For some relationships it is all hearts and diamonds but end up with spades and clubs.

She did and Buddha told her to -

(a) cover up

(b) wise up

(c) sit down and shut up

 

He offered her -

 

And she sang -

Buddhism is a philosophy that became religion while Christianity is a religion that annihilated philosophy. 

 

The starting point for Christians is the dogmatic belief in God. 

The starting point for Buddhist is the dogmatic belief in rebirth. 

 

On a side note, the various numbers in Buddhism (4 noble truths, 8-fold path, etc) are mnemonic expedients. 

On a collateral note, there are no practical teachings in the gospels: they were meant to merely tell the story.

Well, did you lose weight?  Or did you just move the weight to different areas of your body?

or maybe to different dimensions?

there are many text far too esoteric for any of you to have come across where the Buddha was recorded  while he was still alive, and answering the monks saying

 

"hear ye oh blessed order of monks! When I have died, and this heap becomes lifeless and then has decomposed  there will be much great confusion about what I said and did not say. Quarelling, hatred, and contempt will become rampant among the sangha. '

"But fear not dear monks for there will be the one called ion who will arise in the future. with his great wisdom and all seeing eye he will unlock all the Dharma that have become mysteries to the ignorant. He will clear all the confusion, and set all the records straight, and will rule over you all like a rod of iron! In as much as iron turns to rust and crumbles.'

 

"Do not cross the one called ion who I hereby declare as the one whom the truth is within and who I am here and now calling by name and establishing as my predecessor.'

 

"whenever oh monks, you find yourselves ignorant, confused and quarelling over the things I have said and about the Dharma, and even the deeper meaning of the Tao Te Ching for that matter, go to the one called ion the all seeing and all knowing.'

 

"hopefully I have made myself very clear on this. I repeat  his name is ion, and he is from a place called California. This must be recorded and the news spread to all the sangha present and future lest ye forget and become engulfed in ignorance. DO NOT argue with him please!"
