Well you can forget about that Mohammed character....
It's definately between Jesus and Buddha. And I'm honestly stupmed as they both loved living things and were completely selfless.

So "teachers" in your statement is in reference to priests, imams, monks, etc., anyone who teaches? Or is it in reference to the original and perhaps the only "true" teachers such as: Jesus, Lao Tzu, Siddhartha Gautama, etc.?

Shakyamuni or Gautama Buddha, the founder of this unique religion--Buddhism is not a myth but a Great Teacher who actually lived in this world. He never tried to present himself as a supernatural being but as a human being who had realised the absolute truth namely, the secret of life and the real cause of suffering and happiness. Today this Teacher is not only honoured by hundreds of millions of his followers but also by every cultured and intellectual man throughout the world. This Noble Man, this Liberator, this Social Reformer, this Democrat and Inspirer into higher living, passed away at the age of eighty leaving behind a noble code for humanity to utilise as a means for the elimination of human suffering, misery, tension, fear and worry. This code enables them to gain happiness in this life and the life hereafter and leads to the ultimate liberation of all human suffering.
This Great Teacher comforted the bereaved by His consoling words. He helped the poor that were neglected. He ennobled the lives of the deluded and purified the corrupted lives of criminals. He encouraged the feeble, united the divided, enlightened the ignorant, clarified the mystic, elevated the base and dignified the noble. Both rich and poor, saints and criminals loved Him alike. Despotic and righteous Kings, famous and obscure princes and nobles, generous and stingy millionaires, haughty and humble scholars, destitutes, paupers, down-trodden scavengers, wicked murderers, despised courtesans - all benefited from His words of wisdom and compassion and led peaceful, noble lives.
His noble example was a source of inspiration to all. His serene and peaceful countenance was indeed a soothing sight to the troubled eyes of men. His message of peace and tolerance was welcomed by all with indescribable joy and was of eternal benefit to everyone who had the fortune to hear and practise it. His iron will, profound wisdom, universal love, boundless compassion, selfless service, historic renunciation, perfect purity, magnetic personality, exemplary methods employed to introduce His Teachings and His final success - all these factors have inspired about one fifth of the population of the world today to hail this teacher and to honour him as their supreme religious master.
This noble Teacher sacrificed his worldly pleasures for the sake of suffering humanity to seek the Truth in order to show the path of deliverance from suffering. He visited the poor people whilst kings and ministers visited him. For forty five years after his enlightenment he had dedicated his life for enlightening misguided human beings.
This great Teacher feared none nor did He instill fear in anyone. This is one of the principles that should be cultivated in this war-torn world of ours where the most precious thing - life - is sacrificed at the altar of brute force and where armaments are creating fear, tension and hatred.
He was the perfect scientist in the field of life. He was the perfect psychologist who was able to analyse the real nature of the mind - so much so that His teaching was acclaimed as the only scientific religion.
To great philosophers and unbiased thinkers, He is a teacher who understood worldly conditions in its proper perspective. To moralists He has the highest code of discipline and He symbolizes perfection. 'He was the perfect model of all the virtues he preached.' To rationalists, He is the most liberal - minded religious teacher who appreciated the vexed human problems. To free-thinkers, He is a religious teacher who encouraged people to think freely without depending on religious dogmas. To agnostics, He is a very kind, understanding and wise man.
He was no doubt the most persuasive of all the religious Teachers. He never used compulsion or fear as a means of gaining converts. He has introduced a religious way of life for people to be religious even without the attachment of a religious label. He was the humble servant of humanity, unperturbed by either praise or blame, and undeterred even by the most acute illness.
This religious teacher through his enlightenment, declared that:
• The greatest virtue is that gained in the cultivation of universal love;
• The supreme happiness is the happiness derived from mental tranquility;
• The absolute truth is the truth acquired through the understanding of the causes of human suffering;
• The highest religion is the religion that teaches intellectual development morality and mental purification;
• The greatest philosophy is the philosophy that introduces a practical way of life that can be followed without depending on theories and mere beliefs.
It was this religion which, for the first time in world history, revolted against the degrading caste system and taught equality of mankind, according equal opportunities for all to distinguish themselves in every walk of life. It was also this religion that first gave freedom to women by encouraging them to study and practise a religion that bestowed social equalities.
The Great Teacher declared that the gates to success and prosperity were open to all in every condition of life whether high or low, saint or criminal, who would care, seek and aspire for perfection. He did not force his followers to be slaves either to Himself or His teachings but granted them complete freedom of thought and investigation so that they could gain self-confidence.

hmmm.... not quite right, let's try again.So you really just hate the followers then, right?
It isn't Jesus' fault that his followers forgot the meaning of his teachings after a couple hundred years.
Personally, I'm torn on whether we can blame Mohamed for Islamic terrorism, but if the peaceful muslims are right then he's not to blame for that either. (if the terrorists are right about his teachings he is to blame)
And Buddha, Well, I guess it is his fault for starving and indulging himself, but he learned his lesson from it.
Bro I was just joking around...I do not judge the figures by thier followers, it is unfair....
Jesus seemed like a nice guy, so did Buddha, I am unsure about Muhammed however....i am given different information on who he really was.

Every thread on this forum has sparked arguments and fights.....
So far everyone who has posted here has done it in some diplomatic way, and i hope it stays that way. If it gets really wild, then Storm may close it if she wishes, she's the moderator.

Yeah, but I think she meant it would be like "What the hell do you mean? Buddha was a fat ass! Shut up!" or something

Buddha wins then....
Christianity has failed to promote equal rights, or if it has done so, has only had minimum effects...
I am sure Jesus meant well, because his teachings were great, but apparenly his voice was not powerful enough to be immune to corruption...

Really? Well, I think Abortion should be up to the parents. They should also give a resonable excuse for having the baby. Like, "I was raped" is a good one.

Buddha was not a prophet, nor was he a God, nor he claimed to be either of those.
He was a teacher.
Although certain Hindu's believe that he was the 9th incarnation of God, and Jesus 10th.
Basically, Krishna was the 8th incarnation of God, Buddha was the 9th, and Jesus 10th, according to certain Hindu belief.

Buddha was not fat. no2
You are refering to Chinese statue of Buddha representing happiness. 'Laughing buddha'' :
Bodhisattva Maitreya (Chinese: Mileh-fo, Japanese: Miroku Butsu or Bosatsu)
That image is based upon Chang Dingzi (907-1060) a Buddhist monk who was a native of Chekiang Province NOT real Buddha.

Sounds very interesting, but my "prophet of peace" opening was just an opening...nothing with literal intention.
For me, this is between Buddha and Jesus...both seemed sincere and as good as can be. Neither fought, niether waged war, neither executed....
