Did Jesus study Buddhism?

Answer 1

You should read Lamb by Christopher Moore. It is an amusing book.

It is a tale about Jesus during his first 30 years. He is called to visit each of the three wise men who visited him as a young one. And yes, one of them does teach him some tenets of Buddhism.

And it does make sense, if you examine Jesus's words and some of the koan. Jesus had some wisdom to impart.

Answer 2

Traditionally Christ is supposed to have studied in India. He isn't heard of until he is 30 years old, and he was a carpenter etc. There are many things said about him. But there is this persistent legend that he studied in India. Two thirds of the worlds population had been civilized by this time in the East by Buddhist teachings spread by monks. Europe was still a barbarism.
In the Middle East this religious philosophy appears.
The principles known as Buddhism included those of, love thy neighbor, abstain from the use of force.
It is likely that Jesus was a man who brought this message to the Middle East at that time. Because he was influential and an opinion leader he was listened to.
But these concepts travelled on other routes aswell.
The parables which are discovered today in the New Testament are discovered earlier, the same ones, elsewhere in many places.
The Egyptian Book of the Dead, which predates the N.T. considerably, for example. This is , "love thy neighbor", in effect "be civilzed".. "abandon the use of force.". Moses is also saying this in the O.T.
The Hebrew definition of Messiah is One who brings wisdom, a teacher.
Messiah means "messenger". Moses was one, and then Christ became such a one. He was a bringer of information. He never announced his sources. He spoke of them as coming from God.
But they might just as well have come from the Hymn of the Dawn Child, from the Veda.

Jesus did not study Buddhism. He was a Christian. The Bible says he read the Scriptures. In those days it would have been the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.

Answer 4

I don't know about buddhism but his teachings are the same as siddha yoga,the vedas & vedanta philophy from india. See www.stephen-knapp.com/articles_to_read. Jesus taught, meditation on God, "God dwells within you as You", Reincarnation and the guru disciple relationship. See romans 8-29, this discribes the guru disciple relationship. See matthew 11-14/15, matt. 17-10/13 & matt. 22-32, this is where jesus tell his disciples John the baptist is Isais reincarnated.

Jesus' "religion" is exclusive. Learning about in inclusiveness of Buddhism would be antithetical, not to mention incongruous
