Christians believe at increasing the followers of their faith such that everyone in the world would have one religion. Buddhists on the other hand follow the rule of impermanence which would lead to Buddhism fading out like every other worldly object. They are however anticipating the reappearance of an individual who can achieve enlightenment similar to the Buddha and reignite a religion with the same belief system. ("Comparison of") Christianity and Buddhism share some basic similarities in the way they treat others, their general rules of behavior and in the themes of justice. Both religions explore beyond the mortal life. They teach its followers how to demonstrate selfless love which is not limited to the friends or family but spreads to the enemies as well, regardless of what they might have done. The state of being selfless is supposed to have the power to change the mind and can even overcome the fear of death. ("Difference between")

Buddhism has had a lot of impact in the religious sector of Southeast Asia.

They are making the world aware of an alternative lifestyle which is free from all material desires. Meditation...

My experience during the interview has taken me a step closer to understanding the dedication which Buddhists have towards achieving their goal. Their approach is significantly different from Christianity as observed from their comparative study.
