Jesus is one of the many Buddhas

While speaking to a friend who is a Buddhist, I heard her speak one of those statements of truths.

"There are many Buddhas. You or I can be a Buddha dependin on how we live our life."

And I suppose this is what makes Christianity so different from Buddhism. Christ is seen as the only way of salvation. One could be good, but if one does not follow Christ, one is not saved. Whereas in Buddhism, there is a reliance on your actions. It does not matter if you follow a particular Buddha or not.

In some ways, I can see why some people call Christianity a cult.
