They would engage in a knife-fight cage-match to the death! Of course, with Jesus's resurrections, and Buddha's reincarnations it could be a long match (especially when glowing super-powered God Jesus has to battle against tranquil-enlightened yet super-pissed Buddha angelic elephant form).

I believe Jesus and Buddha has a lot to learn from each other. There is more historical evidence for Siddhartha Gautama than there is for Christ.
Apparently 'heiscomingintheclouds' speaks for God. How can I get an assignment like that?

Here is something to chew on. Jesus was the son of God (ie. "Before Abraham was, I AM" John 8:58, and "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but through me." John 14:6). Buddha was a mere man. This isn't a contest of who is stronger, because it is already one sided. Your question is, who would serve whom. My answer is, Buddha has to choose Jesus for himself. Jesus can't make that choice for Buddha.

Where do you think Jesus went when he dissapeared for all that time? He went to Tibet to study Buddhism. You do realize there are the same number of beads on Tibetan prayer beads as there are on the rosary, right? When you critically examine what Jesus taught, it was like he was trying to reconcile the Dharma with Judaism. But, thanks to Saul/Paul, instead of ending up with a balanced combination, we ended up with Judaism v2.0. HOORAY SOCIAL CONTROL!!
Jesus came after Buddha, so he didn't study directly under him, but he was heavily influenced by his teachings. So Buddha wins, because historically, he came first!

I am not even sure if Buddha ever existed. If he did, one thing is certain.
He will stand before God on the day of judgment. If there was a Buddha, and he was not born again, he has already knows Jesus and is now in the place known as hell where he is tormented continually.

I think neither of them because they were real aristocrats. And when I mean aristocrat I don't mean it in political terms. They were strong in their beliefs, Jesus being the epitome of real universal emotions and Buddha being the mortal man that said to your face the sins we humans may have, and saying believe what you believe it's real. Maybe they'll just form a strange amity relationship?

Just to let u know Buddha never set out to convert anyone he just wanted to share with people what he found out about life -the pain and suffering and exception of it. Changing your self with self discipline. Yes, he had set out to find the truth in religions and words of gurus' but he found that truth can only be found within ones' self. Buddha wasn't petty enough to care about anyone's religion let alone converting anyone. He only wanted to help. Don't degenerate his memory lady/dude or whatever u r!

Buddha wouldn't follow Jesus, and I doubt Jesus would follow Buddha.

Buddha would fall to his knees in worship to Jesus. You can't beat a living God.
