Hindu Philosophy vs Buddhist Philosophy

   Perhaps I can save you time and data. The discussion is philosophical in the sense that it will not help you decide between a Chevrolet Equinox and a Pontiac Solstice.  It observes that Buddhism is often more fatalistic than Hinduism, which you probably already knew.  Hinduism accepts the existence of forces, conditions or entities that do not change.

   The speaker says that some people try to reconcile the difference by variously interpreting scriptures.

   My own opinion of Buddhism is that it can help people escape the confusion of semantics, otherwise it is not helpful.
