Welcome to BuddhistTok

BuddhistTok tests what Buddhism teaches (karma, rebirth, no-self, nirvana, no Creator) against the Bible, quoting the Buddhist texts word for word, and shows why Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

Read the ten places Buddhism goes wrong, learn what each tradition believes, swipe the cards, or ask a question. We critique ideas, never people.

Reading is free. No trackers.
