I have been set this 40 mark essay:
'The teachings of the Buddha were largely based on ideas that were already current in his society.' Discuss.
I do not have any ideas on how his teachings were based on current ideas in his society or how they were not based on current ideas in his society.
Can anybody help me with a few ideas on what to write about, please?

Buddhism is kind of an offshoot/adaptation of Hinduism, which had been India's main faith system for a very long time before Buddhism was conceived. So perhaps you should research what were considered the main/most important tenets of Hinduism in the popular consensus at the time when Buddhism was emerging.

Aside from that we have mostly differences, especially in early Buddhism: little emphasis on caste; comparatively little emphasis on ritual; differing cosmologies; rejection of the Vedas; different soteriology; rejection of brahman and atman.
