How close is Islam to my Eastern values?

Buddhist: the Buddha's way is enough

Many Buddhists feel the Buddha's teaching already gives a whole way of life. It is to avoid evil, do good, and make the mind pure.

The case for it

Do no evil, take up the good, and make your mind pure: this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Where it falls short

Islam teaches the same three things, and says that whoever makes his soul pure succeeds. The difference is the One behind them. In Islam, goodness is offered to the Creator who made the soul, and every deed is weighed before Him.
