Buddhism
There is no 'love your neighbor' in Budhism.
"Consider others as yourself." --- Dhammapada 10:1
"Hurt not others with that which pains yourself." --- Udana 5.13
"Just as a mother would protect her only child at the risk of her own life, even so, cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings." --- Sutta Nipata
'm pretty sure a homeless is better our western world and it's christian heritage rather then in a Budhist country ...
Charity ("dana") is the first of the "Ten Perfections" of Buddhism.
"If beings knew, as I know, the results of giving and sharing, they would not eat without having given, nor would the stain of miserliness overcome their minds. Even if it were their last bite, their last mouthful, they would not eat without having shared, if there were someone to receive their gift. But because beings do not know, as I know, the results of giving and sharing, they eat without having given. The stain of miserliness overcomes their minds." --- Itivuttaka 26
"The avaricious do not go to heaven, the foolish do not extol charity. The wise one, however, rejoicing in charity, becomes thereby happy in the beyond." --- Dhammapada
"Giving is the noble expression of the benevolence of the mighty." --- Jatakamala 3:23
... where he will simply be told that he must endure the result of Bad Karma in past lives.
Whereas in a Christian country he might be told to patiently endure the will of God. Same difference, really.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.
