Best Answer

Some writers suggest that as Buddhism precedes Christianity by 500 years there may have been some impact on the philosophies presented in the Christian teachings from Buddhist missionaries and information conveyed along trade routes. Examples of this would be the "Golden Rule".

These are also significant commonalities in the stories of the Buddha and the Christ including the miracles around the mother's pregnancy, the title of prince, the suffering in the wilderness, and the use of parable in teaching.

The role of a deity in Christianity is a major difference.
