Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jains and Buddhists both rejected the caste system, which was a fundamental part of Hinduism. They believed in equality and treating all beings with respect and compassion. While Jains believed in the concept of reincarnation, Buddhists had a more complex understanding of it and did not necessarily believe in the existence of a permanent soul. Both religions emphasized the importance of attaining enlightenment or liberation (moksha or nirvana) but had different paths and techniques for achieving it. Neither religion believed in a single god, and instead, focused on individual responsibility and self-improvement.
