Is Buddha an avatar of Vishnu?
That makes sense. Can you tell me about the role of Vishnu in Hinduism?
Sure! Vishnu is one of the three major deities in Hinduism, along with Brahma and Shiva. He is known as the preserver of the universe and is often depicted holding a conch shell, a discus, a mace, and a lotus. He is also associated with several avatars, including Rama and Krishna in addition to Buddha. In Hinduism, devotees worship Vishnu as a source of compassion and protection.
