Something interesting about Jesus....?

Question

I had a incling that Jesus knew of Buddha, that he had traveled to india and learned about him. Because he had alot of teachings that Buddha had, that were outside of the norm for a 13-30 year old Jewish male of his time, but not outside the norm for a indian male, or someone who been to india. So in thinking this I would often point out alot of things, but today I came across this site and it had alot of thing that are very intesesting one of which speaks on the fact that Jesus or St. Issa had spent seventeen years in India and Tibet. From age thirteen to age twenty-nine, he was both a student and teacher of Buddhist and Hindu holy men. The story of his journey from Jerusalem to Benares was recorded by Brahman historians, and today they still know him and love him as St. Issa. Their 'buddha'
This is the link to the site, I think you all should bookmark it

and leave comments of what you think here

Buddha came before Jesus

you also have to take into account the gnostic gospel, there jesus could leave his body, a form of astro projection, this is similar to buddist teachings. Furthermore jesus wouldnt have been imitated by buddha it would be the other way around. Oh and I also subsribe to the idea that Jesus and other are beings of awarness, in that the hold the word of god

Oh and I was just reading the book of jubilies from that site, and it said that God place those who will testify on the behave of men on the day of judgement, and we shall kill them. Its just another intersesting thoughts, that leads me to believe Jesus was not the son of god, but as he called himself, The son of men, and born to testify aginst us

Answer 1

hi, thanks for the links...
i've read it, yes i do think Jesus and Buddha's teachings in essential is the same.. Both emphasize on compassion...
but present fundamental christianity seems in the wrong way, isn't it ?
i also read the other links... i don't know why, but i feel spooky... the website seems to correlating one's teaching with another... well, i can't say that's wrong, but there's a doubt in me hahaha i just feel spooky.... =p
(things like war of angels.. etc ..)
may be i haven't got the higher 'wisdom' to understand...

thanks anyway =)

let us practice meditation to develop wisdom and compassion...

Answer 2

I think there are similarities because most religion has some amount of truth to it. Jesus was the son of God. He was (and still is) THE truth, THE light and THE way. Jesus knew all the answers because he knew all the questions. Any similarity between Jesus' teachings and any other religion is because followers of the other religions have imitated and copied Jesus since the days He walked on the earth.

Answer 3

To add little more credibility, In Arabic, the name Jesus is Issa. Probably almost identical to the Aramaic translation,

Remember, also Jesus learned a lot from the Jewish scholar Hillel whose teachings were full of love for mankind,

Answer 4

it is true. jesus was a buddhist.. the discovery channel produced a documentary called jesus to the himalayas.. it proved that jesus spent some time in the asia minor that's why he began preaching at the age of 33 at palestine. he was disconted at his born religion (hypocrisy of the jewish authorities) that's why like any other soul yearning to understand his life seeks other pastures.. and the pastures enlightened him about the facts of life. can't we realize that his goldren rule do not do unto others what you want others do unto you. it is a reverse of buddha teaching which is in the affirmative sentence.. and the practice of fasting.. which is of course originated from buddhism.. remember the 40 days 40 nights in the desert.

Answer 5

You might find the book "Cosmic Consciousness" by Richard Bucke interesting. Jesus and Buddha and other great spiritual beings are cited as examples of a state of awareness.

Answer 6

but why not? Why Christianity making His life fixed in chapters describing a few counted events? What about His life in between? Check out your own life, how many things you've alredy done? If it will be written that already would fill numbers of thick books, isn't it?

Answer 7

All good men think alike. Too bad years later people mess up their message.

Answer 8
