In Buddhism there is no notion of salvation, as in the Christian sense. For Buddhists our goal is Nirvana, a state in which we see things as they really are, without putting our own concepts and spins on things. In which we can be truly happy and content.
Second answer
Pure Land Buddhism is full of deities that are prayed to as saviors. It is believed concentrating on their name will save you from harm and will reserve you a spot in paradise.

Buddhists don't do these things. As:
- There is no deity
- Nirvana (the closest thing in Buddhism to the Christians Heaen is a state of no separate identity
- There are no sins to forgive
- There is no one to forgive sins, escape from the cycle of re-birth and death is up to you
- There is no judgment day
- There is no death until you are enlightened, then it is an escape from re-birth
- There is no Jesus, except in a comparative religions sense

∙ 10y agoThere is no saviour in Buddhism, there is simply the law of cause and effect. The Buddha(s) teach and illustrate this basic truth. What happens to us is as a result of what we think, say and do; heaven or hell.

Enlightened people understand the actual workings of the universe; which includes how our perceptions and mind color all actions of body, speech and mind; how we are all interconnected, how our actions ripple throughout space and time, etc. Therefore enlighten beings treat everyone with kindness and compassion, knowing that any one persons suffering affects us all and that we all suffer the same problems, just at different times of our lives (we all get sick, we all die, etc).
So there is no need for salvation in Buddhism.
