This is true. The question them becomes, how shall we achieve the state of not clinging to life and wealth and power? Buddha's answer, as I understand it, is a continuous striving against the world and against oneself. Jesus' answer, by contrast, is life in relationship to Him, a life of surrender to Love and the working of the Holy Spirit.
Luke 17:33 "Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it."
Galatians 2:20-21 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me;and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification were through the law, Christ died for no purpose."
