Buddhism: What Problem Is It Solving?

A fair starting point: suffering, desire, liberation - and how that worldview differs from the gospel.

One of the best ways to understand a religion is to ask:

What is the problem?
What is the solution?
And what does it say is ultimately real?

For Buddhism (broadly speaking), the problem is often framed around suffering and the way craving/attachment traps us.

Christianity speaks about suffering too - but it diagnoses something deeper:

  • not just pain
  • not just desire
  • but sin and separation from God

This section will grow into a careful comparison that doesn’t mock anyone - just tries to be honest about the claims.
