Default Hinduism/Buddhism:what is the reason of this difference?

Indian mysticism---------aimed at conquering psychic forces(soul,spirit,mind etc) and resulted in occultism,yoga and health.

Chinese mysticism-----aimed at conquering natural elements(air,water,fire,dust etc) and resulted in martial arts and sports.

I respect both Buddhism and religion, In Hinduism people believe in certain deities to help them.It concentrates on faith.

Buddhism, is a religion based on principals which you could follow if you only want to. You can have faith in it or not. Actually it is not a religion saying "Do this" "Do that" it is a form of guidance that will help you to end being born into this misery of a world.

Modern Hinduism has its root in Buddhism. Buddhism had problems with the medic religion. The Brahmin's took over the Vedas and created caste system and performed animal sacrifices. Buddha came and stopped all this stuff. Later on around 6Th century Hindu revival started and they incorporated many ideas from Buddhism. The concept of "temples" did not exist during medic times nor were statues built. But now we have so many temples with so many gods.

93,

Er, the Indian mysticism created stuff like the Chinese, too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_martial_arts

What you might be forgetting is in many cases the Chinese subjects are influenced by the Indian, especially in the case of Taoism.

So, the reason is: There really isn't one in your criteria. Certian aspects of both have been magnified, as has Hatha Yoga, and Kung-Fu, but both tend to have complimentary/similar limbs.
