    Not really.  These are the most basic distinctions, to me, as I understand them.  If you ask Christians, or Buddhists, what they think are the most important distinctions, you will get other answers.

     

    Remember.  Buddhism and Christianity come in many flavors.  There is much diversity of opinion.

     I will remember that! Thank you a lot!

    The Buddha began with certain basic questions.  Why do we suffer?  What is the nature of suffering?  For now, we can set aside the answers to these questions.

     

    By contrast, the Christ is about the Path to God.  A very different goal.

    I should add that I am neither Buddhist nor Christian.  These are only the most basic of distinctions.

    This statement is of great help to me. Now I really know the most basic of them. Thank you.
