Maybe the question should be....what are the similarities between Jesus Christ's teaachings and those of the Buddah?
The similarities have been addressed many times before. What I want to know is what exactly are the major differences are. For example, how do the two teaching differ in their understanding of our relationship with a Higher Power and how do they differ in understanding what comes next after we die?

∙ 12y agoNo they are worlds apart, Jesus was God's son and He is the only way Father, for He said: "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me."
Buddha never claimed or said such a thing.

Can you be a christian monk in a Buddhist monastery?
I don't see why a Christian monk would want to. The hours are long, filled with readings and teachings of the Buddha, there is a lot of study and debate over the Buddhas teachings (BTW the Buddha endorsed debating his teachings as a method of both proving him right or wrong and as a method of making his followers actually understanding his teachings through reason and logic, not blind faith). So a Christian monk would not find much teachings or veneration of Jesus in a Buddhist monastery.
