Buddha believed, “Because we and the world are imperfect, impermanent, and not separate, we are forever ‘clinging’ to things, each other, and ourselves, in a mistaken effort at permanence (Introduction to Buddhism). Christians believe they must be “in the world but not of the world.” Christians believe a person must not stay completely detached from the world because in order to tell others the good news of Jesus Christ they must remain close to sinners. Even though Christians believe this, they also believe sin is the reason that the world is imperfect. Buddhists also believe the world is imperfect and by doing good things they can achieve nirvana, their idea of heaven. Although Christians believe people should do things and obey the Ten Commandments, they believe that the only way to get to heaven is to have faith in Jesus
