Did Jesus learn what he knew from India ? Where was Jesus and what was he doing from ages 12-30? What happened to him after Crucifixion? Why does the Bible leave out this important information?
Jesus was a Buddhist monk. He visited India, had been to various holy places and finally to the shrine of a Buddhist monk named Achintya. Jesus said to Achintya " the place I belong to is uncivilized. they wont understand these things." Then Achintya wrote a framework and handed it to Jesus. Jesus easily molded that framework into a way today known as Christianity. After all Jesus was no more than a human. His disciples altered his preachings and concocted bible which a rational mind cannot accept. These are usually discussed in our family and were a matter of discussion in generations. You guys are aware of these things now.
Kalki Vinashak yu talk rubbish , Yeshua carried the Mark of a Nazarite from the High Priest Order of Melchizadek , they shall not comb or cut their Locks (DreadLocks) - Bhuddists shave off their Locks , Christ healed the sick , Bhudda just talk phylosophy that is obvious to anyone with a heart , Yeshua prophisied , Bhudda sit under a tree and help no one and Dalai Lama blessed the Pope of the Whore of Babylon (Roman Catholic) instead of firing them for child abuse , money laundering , hoarding riches , stirring up wars and a history of violence , Tibet was run by Aristocrats and Lamas that used the people as slaves ! Cos Bhudda a lazy richman who could afford to sit and do nothing but think , truely a false teaching with no Revelations
Actually Jesus trained with Buddhists to reach nirvana and harness his chi energy. There were no missing years, and that was cut from the Bible so those in power could keep control over the populations because they don't want us to know we all can do what he did.
Kalki Vinashak ..This is a foolish claim to say Jesus is Buddhist monk..There is no single authentic proof to claim this..There are many foolish claims about his coming to India..One such claim is he came to India and studied in Nalanda..As per historians it was founded in 5th century CE..means after 500 years of Jesus ..How Jesus will come and join as a student after 500 years of his birth..There are many foolish claim s like this and all are disproved long back..Only few people made this to get some identity and money
obviously u don't understand the teaching of the buddha dhamma. he taught how to end mental suffering, he even taught a method of practice to end suffering. buddha didn't just talk philosophy sitting under the bodhi tree. today science has confirm that meditation helps reduces stress; i haven't heard anything scientist can prove about jesus healing the sick. buddha method is an experiential way of dealing with unhappiness from emotions while we alive, not when we dead.
Yes, Jesus was away from ages 13-29 learning Buddhism. Which explains perfectly why when he began his public ministry he was known as a carpenter. Makes perfect sense.
Also in the cross he says the below according to Gospels: Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani [Mark 15:34] Eli Eli lama sabachthani [Matthew 27:46] Lama is a title for a teacher of the Dharma in Tibetan Buddhism ! THIS PROVES JESUS PREACHED ONLY BUDDHISM.
Don't know why people get annoyed when called jesus was buddhist monk .There is nothing wrong being a buddhist monk .Christianity is feeding proudness in people's mind ,that is so wrong.Ask them to feed happiness & peace instead.This proves how great was buddha's teaching
Actually Buddha was a son of rich king in India from higher caste and people of his own caste Khastriya do not believe in him. Only the Sudar ( oppressed community of India ) believe in him to save themselves from social stigma but now it is seen few people of other nations have started believing in him because they dont know the reality. Buddha was married but to gain some knowledge about the life, he left his small son and wife. Jesus Christ kept on showing His Godly character in the world with holiness , signs and wonders, Mercy and love. He is worshiped by 3 Billion people so its the difference between Buddha and Jesus
Why are you Christians all so mad about this? You get angry when people say he was Buddhist? But the bible says he was a jew! He wasn't a Christian anyways so why are you soo angry???
I don't think he was jewish buddy, the jews wanted him dead hence his crucifixion... One thing I do question is buddhist teachings are very similar to was jesus taught.
Anton Davis Buddha and Jesus are not similar teaching! friend..! Buddha teaches people to know what is the real MOURNING, SADNESS and Learn to face on the ISSUE, and try to end of new life or next life (Nirvana). Buddha teaches people to belief on own self and not PRAY for him. Buddha speech "The bad guys have their own self as the enemies...!" Let see..! the thief stole someone's properties and the finally, the thief stays in jail. Jesus teaches people to pray and believe him, and Finally, he bring to the Heaven or push to the Hell if don't believe him.
