Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for Did the Buddha make any reference to Krishna and Gita?

In fact, the Buddha's karma philosophy and the notion of 'skillful karma' ( performing actions as duty without getting attached to it) seem to be too close to Krishna's karma yoga philosophy to find any difference.

The Buddhist skillful Karma is not to do any action as a duty without attachment but to perform action with volitions which contain the roots of non aversion, non craving and non ignorance.

Is there any reference to the Gita or Krishna in Buddhist texts?

I don't think there are.
