Jesus vs. Buddha

Was Jesus based on the Buddha? Many on the internet seem to think so, and this video addresses this claim.

Buddha was never a god. He himself disagreed of himself being a god

i don’t understand why these two are always compared, they are extremely different

[sarithabeysirigunawardena]

I'm from Sri Lanka and we real Buddhist
There's no point learning about Buddha's biography.only thing he wanted from us was just to practice his teachings and to quit the cycle of birth-death

It's a bit disturbing how you end your "vs" video's with Jesus "wins". It gives the impression as if religions are a competition and that one religion is better than the other. it stimulates conflicts between believers instead of clarify and bring union.

Buddha was one of the greatest preachers but his teachings are so different from the teachings of Jesus.. Buddha or Siddhartha was a Hindu before he attained enlightenment and became who he was. He rejected Hindu ideology and didn't believe in a God. Though Buddhist pray to him but he never claimed to be a God rather he was just a human being with great knowledge.

He who seeks his own happiness not by hurting or killing beings but by purifying oneself; will find happiness and ends all sufferings. .

No need to fight just respect one another

*Buddha never call himself God, he was a great human being and an great teacher 🙏🏾🙏🏾*

U dont have to be buddhist to learn and practice buddhism...
Every single living may practice the teachings. No need to claim to be buddhist. Start with meditation..

Buddhist are not obligated to live in poverty. This claim has no base.

What is with this assertion that everyone was born on December 25? It seems to be on every one of these copycat examples, and I've yet to come across a single time where it's true.

I was waiting for the comments:

Jesus: like
Buddha: comment

But wow :/

[ZlatanIbrahimovic]

lord buddha was born on full moon day in may and he didn't die on a cross. please upload a video after you have learn about buddhism correctly. Don't lie to people.

It is harder for a rich man to come to heaven than to a camel coming through a needle eye

Their lives were totally different, and are incomparable.
Certainly Jesus life is not based on Buddha.

[laurawofford-brown]

Christ Jesus is the way the truth and the life. He is the alpha the omega the beginning and the and. None came before and none will come after.

[donanjaleeirashahettige]

Read what's really in buddhism before you talk about lord buddha. You know nothing about the buddha shakyamuni or His teachings

[Alihdkflc]

Hey, just wanted to say you really inspired me and gave me faith in god, I've been watching all your videos, thanks man.

[sarangi]

I'm a Buddhism..We celebrate Buddha's birthday in
the name this charm festival is *wesak*
But what is December 25 ?... Buddhism is very simple and very easy to understand...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Buddha was born as a normal human being just like us but with a larger brain.
He never said he was a god. He never said anyone that if someone does not believe him, he would go to hell.
He just taught a lots ways of living that balance the world.
He said to believe in ourselves and do what would help us and others happy but not put others in trouble and ourselves.
He was a peace lover and a example of human rights as he said everyone is born same.
For me he was such a great teacher from whom we still learning better ways of live.
If we find out the essence of buddha teaching. .
It would be love, forgiveness, empathy and friendship.
