If many Buddhists are more Christ-like than Christians, is that enough to save their soul? Or do they have to believe that Jehovah sent his son as a blood sacrifice to atone for the original sin of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden?

We are saved through grace, not deeds. Believing in Jesus and repenting is the only way to God.

He's going to hell if he rejects to his dying breath that Jesus, who is God, died for his sins and rose again.
And there is no Buddhist that "acts more like Christ-like than Christians". God doesn't grade on a curve. Every human being is a sinner (including the "Dalai Lama") deserving of hell, and the way out is the Gospel above.

Your question is teeming with assumption. "Many Buddhists"? Any source on that? "...are more Christ-like..." - again,any source,plus kindly define your terms; what is "Christ like" in your book? It's kind of hard to answer a question built on unsupported presupposition.

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to Father except through Me" (John 14:6)
Not much ambiguity there. If you wish to come to the Father and enjoy eternal life with Him, you come through Christ alone. Christ died in order to atone for and pay for all the sins of His people. Those who die unforgiven, will face the eternal judgment for their sins.

The only way to the Father is through His Son.

sri.Dalai Lama knows by himself how to go to Heaven(Nirvana) and he can properly guide many of his followers to go to Heaven.Neither he nor his followers will NOT go to hell.He also does NOT need any body else's help to go to Heaven.The doubt is only about others who teach "One way trafic"----- .