I am a Buddhist and I am so thankful to you for the BuDhamma app! You are a wonderful person for showing respect to another's faith while maintaining your own. Peace to you
this could be true, take the concept of trinity , it is equal to three jewels of Buddhism, father=Buddha, son=monk (Jesus), holy spirit=dharma(the doctrine). Christianity is a mix of Judaism and Buddhism
May be or may be not. Both did incredibly bestest best things for you guys, teaching how to love and how to BE a good man !! So be it! Being nice is good.
ive studied some religions and there seems to be a definite inner peace and knowledge in all the "prophets" or enlightend onse because they practice deep meditation,
As a devout Christian, this is truly moving. No one knows what happened to Jesus exactly after he resurrected. He clearly is the Son of God and this does nothing but further prove it. He trekked a long distance to the Buddhist Holy Lands and continued his teachings to humanity. Jesus is love and is great. God bless us all. Amen.
Buddhism does not lack higher ideals, the ultimate expression is enlightenment, true understanding of humanity and one's place in it. This is a higher ideal, perhaps the ultimate ideal achievable by humanity. To understand each other, we must understand ourselves, accept, forgive and do only good.
Ho common admit it jesus is juz a follower of buddha.. Buddha thought almost everythn in dat ancient tym .. 500 years before jesus ver born..so give sum respect n admit the fact jesus is juz a follower of buddha..buddha is supreme.. Things he thought in dat tym is nt a small thng..
Vismaya Ks If Jesus learned Buddhism ,may be he was the most stupid follower because he knew nothing of Four noble Truth and Noble Eightfold Truth. And he disobeyed the precept number 4 not to tell a lie. He lied by claiming to hear the voice of "imaginary" god.and claimed to be the son of "imaginary" god.
+Vismaya Ks ヴィスマヤさんVismaya San(honorable) 本当です Truth it is でも二人 however both 'people' teach ダルマとカルマ Dharma & Kharma 天照 Amaterasu 日本の大陽 Japan of SUN GODDESS そして therefore 友ですfriends are リチャード ★ 리차드 ★ 理查
Jesus is, in a way, original. Why shouldn't we listen to both of them? Their teachings complete each other: Buddha taught the way to overcome psychological suffering of greeding, hate and ignorance by meditation and understanding of anitta, anatta and dukkha. Jesus taught to hope the end of physical suffering by trying to change the world with love. Moreover he said that the Absolute love us. Both of they are great!

Did Jesus learn Buddhism? While preaching the gospel in the region where He was born, Jesus never mentioned about Buddhism; instead He often quoted Bible verses from the Old Testament. Further, there is no mention of Buddhism in the whole Holy Bible. He is Son of God, He is supposed to know all things. He was able to perform many miracles; He was also able to prophesy events in the future. Was Buddhism so difficulty/useful to Him that He had to learn it from mortal men? The Holy Bible says He created heavens and earth, and things on earth, including men. Did He need to learn things from the men created by Him?
Peter Lee Jesus thought that he was "a" son of God, not "the" son of god. He tried to point out to everyone else that you also are "a" son of god. Buddha thought that enlightenment is feasible for us all. Both seemed to be trying to guide us to look inside to find enlightenment, god, ultimate truth, spirit, or whatever other terms you would rather use. It's very interesting.
mam somal Jesus Christ is God; He became man in order to die for men for their sins on the cross. The Holy Bible says there is only one God (trinity God: the Holy Spirit, the Son, the Father) and there are no other gods. So all other gods are fake, or idol gods. Buddha was a mortal man; he was sinner; he did not claim to be god. His philosophy to save himself was only a human method which cannot satisfy God for the salvation; Jesus Christ is the ONLY salvation from God; there is no other method to be saved.
mam somal " You need to have an open mind. Jesus may be the son of god according to your discerning of the story. " ========= saying Jesus may be the son of god shows that you have been deceived by the devil: Jesus Christ is certainly the Son of God, that is, He is God. I certainly have an open to accept the words from God, not to have an open mind to accept words of deception from the devil. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life (eternal life).
Jesus Christ didn't learn Buddhism. He knew Buddhism. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Father taught Him all things, and through Him all things are known.
E Owens He , full filled the Vedic Texts like he did the Bible - here's a theory . Christ was in The Temple teaching and talking with The Priest in Israel at 12 , we didn't see him again , until he was 29 years old . then he went into the Dessert and fought Satan himself , he as in the Flesh was 100% man . The flesh apposes the Spirit - Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." His Spirit and Flesh would have to become one . and The only Priest in his day that would have this understanding would have been in India He didn't go there to learn per say , but that would have given him a place to become one with his spirit , and why not teach the teachers while he's there ? Mark 16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. a good teacher will never ask his pupils to do anything he's not willing to do himself .
