What do you mean? I'm not sure which of Harris' arguments would be particularly relevant to Buddhism. From what I [think I] understand about it, not all Buddhists believe in the existence of deities. And I'm not even sure Harris can really be called a Buddhist. He just seems to like meditation and some Buddhist teachings, from what I can recall.
I'm no Harris fan; he can be criticized for a lot of things (scientism, over-generalizing Muslims, etc), but not that.
