ABSTRACT

I want to know what the problem of the world is, and what the solution of it is in Christianity and Buddhism. It provide the world for evil, and the sin of the mortal is the cause of the evil in Christianity. If human being lives up to action the love to God and neighborhood and offers a prayer with modesty, peace, justice, and joy comes on world. It is a Heaven. People is filled with suffering in Buddhism. The ignorance of mankind on the truth and thirsty with attachment is the cause of it. Suffering and agony will disappear with the mercy to all people and 8 right path. It is a nirvāṇa. The metaphysical principle of world system is God's providence in Christianity and retribution followed with man's action in Buddhism. That is the difference in the two religions.
