<As Christians, we do poorly when it comes to judging others. We are full of justice.> Judge not lest ye be judged. Sounds like good advice. Turn the other cheek. Again, conflict avoidance - very Buddhist. There are certainly elements of Buddhism in Christianity if we let them peek through. Perhaps when he said "I am the way!" he was speaking metaphorically. The "I" in each of us could be "the way", meaning we are personally responsible for our spiritual development and we should live an exemplary life of forgiveness and tolerance! Historically, these have not been the elements that were emphasized. Let's say you find yourself divinely inspired as a teen in 15 AD Jerusalem. Where would a young man go to get enlightenment? Well, 5 years in a synagogue would be the most likely start. Then what? Well, a 10 year journey to India and Tibet might also be on the plate.
