One problem, Buddah died. Christ died and was resurrected. Christ is in a league of His own.

It depends on what aspects you look at. There are similarities between some of Jesus' teachings and Buddhism. But Paul & co took Christianity in a very different direction and the similarities end there.
Christianity doesn't have much in common with Judaism besides some imagery and a set of texts that Christians insist on misinterpreting.
It's Judaism and Buddhism that have a comfortable rapport. Both are ways of living in the world with intention and awareness. And unlike Christianity, both are very much about walking the middle path.

Star War afficianodos might emphasise the similarities.. but there are mnay differences... both can be contemplative, but their views of desires and truth and God are quite different
there are similarities... however regarding Buddhism some drastic differences
Buddhism is somewhat more man centered than God centered as Buddha told his disciples to look within themselves after he left. But a fallen heart cannot fix itself it needs a savior and power from God
Budhism also claims all evil is due to desire and the solution is the extinguishing of desire. Christianity has desires capable of being set on good or evil. "this is the judgment they loved the darkness rather than the light" John 3. Desires can be redeemed and enjoyment is great if set on God glorfying things
heaven is quite different in the different views... in Buddhism, the ultimate is the extinguishing of desire. In Christianity in heaven the glory of God and the dsire and man meet perfectly in an eternal adventure with God as the centerpiece.... In Islam man is the center and heaven is almost reduced to a 5 star hotel with man at the center with rare mention of prayer to God... Biblical Judaism such as Jew for Jesus would be Christian... Rabbinic Judaism is in some respect like Christianity but the traditions of man sometimes usurp the word of God.. as do in many traditions

Buddha is NOT a name, it is a descriptive title and means "The Awakened; Anointed or Enlightened One", which is exactly the same meaning as the word "Messiah" has in Hebrew - "Christos" in Greek - "Christ" in English, which are also NOT names but are, like the word Buddha, descriptive titles, as is the word Jesus, which simply means Saviour.
There is also a Bible called "The King of king's Bible" which includes both the Koran and The Old and New Testament in Perfect harmony.

Jesus may be similar to Buddha... but he followed Judaism... What you see written in the Old Test isn't ALL of Judaism. So I think that it would be that Buddha is more similar to Judaism than most people think.

- Christianity, Islam, and Judaism (CIJ) all speak of a god who is slow to anger, rich in kindness and mercy, and orders or commits mass murder at the drop of a hat. Buddha did not speak of any gods.
- CIJ all teach a single God (Ar. Allah)--although Xianity stretches the concept a bit. Buddhists speak of many gods or none.
- CIJ all teach of an insanely jealous, narcissistic god who cannot tolerate competition or dissent.
- Xianity and Islam both charge their followers with speading the word and proselytize aggressively, making all-around pests of themselves. Buddhism and Judaism don't.
- Xianity and Islam have both been responsible for unspeakable attrocities in history. The attrocities of Judaism and Buddhism pale in comparison (notwithstanding the unsubstantiated claims of Canaanite genocide in the Tanakh).
- And last, but not least, shattering all claims of kindness by Jesus (pbuh), Christianity and Islam both teach infinite, grotesque torture for finite crimes, victimless activities, and failure to kiss God's аss. Judaism partially inherited this ghastly teaching from Persian religion. Jesus said "Love your enemies," but turned around and made it clear that God does no such thing. Buddhism has none of this evil doctrine.
@Capitalctu - Dead people don't come back to life. That's basic reality. If you want prove your extraordinary claim, you'll need a lot more that a 1900-year-old self-contradictory anthology of hearsay and personal "revelations." A lot more.
@That_guy_drew - The Elohim of Genesis are a legacy of Judaism's polytheistic past, not a trinity. That much is clear from modern Jews' denial of any trinity. It takes a retrofit reading to interpret them as a trinity. (If you hadn't been taught so, would it ever occur to you that the Genesis plural referred specifically to three-gods-in-one?)

Christianity and Buddhism are different.
Buddhists do not believe in a all controlling super power.
Buddhism is a philosophy to achieve Nirvana the ultimate freedom.

I would have never thought of this on my own, but I like the comparison. I think Jesus was just a person on this planet who taught some very good ideas as was Buddha.

True Christianity and Jesus teachings are similar to Islam and Judaism. Trinity is someway similar to Buddism as both of them have dieties for worship beside God. Islam belives God to be One with no partners. He sent Messengers to every people and nation. Some of them later went against their teachings and made those messengers a god for worship. So they may have those false beliefs in common.

Buddhist's don't believe in god or the soul so I'm having a difficult time understanding how Buddhism is like Catholicism.
