Well I would think that he was learning the trade of his adopted Father. Learning how to be a carpenter.

There is some truth that is so universal it stayed with us for a long time. Remember that part in the Bible where it says we all came from one place? Some of the wisdom from that time may have been carried with each of the grounps humanity broke up into. The fact that the same thing appears in many different places tends to confirm, not deny what is in the Bible.
The main question you should wonder is how Jesus got to those places. They are a long ways from Nazareth and its not like He just went to the airport and grabbed a convenient flight. The people in Nazareth probably couldnt have afforded a ticket anyway evem if there HAD been airlines.

I don't know if there is a connection or not but he did not have to travel to read the same for others had been to the rest of world as evidenced by the three wise men for instance there had to others as well . thanks for the references ,I've oft time wondered of the first to speak of these concepts . he was more than likely working as a carpenter and studying near his home.

I think that if this was important enough for us to know, God would have included it in His Word. Many speculate that He was employed in a trade and living his life, like everyone else in His time, and since He was a carpenter, like Joseph, that is likely what He was doing before He began His ministry.

Why on earth would God go to India to learn Buddhism or other religions?
Most of these involve the worship of idols, which He is totally against.
Get real.

There is a book not included in the bible that the church does not argee with that talkes about this part of his life. For the most part he was growing and being as "human" as the son of God could so they would think of him as human later.

He was in Nazareth growing up. When he returned as a man to preach, the people recognized him.

Totally possible, I think he was busy learning to come to terms with who and what he was - and went through some rebellious stuff. Ever wonder why those books were kept out of the bible and have only recently been published as separate books?
