While Buddhists generally don't believe in any deity, some consider him to be a Boddhisatva (pardon the spelling), someone who helps others "achieve Nirvana."

Buddha was way before Christ. However, most enlightened individuals accept Buddha and Christ as enlightened beings coming down into the flesh to spread knowledge and teachings amongst the people.
Most Buddhists feel that Christ was, like mentioned already, a person of compassion and intelligence. A highly evolved being meant to spread love and compassion onto Earth and its people.
Unfortunately...His message has been COMPLETELY LOST.
Blessed Be.

A number of Buddhists ( not all ) view Christ as an emanation of the Lord of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara a Bodhisattva.
To ferry others from suffering to liberation. In Tibet, There are even recorded evidences of a "foreigner" visiting the Monasteries in the Himalayans and learning meditation and yoga techniques from them. Those were compiled and called the "Isa Text" ( loosely translated from tibetan). Evidently Isa is a transliteration of the name Jesus
I mean all records of Jesus between the age of 12 ( when he turned water to wine ) and 30 are not available, so it definitely COULD be a possibility of him travelling or being moved to a foreign country to protect him.
Mother Mary and Joseph DID know the importance of this prophesied child, so i think they would NOT be so callous as to not record his life stories even if it is in very sporadic unprofessional records. I mean even Ruth's biography was recorded... and in that book... no apparent "teachings" were revealed even....

Jesus was born 500 years later to Buddha . there was no question of Buddha expressing any opinion about Jesus Christ.
If any other person has any view es that is his own and not Buddha's

Buddhism doesn't consider Yeshua the Christ. Know why? 'Cause then they'd be Christian. Yeshua is actually pretty unimportant (or nonexistent, to be exact) in the other religions, except for Islam in which he is a prophet.
