hi Twinkie

it is a common misconception Buddhism has roots in Hinduism (Brahmanism). ultimately, Buddhism was the opposite of Hinduism. if Buddhism had roots in Hinduism then Buddha would not be 'Buddha' (self-enlightened) and his title would have no basis or credibility.

in his first sermon, buddha said:

in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge & light

SN 56.11 as for being a moral pathway, Buddhism certainly has a very strong moral pathway but, at it core, Buddhism offers a diagnosis & cure for suffering, which includes the kinds of sufferings morality cannot address

kind regards
