View submission: Why Buddhism?
Christians are stuck in what they call sin and have to rely on god to become free of their sin, this only happens after death though. In buddhism a person through this teaching and training can be able to purify their mind from hatred greed and delusion in this very life, so they don't need to wait to die and have god do it. They can live a pure life free of evil deeds.
Buddhism offers the opportunity to become free of suffering in this very life. Or if not, you can get a rebirth in a heaven realm or another rebirth as a human.
Christianity offers heaven. But if you become free of suffering in this life, then you transcend rebirth in any realm - meaning you won't go to hell, won't be reborn as a human and won't go to heaven either.
So in terms of how far this teaching and practice can take you, it's further than what Christianity offers. Christianity can only take you as far as heaven - and not beyond.
There's nothing here!
