According to the Vedanta, sin is nothing but error, and we make errors due to ignorance.
Buddha was more interested in making sure that everyone reached enlightenment and wisdom ,so that ignorance,which is the original cause of sin or error, will be wiped out.
Remove the cause, which is ignorance, and its effect, which is sin or error will be automatically removed.
