There may be some simularities in how a Christian and a Bhuddist lives and acts nut there is no simularity in Bhuddism and Christianity.

In a bit of a hurry right now - have to dash out in the rain to get our Son from school.
But there are quite a few similarities in the two. Off the top of my head:
Benevolence toward others
Charitable works
Sacrifice of the self
Adherence to ritual
Organization to benefit the propagation of the church/temple

Now, I think I can guess your response - Yes, these are acts. But I would propose that "By their acts they will be known" as a response to your possible comment.
es, there is a great difference in the basic tenets of Christianity and Buddhism; but there is also a great deal of similarity.

FWIW, I consider myself a Christian...a poor one...but I profess and do testify to my Christian beliefs.

No rituals no temples. When Jesus was Crucified the temple curtain was torn from top to bottom to open the temple - no more secrets.
