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?
Theravada and Mahayana. Thereaveda is called the "teachings of the Elders" and is the most closest to the original teachings of the Buddha. Mahayana incorporates teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas into the Buddhas teachings.
Matthew and Mark are similar in their portrayal of Jesus' life and teachings because they both focus on his actions and teachings rather than his background or personal life. They both emphasize Jesus' miracles, parables, and teachings on love, forgiveness, and salvation. Additionally, both Gospels highlight Jesus' role as the Son of God and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
Yes, Buddha's first sermon was at Sarnath.
The teachings of Jesus were similar to Judaism in their emphasis on love, compassion, and ethical behavior. However, Jesus also introduced new ideas, such as the concept of forgiveness and salvation through faith in him as the Son of God, which were different from traditional Jewish beliefs.

There are really only 2 distinct types of Buddhism, though there are subgroups to them. The two major groups are Theravada and Mahayana. Theravada is call the "teachings of the Elders" and is most closest to the original teachings of the Buddha. Mahayana incorporates teachings of later Buddhas and Bodisatvas into the Buddhas original teachings. All the differnt lineages of Buddhism fall within one of these two groups but all teachings agree as to what the Buddha taught and to what the objective of Buddhism is.
The teachings of Jesus ARE Christ's message because he was Jesus Christ. Christ and Jesus are the same person.
Jesus sent his disciples out to spread his teachings to all nations.
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.
Buddha's teachings allow each one of us to take control of our future through an understanding of the laws of cause and effect.