+E Owens I wish he was taught to write some things down himself to avoid all this confusion. it would be nice to have some words written down by him or his disciples. That would have cleared up a lot. Instead we have to go on what people heard decades later.
美光伍 The Father simply said his name as Jehovah which means I Am like I said he had a 40 day and night battle with Satan coming up , his flesh was weak because he was 100% flesh . he would have to be in tune body soul and spirit .
Jason Stack, you are also a son of God. God doesn't take sides. god is as much fond of you, as he is of Jesus. only difference is, Jesus realises this and you don't.
All the teachings concerning culture,thoughts,beliefs and practices are valuable in their own ways.The important factor is that the follower of the concerned religion must follow the teachings sincerely.Although I,my self a Buddhist,I obey the teachings and doctrine of Lord Buddha,I appreciate the teachings of other religions and the appreciation of other nationalities and their culture are all noble and valuable in their own way.
["1. Right view 2. Right intention 3. Right speech 4. Right action 5. Right livelihood 6. Right effort 7. Right mindfulness 8. Right concentration"] - Buddhist Noble Eightfold Path to Enlightenment...
A young Buddhist related why he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. He said, when I was a Buddhist, it was like I was drowning in a big lake, and I didn’t know how to swim. I was going under for the third time when Buddha walked up to the edge of the lake and began to teach me how to swim. Then, Jesus walked up to the edge of the lake, dove in, swam out, rescued me, and brought me to shore. Then He taught me how to swim, so I could go back and rescue others.
I and my Father are one. John.10:30. God was manifest In the flesh. 1st.Tim.3:16. Actually the whole gospel of John Is about Who Jesus was/Is. I like these two, because one Is from the Gospels, the other from the epistles.
Buddhism is a path of practice and spiritual development leading to Insight into the true nature of life. Buddhist practices such as meditation are means of changing oneself in order to develop the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom. The experience developed within the Buddhist tradition over thousands of years has created an incomparable resource for all those who wish to follow a path - a path which ultimately culminates in Enlightenment or Buddhahood.
This would not be the end of christianity!! For he still was a great teacher that took on great suffering to make his universal message of truth live through the ages, and reach the souls living today,and he must of had divine support.....Love IS Light
Religion is a tough topic because it usually goes along with what we were taught as a child. 500 years before Christianity is really awesome, unless you won't accept anything but what you want to believe which stops the pureness of being curious. Love will prevail bless all religion
They all existed. Both were trying to bring a similar message which nobody truly understood. Instead they've begun praying to both Buddah and Jesus rather than actually following the truth they brought to this world. We are so blinded by ego that we are not even fortunate enough to take advantage of the beautiful messages they brought to our world.
Hey mate, Jesus is the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ. Knowing Christ as your saviour and following him is not a religion, it's a friendship. He loves you very much, so much that he gave his life for you, so that you may have everlasting life. Amen.
What the early Church taught and practiced and what "St." Paul did to overthrow it, are two different things. Early Christianity gave equal status to women for Church offices (they drew lots) and Roman style hierarchy was non-existent. This video is centered on Kashmir, which in those days was a major hub of Buddhist activity. There are even ancient paintings of Celtic looking Buddhist monks. Monks traveled so much further than most people realize; they were even known to have been in ancient Egypt! Having spent many years as a Catholic and studying early Church documents, I do believe that Jesus was highly influenced by Buddhism, if not directly trained as a monk. Imo, he was a Bodhisattva who came to lead those in darkness toward the light.
+Alice Anonymouse yea, early Christianity was a woman's religion. it was the way God chose to immigrate into Earth through the Mother. as a babe in the bull rushes... go and sin no more... and gone as a thief in the darkness of death, yet returning as light to the faithful... Although the native North Americans did not know Jesus they were more Christ-like than the Old Testament Chosen Jews.
Things to consider before my deciding to follow a religion: - The origin/existence of the religion's leader - Truth in the teachings: possibility to be proven in a neutral way (science). First, Look at the teachings as theories which may be true or not true. Second, prove it through facts or science. Teachings proven by truth or real evidence are likely to be true while teachings proven by theories, mouth, tradition or belief are just doubtful theories or superstitions - Most importantly, Practicalism in the teachings: benefits to my life and others' life, mental and moral values. Truth may sometimes hurt while messages of untruth may be meaningful! Hope you all - followers of any religion - have no dispute and do not insult each other. Keep yourselves mindful and Bless you!
