How are the moral codes of Buddhism and Confucianism similar?

please i really need help and also one more thing are the origins of Buddhism and Confucianism the same?|||Buddhism originated in India with Gautama. Confucianism originated in China with Confucius.





To be honest, I don't know much about the similarities: my studies focused mostly on the differences.





Buddhism has a strong spiritual aspect, involving belief in multiple realms of existence, and reincarnation into those realms. When you become enlightened, you break free of the cycle of reincarnation, and reach Nirvana.





Confucianism is more an ideology than a religion, as it doesn't really involve spiritual beliefs. It has a strong focus on filial piety and one's obligations to society, whereas Buddhism has a strong focus on the self.
