Buddhism was created to address many spiritual issues but also many social issues. At the time that Buddhism was created, the main religion was Hinduism, Buddhism was a direct response to many of the issues that people faced because of the cultural climate at the time. At this time there was a lot of social reform in India, and people were challenging the accepted teachings. The creation of Buddhism was meant to be accessible to all people, Hinduism was largely dictated by what Brahmins said and did, the use of a common language for all people opened up his teachings to all people. Siddhartha was a Hindu and felt that Hinduism did not focus on what was really important and instead wasted too much time on insignificant and unimportant questions.
