In Christianity, even a child or an illiterate person can be saved, because anyone who believes in Jesus as the Lord will be saved. But what about the Buddhist salvation (though I'm a little bit sorry about the comparison)? Buddhism has it that man can attain the salvation by being Buddha and that he can be Buddha through the process of Buddhist monk, that is, Buddha's disciple. No matter how good a life a Buddhist has lived in the world, he must be reincarnated as a human being once more if he hasn't been a Buddhist monk and been delivered from worldly existence. He can gain the salvation, that is, he can be Buddha only if he has lived the strict life of monk without meat or marriage, all his life. What a harsh salvation! Not only can children or ignorant adults not understand the difficult Buddhist doctrine, but it is almost impossible for them to realize it and to be delivered from worldly existence. (It is so, even when we assume that the Buddhist doctrine is the truth.) In Christianity, however, kindergarten children also can be saved. All they have to do to be saved is to believe in Jesus. What a non-exclusive religion!
