No offense but "Salvation: Your New Relationship With God" doesn't sound like a scholarly text and goes out of it's way to avoid giving a citation, saying only that it comes from "a religious encyclopedia".
Personally I would really have to see reference to this elsewhere, in the text they used or from an actual Buddhist to take it seriously.

Obviously when Buddah looked into the future he saw a later painting of Jesus done in such a manner.

I have read Buddhist text before, but none that I've read have ever used the word sin.
The way this is written sounds like a Christian read some text and then wrote it. Also, heaven in Buddhism is one of the ten worlds, and therefore would not have a door.
The word "saved" is also never used as far as I can remember. I looked for the word saved in a Buddhist dictionary, and they do not have the word.
The idea that Buddha would say "The results of sin and Karma..." is laughable. It equates karma to sin, and that is a western concept.
I'm no expert, but I am convinced that this is a bad forgery.
This is an interesting article on the topic:

So the Lotus Sutra is just the words of a dead man?
The Bible is more than just a Book.
The Bible is God-breathed.
It is given by inspiration of God.
