It's not true... Because "Siddharta Gautama" was a prince in a kingdom near the present day border of India and Nepal... Upon his enlightenment, his followers began to call him Buddha, which means, "Enlightened One"...

welshfella · Answer

I dont think thats true because hinduism has multiple gods and goddesses while buddhism has only one.

Buddha was a Hindu prince before founding his own path to enlightenment. For westerners I’ll often say that the relationship between the two is like the relationship between Judaism and Christianity in some ways. Christianity was inspired by the life of a Jew and Buddhism was inspired by the life of a Hindu (though the Buddha rejected Hinduism and did not find it to be the right path for himself).
