Dont get me wrong I respect Buddhism..
..its just that it is not the whole truth.
Jesus asks us to embrace the cross and suffering. Buddhists seems to be saying that suffering is all in the mind, In our thoughts and imagination. If we are aware of those thoughts and minimise them through meditation, they can almost vanish.
God wants us to share our suffering with him, real or imagined. What a great deal that is! No more lonely nights!

Agree with jonesboy, where specifically does it say that? Please provide the exact reference and quotation if you are sincere in this endeavour.
Here's some references:
I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35)
13:31-35 Christ had been glorified in many miracles he wrought, yet he speaks of his being glorified now in his sufferings, as if that were more than all his other glories in his humbled state. Satisfaction was thereby made for the wrong done to God by the sin of man. We cannot now follow our Lord to his heavenly happiness, but if we truly believe in him, we shall follow him hereafter; meanwhile we must wait his time, and do his work. Before Christ left the disciples, he would give them a new commandment. They were to love each other for Christ's sake, and according to his example, seeking what might benefit others, and promoting the cause of the gospel, as one body, animated by one soul. But this commandment still appears new to many professors. Men in general notice any of Christ's words rather than these. By this it appears, that if the followers of Christ do not show love one to another, they give cause to suspect their sincerity.
