correct? Look at the actions of his and Jesus's followers since. Which of the two prophets teachings actually worked?

I will characterize Buddha as the Best Prophet humanity has ever had!
Even though I'm not a Buddhist, i feel Buddhists all over the world have followed Buddha’s Spiritual Teachings to the letter, till today. Hence I strongly feel and believe that Buddha has done a great job as a Spiritual Leader than Christ!
Christ was a total failure in imparting Spiritual Knowledge to humanity – look at all those Christians today, none follow Christ Spiritual Teachings to the letter in their daily life. Instead they have turned into walking "Bible Dictionaries" and a bunch of weaklings in the Spiritual Department - constantly depending on Christ to save their Coward Souls!

No, Buddha was not he true Prince of Peace. Did Buddah die for your sins? Can you go to the grave of Buddha and find his bones there? Remember, when Peter and the 2 Mary's went to the tomb to get Jesus's body, he was not there, just the grave clothes? You cannot find an earthly body or the bones of Jesus anywhere on this earth. He arose after 3 days just as He said He would. Jesus was more than a prophet, He was the Son of the Living God. God created man in His image, but he created us with a free will giving us the right to chose whomever we wanted to follow. The desire of His heart is that we chose to follow Him. I believe that Buddha's teachings of peace and love were founded on the teaching of Jesus, but ask yourself this, do I have peace in my heart following Buddha and do I know where I am going to spend Eternity?

As far a being non -violent I would have to say historically those who proclaimed themselves Buddhists were less violent. I do not think this was because Jesus taught violence but that Christianity piggybacks off of the Old Testament which at times teaches extreme violence. Christianity among other things teaches to love your enemy, turn the other check, as well as that living by the sword is to die by the sword. Some have postulated that Jesus and the Buddha were the same soul entity.

Buddhist never attacked any country in the name of religion
Buddhists never used any tricks to convert
Buddhist never argue unnecessarily on religion,God, and heaven
(All above is also true for hindus)
Additional:
There is no fight between hindus and buddhists. Buddha is treated as an incarnation of God after Krishna)

BOTH ! as a theist,to me they both spread the word's of love and peace - what humans' do with those word's is down to them ! when they realise that; we might be able to get round to helping repair some of the damage we've done to the nature chain - instead of constant politic's about who's to blame for what clouding the issue!ktf.x

Buddhists get attacked by christians. Buddhists get attacked by muslims and Hindus. i sense jealousy.
I do think Buddhists are one of the greatest religions known to man. but you know there are wars started every day from one religion or another.
never understimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
