What is one way that Buddhism differs from Hinduism?

A. Buddhism has teachers and spiritual practices.

B. Buddhism rejects a caste system and focuses on meditation.

C. Buddhism teaches that a person’s actions have consequences for spiritual development.

D. Buddhism recognizes that people are all interconnected.

Historically, Hinduism has not been a universal religion, on the contrary, it is the national religion of the people of India. Therefore it has structured Indian society in a caste system for millennia. Unlike Hinduism, Buddhism, which started as a branch of Hinduism in the 5th century BCE, is a universal religion open to everyone who wants to practice it. In this sense, Buddhism has always rejected the caste system, that is a central aspect of Hinduism, and focuses on meditation and spiritual practices in order to end human suffering and achieve an ultimate state of inner peace known as Nirvana.
