Answer:

Buddha denounced the caste system and taught that a person's actions are the measure of who a person is, whether a priest or outcast. He denounced the authority of Brahmin priests, their scripture and their rituals. He welcomed outcasts and some of the greatest tantric adepts were from the lowest caste
