He's a deity. He's called as "Bhagavan" in Buddhist texts, just like Bhagavan Shiva, Bhagavan Vishnu..Buddha aint a deity though. Jesus is.
though some foot kissing is still present
Buddha and Yeshua taught the same in my opinion, it is the religions that were created around them that taught differently.Which is the better Way?
wait really? thought Buddhism and Hinduism were two different thingsHe's a deity. He's called as "Bhagavan" in Buddhist texts, just like Bhagavan Shiva, Bhagavan Vishnu.
They tag team together.so who would win in a fight? Buddha or Jesus?
Man has asked this question since the dawn of time. never fully getting the answer they are looking for...
Which religion is truly the religion of peace?
Which is better. Wine? or Rice? (actually a good question, I like both so...)
Walking on water? or teleporting across the water? (think Buddha did that once, he has way too many abilities)
Which is the better Way? the son of Yahweh? (hehe yah way get it?)
Or founder of the Way? (far older religion)
also, what is that disk thing behind Buddha's head I've seen it before. is it like the disks from Tron is it a weapon? seriously what is it?
And why is Jesus Nordic?
so many questions.
You have Buddhism confused with something else, probably Advaita. First Noble Truth: The Truth of SufferingBuddhism is the religion of "nothing is real, so don't get involved". Technically, a devout Buddhist can say they won't give money to hurricane survivors, because the suffering caused by the hurricane is an illusion.
Jesus, by contrast, taught how trusting Him is a special peace that the rest of the world and its pleasures cannot provide.

Buddha, since he was a warrior when young.
I don't see "vs." Existing in either Buddha or jesus only in people's minds that are not them.Man has asked this question since the dawn of time. never fully getting the answer they are looking for...

Not true.Buddhism is the religion of "nothing is real, so don't get involved". Technically, a devout Buddhist can say they won't give money to hurricane survivors, because the suffering caused by the hurricane is an illusion.
True.What you said about Buddhism is in no way true.

Not true.
True.
If dharma taught "nothing is real", then one could simply not function at all. What it does teach is that our perceptions are just that-- perceptions-- which can be wrong at times because of interference from our attachments. Get rid of the attachments, then our perceptions will likely improve.
First Noble truth is the reality of suffering. You must have studied in a very poor religious course.I earned good grades in my Bachelor's including Buddhism course work. I have presented my conundrum to Buddhists, who--if they are devout in their studies--understand that suffering is an illusion.
Some of what I'm saying is reflected in the low response rate of Buddhist groups, even Buddhist nations, to recent hurricanes and typhoons. My spouse was one of tens of thousands of non-Buddhists, for example, who went to help non-imaginary suffering hundreds of miles from home for a week.
Yes and no, and it's important to know why the difference.I have presented my conundrum to Buddhists, who--if they are devout in their studies--understand that suffering is an illusion.
Pathetic stereotype.Some of what I'm saying is reflected in the low response rate of Buddhist groups, even Buddhist nations, to recent hurricanes and typhoons.
