Parallel Sayings of Buddha and Muhammad taken from www.themodernreligion.com

Although the Buddha and Muhammad (saw) lived thousands of years apart, there are very similar parallels to the sayings attributed to them. It is not that they said exactly the same things, it is rather that their distinctive and independent sayings show men with a similar mission, peace and happiness on earth.

Buddha: They agreed among themselves, friends, here comes the recluse, Gotama, who lives luxuriously, who gives up his striving and reverted to luxury. Muhammad (saw): Allah has given one of His followers the choice of receiving the splendor and luxury of the worldly life whatever he likes or to accept the good (of the Hereafter) which is with Allah. So he has chosen that good which is with Allah.
