Granted, I have only a casual knowledge of Buddhism, but I'm pretty sure they don't preach a belief that the world is going to end imminently and one must repent and purify yourself before that happens.

The world is always ending. YOUR world could end the next time you walk out your front door and get hit by a car. Death is always imminent one should live one's life accordingly. Death, and the rebirth is always an instant away.

>"There are those who argue that Jesus is a figment of the Church’s imagination, that there never was a Jesus at all. I have to say that I do not know any respectable critical scholar who says that any more.
