Anyone who claims that one can be Buddhist and a Christian, either doesn’t understand Buddhism or doesn’t understand Christianity.
One of the basic tenets of Buddhism is Samsara.
Samsara is the continuous cycle of birth, decay and death that all beings are engaged in. That Samsara can only be broken once one attains Nirvana.
Christianity denies any notion of reincarnation. Our souls are only returned to corporal form for the Last Judgement.
In Buddhism, the ulitmate goal is to attain Nirvana, which is the state of nothingness, the state of obliteration of self.
In Christianity, the ultimate goal is to be with God for all eternity.
Finally, Buddhism teaches that you can reach Nirvana through your own efforts.
If we can reach Nirvana through our own efforts, then why do we need a Saviour. Then what was the reason for Christ incarnation and his suffering on the cross?
Anyone who believes he cannot learn from other world philosophies and adopt what is good from them, (denying the opportunity of applying them to his life) is an idiot fool that is either a politician, a militant, or a fanatic... or a simple igit retard.
