Personally, I think the reason behind this (not talking about God) is because Buddha is like saying: Before talking about God, you must be prepared and stable and find yourself or, better, you don't need to talk about God, you have to find him and the shortest and safest path is within you. I think this can be useful for anyone who approaches Buddhism.
I can't say that Buddhism is modern. It evolved along with yoga, and both date back to around the 4th century to. C. Tibetan Buddhism has its own version of yoga called Trul Khor.
Therefore, to answer your question, they all belong to the same family, the Dharmic family, and they have influenced each other. It was an ascetic movement whose followers were striving to find liberation from this world and from the cycle of rebirths on their own and apart from the Vedico-Brahmanic religion of sacrifice. The first literary witnesses of this movement are certain Upaniá¹£ads, some of whom were also taught to the Buddha by the two teachers mentioned in the canon. One of the most important literary witnesses is the Sämañña-Phalasutta of the Pali canon.
Much, in reality, most of the philosophical basis of Buddhism was the common sense of this movement. Even a fully Buddhist doctrine such as Pratityasamutpada springs from this common source, as evidenced by the parallel structures (much less important and much less developed) in the Jaina canon and in the Manu-bá¹haspati-saá¹väda in the Mahabharata epic. Now, to answer the question, apart from the person of Buddha, there is only one thing in the IMO that highlights Buddhism as a movement proper to the common ground of the Åramaá¹as, and that is precisely the theory of Anattä or Anätman. Until the Mahayanic revolution, each and every philosophical development in Buddhism is already foreshadowed by this theory, and these developments can be seen quite consistently as an understanding of the hidden implications of that single principle.
This makes yoga younger than Buddhism. Well, this was for the time when Buddhism first developed. Until the time when Buddhism almost completely disappeared from the scene in India, there were, of course, diverse influences to and from Buddhism, as noted in other responses. Thank you for raising such an important topic that helped me express.
I look forward to continuing to discuss the points I have mentioned. We cannot find the truth by studying and making comparisons between the so-called scriptures of different theories experienced in time, we have to experience our own doubts with a humble and gentle self-precipitation, which needs a very innocent and self-ignited mind, as an individual entity. But what I want to put here is that Hinduism, which is later than Buddhism, will surely be influenced by it, which is why we see similarities between Buddhism and Hinduism. The only contribution of Hinduism is that it has a lot of mythological stories, a lot of God.
But when it comes to moral, philosophy that Hinduism teaches is something similar to Buddhism, I can go so far as to say that, because Hinduism copied many of them, that is why gradually Buddhism declined in India. even the name of Buddha is forgotten in India, ask the villager in India who is Hanuman and they will answer easily. Ask him who Buddha is and they have no idea, but if there were no Buddhism, Hinduism will not exist as a philosophy. Yoga asana can be very harmful to Buddhist practice because yoga asana can distort the way the body breathes naturally (which will actually make it difficult to develop correct samadhi).
As they sat there, vagrants of other tendencies told them: “Friends, Gotama, the contemplative, describes the understanding of sensuality.”. We also describe the understanding of sensuality. Describe the understanding of shapes. We also describe the understanding of forms.
Describe understanding feelings. We also describe understanding feelings. So what is the difference, what is the difference, what is the factor that distinguishes between him and us in terms of his teaching and ours, his message and ours?. Maha-dukkhakkhandha Sutta Not common Creatives originated and are not left behind as such.
Buddha does not accept reincarnation because he denied the presence of the eternal soul. The core of the human being is not a soul but the mind. The mind and body are undergoing constant change and that is why rebirth also happens moment by moment. Reincarnation and rebirth are different if you try to understand in depth.
Jainism Doesn't Begin After Mahavira Jain and Buddhism Doesn't Begin After Siddhartha Buddha. There were several Buddhas before Siddhartha Buddha. Buddha did not hide anything about God. According to him, God doesn't exist.
The theory of karma is part of Buddhism and is not mentioned in the Vedas. The Bhagwat Geeta is copied from the Buddhist text and the Bhagwat Geeta is not even part of the Original Mahabharata that has Krishna in that. In addition, Ramayana and Mahabharata are taught as Indian mythology and are based on fiction. For more information, see our tips on how to write great answers.

The vows made by Buddhist monks and those made by monks and sadhus in the tradition of Yoga are the same, as are those of Jain monks. Yoga, as practiced today in the West, certainly differs from the yogic practices of ancient India. The Supreme Court of the country of his birth, India, will soon give an answer to the question of whether yoga is really a religious activity.
Dattatreyayogasastra has some concise things to say about religious figureheads in “ochre robes who claim to be great yogis, although they lack practice, faith and wisdom”, men like that do not practice yoga, but achieve their ends only with words, one should avoid those who wear religious attire. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise because, as Andrea Jain, a yoga scholar and professor at Indiana University, has said, “Yoga has never belonged to any religion. Although the term hatha is often translated as “strength,” hatha yoga is generally associated in the West with a gentle, traditionalist approach to yoga postures, unlike more athletic Western varieties. However, several Buddhist traditions, particularly traditions outside India, such as the Chan and Zen traditions of China, have used terms such as one's own mind, the original nature of one's consciousness, or one's original face, which are similar to the Self of Vedanta.
It is known that the 6th century philosopher Vedanta Gaudapada adopted elements of Buddhist philosophy from the Madhyamaka and Yogacara traditions. Theism occurs in the various teachings of Yoga-Vedanta, although it is often subordinated to the Self-Absolute, which even transcends the Creator. In the classical Astanga yoga system, the ultimate goal of yoga is to achieve samadhi and stay in that state as pure consciousness. On its website, a testimony from Rabbi David Rosen, Ireland's former chief rabbi, says that yoga offers a lot of blessing and enlightenment and arguably helps recapture Jewish wisdom and practice that may have been lost.
I admit that it is not customary to think of Buddhism and Jainism as forms of yoga, but this is precisely what these spiritual cultures consecrated by time are. . .
