Much of Buddhism was chanted by Hindus and others for centuries,
becoming a distinct set of teachings, then written down as traditions
changed/cultures intermixed, then translated many times, exported,
re-translated/re-imagined By Bon Mystics and Taoists and Shintoists and
Jews and Christians...
Some use this sort of information for outright negation, others to
understand the more colorful forms of expression and more easily see
through them.

As I say in response to another post No One who wrote anything in
the Bible was physically present when Jesus said anything. Everything
that is recorded was passed by word of mouth for generations. It is
recorded that as a 12 year old Yeshua ben David argued scripture with
the Rabbis. An intriguing idea is that the name Jesus comes from the
name Yahzeus or Son of Zeus or a combination of YHWH and Zeus.
Bringing together Judeo and Greco mythologies. Which goes back to the
idea that much of the New Testament was written by Greeks.
