What do Buddhists think about Jesus?
Most Buddhists have a great respect for Jesus Christ and His teachings (though this may not always extend to some activities of certain Christian churches). However, one of the main problems that Buddhists find with Christianity is that its philosophical basis is weak. Many of its tenets, which have their origins in the Old Testament, are at variance with scientific evidence. Christianity is thus unable to mount a convincing defense against materialism. In contrast Buddhism is a consistent philosophical system which doesn’t suffer from internal logical contradictions. Nor does Buddhism make claims which are at variance with biological, geological and cosmological reality.
