Chrześcijaństwo i buddyzm – niektóre podobieństwa i różnice
Christianity and Buddhism - Some Similarities and Differences

Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of this article the author presents the basis truths of two religions, which at a first glance reveal some fundamental incompatibilities. Then he thoroughly presents the problems of both religions, problems situated on the periphery of the faith and religious practice. The article draws attention to deep-rooted differences and to a few similarities, but also to the reciprocal valuation of both religions, which despite their mutual respect, remain critical of each other. The most comprehensive part of the article is a brief comparison of Roman Catholic Christianity in Poland and Han people’s Buddhism in China, without going into differences between the last mentioned and Tibetan Buddhism. The paper indicates some similarities, such as, for example, periods of persecutions, but also shows the completely different role that those two religions play currently in both countries.
