Oh man... There are a lot of connections, especially with some of the earliest religions discovered and there is not a thing wrong with the concept at all. There is a problem with how the concept was practiced with a few of them, But Buddhism was never one of the bad ones and deserves a right to be respected with tolerance if you are a TRUE Christian. Buddhism is not a Religion it is an education.
Look up Pantheism and it will explain the general concept and make the connection with proven Quantum particle physics. It makes a very viable connection with Science and Religion. A Christian should never rule out the possibility that their God created all these particles as they are now proven in quantum physics.
I am now a Pantheist myself. Unfortunately the leftists have hijacked the label and tried to turn it into some “utopian” idea. Which is wrong and they have no right to associate it with Utopian ideals because they do not apply.
“Buddhism is not a Religion it is an education.”
