Did Jesus Learn Buddhism?‏

There is a school of thought that Jesus actually went to India to be taught the teachings of Buddha. There was a period during Jesus teenage years that he disappeared from Middle East and spent his time in India at the hospitality of the 3 wise men from the East. The 3 wise men went over to Jerusalem to look for the reincarnation of one of their Lamas and which as you know lead to John and Mary’s house in the stables. It was agreed then at his birth that when Jesus was older he travelled to India to learn the teachings of Buddha. There Jesus meditated and built up his chi energy levels and hence his healing powers. Jesus preached a lot of things that his out of the street followers (his so-called disciples) could not understand. So naturally a good proportion of Jesus’ teachings got lost in translation and of course subsequent to his “death on the cross” the cardinals and priests obliterated certain texts and teachings to suit them among which is the belief in reincarnation.

Jesus dying on the cross and his eventual resurrection and rise to heaven were all his disciples’ interpretations. Jesus practice of meditations actually enabled him to endure all the piercings or nailing of his body on the cross. Through some pre-arrangements for his exit and not to trouble the Roman’s empire, he was taken out of Jerusalem to India where he lived to a very long old age and died in India. Many believe that his tomb is somewhere in Kashmir.

Over the next few years as the region around that part of India opens up to the world you will hear all those “secrets” surrounding Jesus come to be revealed.

So everything will point to the universal truth, which Buddha happened to have found it and he showed the world the way through his teachings. Jesus tried to replicate what Buddha discovered about the laws of the universe to rid oneself of the cycle of birth and rebirth by observing and practicing good deeds but Jesus’ disciples took the easy way out by telling everyone that Jesus had all that for men by taking all the sins of men by himself and all men have to do is to believe in him.
