Aren't there parellels between all religions? What's so different about Budhism and Catholicsm?
I suppose you could say that. The differences lie mostly between dogmatic teachings. Buddhists do not necessarily follow Christ as a figure, but walk in what is virtually the same moral path. The same could be said for Christians who don't emphasize on dogma, or at the very least put it second to existing wisely, ethically, and lovingly. We may not all be on the same boat, yet we travel along the same river.
