“Buddha wasn’t a Christian, but Jesus would have made a good Buddhist.”
- Ray Wylie Hubbard
No. Opposite approaches. Jesus says to make disciples of all nations. Buddha said to avoid attachment. Proselytization is attachment big time. Both give alms but fro very different reasons. Christians do it to sacrifice for the poor. Buddhists give alms to minimize contact with and attachment to the poor. Giving alms occasions less attachment than persistent begging. For the Buddhist it is better to not encounter the alms seeker at all.
