Answer 1

i cant answer all but number 2 Is: Siddhartha was the founder of buddhism. In Hinduism, the reunification of the soul with Brahman is called moksha. Buddhists have the same goal, but it is given the name nirvana. In both Hinduism and Buddhism, the ultimate goal is to end the cycle of reincarnation. The goal of Buddhism is the cessation of suffering. number 3: Both Buddhists and Hindus believe in reincarnation, but the two religions take different approaches. Hindus believe there is a soul, which they call Atman. According to a passage in the Bhagavad Gita, a central Hindu text, the soul changes bodies in the same way that a person changes clothes. 

hope this helps

Answer 2

Buddhism incorporates a variety of rituals and practices, which are intended to aid in the journey to enlightenment and bring blessings on oneself and others. While some activities are unique to certain expressions of Buddhism, there are others that are found in most of the popular forms of the belief system.

For example, the practice of meditation is central to nearly all forms of Buddhism, and it derives directly from the Buddha's experiences and teachings. Meditation is is the central focus of Zen Buddhism and the only way to liberation in Theravada Buddhism.

In addition to meditation, the Mahayana schools of Buddhism have developed a variety of other ritual and devotional practices, many of which were inspired or influenced by the existing religious cultures of India, China, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Tibet.