P/S: I don't think those who do not follow Jesus are or should be or deserve to be evils. Also, I don't think those who do not follow Buddha cannot get enlightened.
I love Buddha so much because i did my research:) Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” said Buddha Metta, Peace:)
@TheBlackSolar the larger sutra "you should respect and love each other,refraining from hatred and envy,they should share things with each other,not be greedy,and miserly,always speaking freindly words with a pleaseing smile & not hurting each other"the scripture i justr stated COVERS not hurting people & going out of your way to help them which is what you JUST WROTE the bible says: "HE LOOKS UPON SENTEINT BEINGS AS HIS OWN SELF"he treats other as his own self i covered all the things u listed
Buddha never commanded anyone to worship Buddha whereas Jesus accepted worship. It is the buddhist that made him to be an idol by praying to him. Buddha was not against the pursuit of truth, even if it meant changing one's religion. In fact, he abandoned his birth religion of Hinduism and changed to a new religion known as Buddhism. Buddha was a very wise man and very open to learning and I hope buddhist of today should do the same.
Jesus is my Lord and savior; I believe he died on the cross and was resurrected; but Jesus also said that he must go and speak to other folds. Many years ago I assumed that other folds meant aliens haha (we learn as we go); but I find it most plausible that he ascended into heaven and (maybe) went to be with the monks; live off his earthy body. Jesus is more than just divine-he's a divine dimension. I'm pretty sure the creator of everything could juggle both tasks. It's what makes the most sense to me, at least as of now.
Buddha said, ‘If someone is suffering, that is his karma.’ You are not to interfere karma because he is purging himself through suffering. The only people who took care of the 300,000 were the Christians from various Christian relief organizations. In Christianity people have a basis for human value. For them, these people are of ultimate value, so valuable that Jesus Christ died for them. You find that value in no other religion, in no other philosophy, but in Jesus Christ.
Buddha,Christ, Babaji...all are teaching transcendence of ego and the Unity of Humanity...Religions are only the attempt to preserve these teachings...Peace to all, Love to all....this is the most pertinent message for humanity...don't get caught up in the scrolls..
=== Jesus is The Way === Jesus is The Way. No one reaches God except through Jesus. Surrender is the door. Surrender. Forgiveness. Love. is the door. No one reaches God except through Jesus. No one reaches God except through Surrender, forgiveness and love. Jesus is surrender. Forgiveness. Love. Jesus is Complete Surrender. Perfect Forgiveness. Unconditional Love.
Buddha and Jesus what they have in common? Is there any similarity between their teachings and works? Was Jesus a Buddhist monk? czcams.com/video/PrVugef5mG0/video.html
What this video tells, is truth. Majority of Idiot Mullahs are unable to grasp a very subtle point from centuries that *Quran never denies nailing of Jesus on Cross in Quranic verse **4:15**7, but forcefully denies his death on Cross*. History and Bible also confirm that Jesus survived death on Cross. When you tell this point to Mullahs and even to Ignorant Ph.D Mullahs; they will immediately response: O what are U talking; Quran denies his crucifixion in 4:157. But Mullahs fails to understand that *Quran does not deny his nailing on Cross but denies his Crucifixion. What is Crucifixion?* Definition of Crucifixion is "TO KILL someone after binding him or nailing him on CROSS". So it is very Clear that *DEATH on Cross is binding-Condition of Crucifixion*. If some one is nailed on Cross and was removed from Cross before his death; the Truest statement will be: "Though he has been attempted to Crucify but is NOT CRUCIFIED. When we translate NOT CRUCIFIED into Arabic; its words will be "WA MA SALABU"; and that are the exact words which appear in Quranic verse 4:157. Mullah again mislead Ignorant Muslims when they translate verse 4:158. This verse uses word *RAFA* which mean TO RAISE in honor, spiritual exaltation, and never to raise to heavens physically. Quranic Verses 3:144, 3:55, and 5:116-117 make very clear that thu Jesus did not die on Cross but died at very old age (Kahlan) naturally. It is common practice of Idiotic Mullahs that, when U tell them Truth of Quran and history; they will immediately label U a Qadiani. But truth is; that thu Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani was an impostor but majority of Mullahs are much bigger liars than even Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani. So far we have discussed idiot Mullahs; and