No, have you read Buddhist teachings? Jesus claimed to be God. That was seriously important. Buddhists don't seem to care if there is a God or not. It would be ridiculous to say Christ embraced Buddhist teachings when everything written about his teachings are centered in God and man's sin. Christ was the Savior and He is God incarnate. Buddha was a disgruntled Hindu looking for something better. He made up his own religion instead of looking to God. Unfortunate. But Jesus never taught Asian philosophy or any other philosophy except that of the Bible.

All religious people should study the History of Civilization at a University. Religion hides the fact that travel during Biblical times was very difficult. If a biblical person went 200 miles it would be similar to a person of today going around the World. Plus, other than religious writing, there is no historical record of a Jesus Christ.

No, He stayed in Israel. He spoke Hebrew and/or Aramaic.
He lived a Jewish lifestyle.
He celebrated Passover, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah-- (John 10: 22Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Yeshua (Jesus) was in the temple area walking in Solomon's Colonnade. 24Jewish people gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.")
He went to synagogue every week. ( Luke 4:16
He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." )
He said specifically He was sent to the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." He never traveled outside Israel during His lifetime.
He said the words He gave to the world were words He heard from the One True G-d, the G-d Who made all there is.
When someone asked Him what the most important commandment was, He said, "Shma Israel, Ad-nai Elohenu, Ad-nai Echad." (Hear Israel. The L-rd our G-d, the L-rd is One." (compound unity).
Read the historical account of Yeshua. He doesn't lie. What it contains is the truth about His life and teachings.
This is the year of the L-rd's favor. If you are oppressed or poor or a prisoner, He came for you.
Yeshua passionately loved (s) G-d and people. Including you.
Do you believe He is who He said He is? Ask G-d if Yeshua is the Messiah... if Yeshua is His son.
Ask with sincerity.

Highly unlikely. Available evidence indicates that he studied the Torah and the books of Moses and the prophets quite diligently. This was no small feat. The fact that he was holding his own in the Temple at the age of 12 indicates that he was a well educated man.
Jesus was able to quote scripture at will as an adult. He never quoted any Buddhist texts or referred to any law except the Jewish law and the laws of Rome, who ruled Israel and Judah at that time.

No. The truth can be sought and found by many in many places. Jesus knew more of it than Buddha, because Jesus was one with God. Buddha also knew the truth. One Truth makes one seeker of us all.

I think that God represents Jesus's own reasoning. God was his enlightenment.

Funny that people who say the bible is untrue would rather believe that Jesus going to India is possible with no hard evidence or any written records.

Well, being that Jesus' not only quoted scripture that was centuries older than Buddha as well as fulfilled multitudes of prophecy concerning his life, it doesn't appear that Jesus needed to learn from someone who couldn't even describe his own path to enlightenment.
