As a philosophy, Buddhism really resonates with me. A little while back, I was looking in to incorporating the teachings in to my life. I'm a Christian, but I think the two actually compliment each other in a lot of ways. Jesus and Buddha are not so different outside of name. I need to look back in to it, I don't know why I didn't keep up with it.
Was watching a doc on the life of Buddha last night and definitely saw some similarity. As I mentioned, Jesus is considered to have reached Nirvana and become a Buddha on his own path. Buddha's teachings are a path, but not the only path. You can take more than one road to get to the same destination.
