]"Tiga pengetahuan" yang hakiki dikatakan didasari oleh proses mencapai pencerahan, yang merupakan apa yang dikatakan telah dicapai Buddha dalam tiga jam jaga pada malam pencerahannya.[19]

The Buddha was replaced as the supreme, imperial deity by one of the Hindu gods (except under the Palas of eastern India, the Buddha's homeland)...Previously the Buddha had been accorded imperial-style worship (puja).
