They believe in the story of the Buddha
Siddhartha (Buddha) left his wealthy life to see the sufferings of the poor, and was later the leader of the new religion Buddhism because of his findings and realisation of how to live the best life one can
He decided life was ruined by one venturing too far of each extreme of life and that you should balance selfishness and selflessness in order to lessen the pain on others
Buddha hood is the state of peace and compassion and enlightenment, which all buddhists strive to attain
Many buddhists believe in god but they also know that actions are more important than beliefs.
To achieve ‘Buddhahood’ one must follow a hard eight step plan: 1) Samma Ditthi- the perfect view or understanding of things 2) Samma Sankappa- the right thoughts and attitudes towards everything 3) Samma Vaca- the perfect, most uplifting way of communication 4) Samma Ajiva- the right livelihood and the ideal way of living 5) Samma Kammanta- the right action 6) Samma Vayama- Full effort and energy 7) Samma Sati- the right mindedness and developing awareness 8) Samma Samadhi- concentration and meditation, and the whole body in one pointed mindedness and peace

Jesus believed more in Justice and kindness than in religiousness and he would communicate his beliefs by healing and feeding people them taught them about ‘his heavenly father’ until he was executed by crucifixion. After he was buried, his tomb was found empty and people began to say he was raised from the dead. This was backed up by claims of interactions with him - strengthening his teachings credibility.
