Answer:

It varies as there is no actual evidence of which one was inspired from which but I hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Buddhism and Hinduism have common origins in northern India d They have shared parallel beliefs that have existed side by side, but also pronounced differences. Both these religions respect each other and you can be a hindu and a buddhism.

some similarities they have are...

Mudra: This is a symbolic hand-gesture expressing an emotion. Images of the Buddha almost always depict him performing some mudra.

Dharma Chakra: The Dharma Chakra, which appears on the national flag of India and the flag of the Thai royal family, is a Buddhist symbol that is used by members of both religions.

Rudraksha: These are beads that devotees, usually monks, use for praying.

Tilak: Many Hindu devotees mark their heads with a tilak, which is interpreted as a third eye. A similar mark is one of the characteristic physical characteristics of the Buddha.
