WHERE IS THE TRUTH?
Four Big Differences
Between Buddha Shakyamuni
and Jesus
This is an article for someone who is searching for truth, thinking about the meaning of life, interested in life, death and the afterlife, will find truth and hope. The following four points shared: truth, the power to overcome death, miracles, and the promise of eternal life will help us to know which is truth.
1. Truth
Shakyamuni Buddha: Buddha sought the truth to escape birth, old age, sickness, and death. That proves that Shakyamuni Buddha is not the truth.
Jesus: Jesus said, “ I am the truth, the way, and the life… ” (John 14:6). Because Jesus is the truth, He did not seek truth like Buddha, but He also called people to come to Him.
2. The Power to Conquer Death
Buddha Shakyamuni: Buddha died and did not resurrect, at present the relics of Buddha such as teeth and bones are still kept in some temples called relics. Through these relics, it also proves that the Buddha did not come back to life and did not defeated the god of death.
Jesus: Jesus died and rose again as he said: “ I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me will live, though he died” (John 11:11). 25).
Currently, no relics of Jesus such as His teeth or bones have been found, only the remains of an empty tomb in Israel to attest to the resurrection of Jesus. Many people saw Jesus after His resurrection; those people ate, drank, and talked with Jesus before He ascended to heaven. The event of Jesus’ ascension to heaven was also witnessed by many people.
The Bible is the word of God that says: Jesus broke the bonds of death, because it could not keep Him under it. Through his atoning death and resurrection, Jesus destroyed the ruler of death, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.

3. Miracles
Buddha Shakyamuni: Buddha did not heal the sicks, cast out demon, raise the death …
Jesus: When Jesus was on earth, He performed many miracles: lepers, deaf-mute people, blind people, paralytics and all sorts of diseases, which He healed… He turned water into wine… He raised the dead man even though he had been in the grave for four days. He rebuked the wind and told it to be quiet. He casts demons out of those who are possessed by them… Jesus proved He has power over sickness, the devil, nature and death, it also proves that He really is the way, the truth, and life as He said.
4. Eternal Life (The Promise Of Salvation)
Buddha Shakyamuni: Buddha does not promise anyone who believes in Buddha, Buddha will give eternal life. Buddha said people should light their own torches.
Jesus: Jesus said that whoever believes in Him or puts their faith in Him, He will give that person eternal life when that person repents and accepts Him as the Savior of their life. The Word of God in the Bible is as follows:
“ Whoever believes in the Son (Jesus) has eternal life; whoever does not believe in the Son (Jesus) will not see life, but the wrath of God (God) remains on him” ( John 3:36).
“ … Everyone who looks at the Son (Jesus) and believes in the Son (Jesus) has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day ” (John 6:40).
“ Whoever has the Son (Jesus) has life; whoever does not have the Son of God (Jesus) has no life. I have written these things to you, that you may know that he has eternal life, who believes in the name of the Son of God ” (1 John 5:12-13).
“ For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God… and the wages or result of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus… ” (Romans 3:23, 6:23)
The presentation of these truths will help anyone who is seeking truth and has a spiritual thirst to see the truth. It is also through knowledge of this truth that it will enable someone to turn to Jesus for forgiveness of sins from God and to receive eternal life after death.
