How do you achieve salvation through Buddhists?

In: Buddhism [Edit categories]

Answer:

Buddhism is not about salvation. They have a completely different philosophy. Salvation is a Christian thing.

While Christians have original sin and salvation, Buddhists have suffering and mindfulness. To a Buddhist, life is suffering, and the only way to escape it, is to accept it, and stop trying to avoid it. It´s kind of a paradox.
