more about the religious practices in India
Hinduism
In the Ancient Indus Valley there lived the peaceful folk who had the religious custom to worship their gods, although different from the Aryan they blended their religions to create a new religion practiced throughout all of India called Hinduism. Hinduism is different for different people.If you are considered kind you would choose a path of love and devotion. If you are wise you follow a path of mental discipline and teaching.In Hinduism key words are karma, reincarnation, and dharma. Karma is the the cycle of Hinduism's life in which if you do a deed bad or good it is returned to so. Karma is what defines your future and dharma. Dharma is the process in which you have to accept your caste and if you fulfill it in the next life you get to move up in caste. This process is called reincarnation in which after you die you are reborn once you have crossed through all the stages then you are free from karma and wickedness this is called moksha. The picture above shows the God's in Hinduism...this is called polytheism.

Deeper into the eight fold path...
The Eight Fold Path
In Buddhism on the path to nirvana you must be proficient in all of the eight aspects which include right views, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.
The Ten Commandments
The ten commandments are not exactly like the eight-fold path because the commandments are commands or laws in which you must complete if you don't you have sinned but in the eight-fold path it is more like things you should try to be better in.
Hammurabi's Code
Hammurabi's code are also more like laws except with mortal consequences such as if you are a noble and you steal you will get your hand cut off.
In the end...
All those vocabulary words in the Hinduism section also have to deal with Buddhism and that gives the hint that Buddhism and Hinduism are very similar, and even though Buddhist are decreasing in India there are still at least 3 million Buddhist and Hinduism is dominating India as well as Christianity.
