To sum up: God is the redeemer of sinners; Buddha is a universal existence.
First, Christianity has God; Buddhism believes in polytheism or godlessness.
All religions have faith, even the lowest religion is sometimes very devout; But the important question is not whether you have faith or not, but who do you believe? Because the gods you worship are different, your life character, thoughts, life and interests are different. For young people, choosing religion carefully is more important than choosing career and marriage. Buddhism is really devout in worship, but unfortunately, it worships many gods. None of those gods are gods. In recent years, new Buddhism has realized that it only worships Sakyamuni, Amitabha and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Unfortunately, none of these three are gods. Guanyin Bodhisattva is still in the practice position, and Amitabha is just one of hundreds of millions of Buddhas. The most distinguished person in Buddhism should push Sakyamuni, but Sakyamuni is not a god. He didn't ask people to worship him as a god. Buddha equals all beings. Everyone can become a Buddha. Buddhism believes that animals can also become buddhas. Thoroughly speaking, there is no god to worship in Buddhism. As a result, the Buddha split the Buddha statue and burned it. I am the Buddha, and I am the tallest in the universe. Poor, but I don't know my own smallness, insignificance, various weaknesses and imbecility. On the other hand, Christianity is not like this. In ancient times, God told mankind through a prophet. Although there are different shadows in different nationalities, the prophets only know a little, but in this last time, God revealed this to the world through his only son Jesus. The only true God in the universe, the Lord, is not only the truth and the original Tao, but also the only true God with supreme strength, wisdom, kindness, holiness, justice and dignity. This is what human beings should worship.
Second, Christianity regards the world as created by God, with a plan and purpose; Buddhism regards the world as a combination of cause and effect, all of which are empty, unplanned and aimless.
Buddhism sees the world of Jambu-di Pa's concubines, and all sufferings are completed by the karma of all sentient beings, so Buddhists can't see the created things, the beauty of nature and the grace created by God. Christians, on the other hand, believe that everything in the world is created by the Father, magnificent and beautiful, and there are abundant treasures in it, which are inexhaustible. If people can open their eyes, no matter how big the universe is and how small the atoms are, the mystery created by God can be seen everywhere. Now we can enjoy the scenery, flowers and birds, music and art, because all these are prepared by the heavenly father for mankind.
Third, Christianity is optimistic about life; Buddhism regards life as painful and troublesome.
Buddhism sees that life has eight hardships, so it is unwilling to be a man in the afterlife; And Christianity, regardless of music, art and science, should study hard. Family, society and the world should all work hard to serve. I think the more I do, the more I can glorify God.
Fourth, there are differences between Christians and animals; Buddhism sees the equality of all beings.
The so-called sentient beings in Buddhism refer to embryos, eggs, moisture and all living things. Buddhism also calls all beings the six divisions of karma. So I dare not eat cows, pigs, chickens and ducks, because I am afraid that my ancestors will be reborn and eat my own ancestors. Even if it is not conceived by your ancestors, you must not eat it. Because all sentient beings in Buddhism are equal, if you kill one sentient being, you will be killed as cattle, pigs, chickens and ducks in the afterlife to repay karma. So some people buy fish and throw them into the river for release, and buy pigs and cows to send them to the temple for old-age care. Christian advocate; There is a big difference between man and beast. When God created everything, only man had the image (character) of God. Only people have the aura of God. All other creatures have only soul and flesh and blood. Buddhists often criticize Christianity for its narrow love, which only loves people and does not love animals. Actually, it is not. It should be said that Buddhist love is incorrect, paying too much attention to animals and ignoring the particularity of lovers.
5. Christianity persuades people to believe in Jesus, with the starting point of atonement and salvation; Buddhism persuades people to believe in Buddhism and practice, and the starting point is to get pleasure from suffering. Buddhists become monks, or fast to read Buddha and collect merits. The reason is to get happiness from suffering.
Repair the afterlife, or plan to live in the west. The starting point is not a question of sin, but a question of suffering. This is different from Christianity. Christianity makes people think of sin first, but it doesn't have to be free from suffering. It is even willing to bear hardships, bear the cross, love others and serve others in family and society.
Sixth, Christianity has salvation; Buddhism stresses cause and effect.
This is the biggest difference between the two religions. Sakyamuni Buddha is just a leader and mentor, teaching people to get happiness from suffering and teaching people their own practice methods. He didn't say: I can take the blame for all living things, as long as I believe, I will be saved. Jesus is not like this. The Bible clearly says: My precious blood is shed for your sins, so that they can be forgiven. People who believe will have eternal life.
7. Whether Christianity is immortal; The destination of Buddhism is nirvana.
The purpose of Buddhist practice is to care about the Eight Nirvana. Nirvana Sanskrit, which means silence, is an elusive term. After entering nirvana, am I still there? I have asked many wizards, and the answers are different. Some say I still exist, others say there is absolutely no me at that time. If a drop of water falls into the sea, is there still a drop? Some people say that a drop of water belongs to the sea, and its dripping phase is unavailable, but it still exists in many waters and has not been eliminated. There is even an ambiguous answer: yes, no, it exists because Nirvana does not live or die, does not increase or decrease, is not dirty or clean, and returns to the reality of dharma. Non-existence is legal and empty. Buddhism says: there is no realm. Christianity has a fairly exact answer to this question, that is, it definitely says that there is eternal life. Immortality Greek originally meant that spiritual life belongs to the life of God. This life can be obtained while people are alive, if people can really repent and be born again.
