totally so. Some even say it is not a religion in the common sense, as Buddhism has no God or creator in its notion. It has highly interesting and profound philosophical and psychological teachings. I like how many referred to it and investigated the scripts in the original languages. Coming to us and giving us interpretations and insights. One can study Buddhism for decades.
This connection the Christians never made to me or vice versa. Though I am definitely do not having anything against Jesus, actually I like him very much as a role model, he would have been an excellent buddy to Siddhartha Gautama, I guess. They only lived about 500 years apart, if I remember correctly. :-)
