Christianity means following the teachings of Jesus. Buddhism means following the teachings of the Buddha. These teachings are similar in many ways--showing compassion, performing acts of charity, doing missionary work, but specific practices and beliefs can differ.
One major difference if that the teaching of the Buddha points to a path or a way. Jesus says I am the way.
Buddha also does not claim to be God or a god. Jesus claims to be the almighty and eternal creator.
Buddha did not die for the salvation of people, they do it themselves by their own efforts. Jesus' death is specifically an atoning death since Christianity teaches we cannot save ourselves.
Christianity also teaches there is but one life and after that the judgment. Buddhism talks about a potentially endless cycle of death and rebirth.
