Salvation in Christ and Buddha

[anotherlife]

by default, you are forced to balance adversities on you, and in the process you create new adversities, so you go nowhere. Jesus solved this problem and says don't balance your enemies with adversity. The Buddha too teaches not to get off the middle ground. So your enemies bolden up against you as a result. So what do you do to survive then? Christianity may be the fastest shrinking religion, because survival is expected in another world. The gap between that survival and the expectations of current worldly survival is big enough to cause you to destroy things. Like the sin of criminals only worse. How do you get to the other worldly survival of Christ and Buddha, if you don't make your situation worse by current worldly adversarial acts? Discuss.

Granted, I cannot speak for all Christian denominations, but from the Catholic perspective. Christianity teaches us about entering into the Kingdom of God in this world, a kingdom that is everlasting. Christianity is not about surviving. It is about living life (this one and the hereafter) to the fullest.

Every person is a point of perception, unique and subjective. This pulls the universe apart into packets and pieces. But, the universe is one single unity with no conflict or contradiction. When a person can unify with that, he/she is at peace. All the rest are condemned to unquenchable desire.