let we discuss now fraudulent Church. If we read 4 Gospels of today of Mark Mathew Luke and John; you will read story of Physical ascension and return of Jesus. But when we read with our own eyes each line of above-mentioned 4 Gospels of 4th Century; we did not find even ANY TINY NANO trace of any ascension and return of Jesus in any gospel. That clearly proves; that Bibles has been heavily corrupted, and Church added this fiction of ascension and return, centuries later in Bibles. This also proves that Bibles are not reliable Books at all. Never trust all quotation from Bibles. *When we dig deep;* we know that after landing of Quran in 7th century; People started to convert to Islam at high speed. That made Church very upset. They finally planned to add fiction of ascension and Return of Jesus in Gospel of Mark in order to show converts that Christianity is superior to Islam. Missionary were telling, new converts, LOOK: Mohammad is on ground but Jesus is sitting alive on the right hand of GOD in heavens. Later other Gospels writers copied that fiction from Gospel of Mark. Besides; during Abbasid Period from 750-1258 A.D; Church also manged to forge many many hadiths and blended in Hadith Books that today Idiot Mullahs and their pets follow blindly. Books of Hadith-Crap were forged 250-400 years after the death of Prophet Mohammad by Persian Imams who were in fact Zoroastrian hypocrites, and their Books are heap of fabricated lies. *When Prophet Mohammad died; he left behind nothing except written Quran*. *Now it was turn of our Idiot Persian Pseudo Mullahs to counter fiction of Church* that is already mentioned above. Persian Pseudo Mullahs (Half Zoroastrians and half Muslims) hunted two birds with one arrow. They forged hadith of Miraaj (Night Journey of Prophet Mohammad) in which they show that Prophet Mohammad was riding on a mysterious flying donkey labeled as Boraaq, and that flying donkey was proceeding to heavens so that Prophet could have meeting with GOD. Now Mullahs could answer Christian Missionaries that if Jesus is gone up and then Mohammad is also gone up for a meeting with GOD. It was kind a car-race between Mullahs and Church. Please note, there is no any such flying donkey mentioned in BOOK OF GOD "Quran'. Sura Asra and Najam of Quran only points to night Journey of Prophet from Mecca to Madina . Masjid Aqsa in Sura Asra mean REMOTE MOSQUE. That remote mosque at that time was no where but in Madina. Aqsa-mosque in Palestine was built many years after the death of Prophet by Omayyad caliphs. During that invention of Hadith of Miraaj, Persian Imams also blended 5 Zoroastrian Rituals in Hadith of Miraaj and told Muslims; Prophet has brought 5 Rituals from GOD during his meeting with GOD in heavens. Please note that Quran ordains to Establish Salaat mean Divine System, and never 5 daily rituals. *In order to read THE BEST SCHOLARLY page on the complete life of Jesus from his birth to his death; please Google following line:* *How Paul deceived True Followers of Prophet Isa Jesus*
Hindu Siddhartha felt that Hinduism had lost its true essence by the incorporation of thousands of gods, represented by Idols. In his attempts to reform, he renounced gods, he felt the concept of gods was holding people bound to world of karma and suffering. What is so interesting is how idolatry, which Buddha was condemned, has become such a major part of Buddhism, with its many shrines and statues of Buddha, the very one who loathed them. For these many people, Buddha has become their god !!!
I am a Buddhist. This particular documentary lead me to read the bible, and I did!!! All I want to say that, how can any human who have read the bible not see how misleading the bible is. As I see it, you don't have to dig this tomb to disprove the bible or Christianity. But Science has already given the answer. But people are too blind to see it.
truth is buddhism is the only religion which has a logic.i never mean others are bad,but here in buddhism it never depend on god concepts or creaters but on mind power & on your self.you are accountable to yourself .no one can wash your sins
You could make a really nice chain with them - begin with Hinduism, then Buddhism stems from it, Buddhism meets with Judaism to form Christianity, then Islam stems from Christianity and finally, Islam meets with Hinduism to become Sikhism.
@JesusDiedforMe01 "Who do people say I am?" This was the question that Jesus asked his disciples. Their reply was that people were saying he was one of the Old Testament prophets "raised from the dead." Considering that the Last Judgment and the Resurrection of the Dead had not occurred, this begs the question, "What did they mean by "raised from the dead?"
Jesus Christ was the son of God, nobody is saying he wasn't. The truth is, we are all the sons and daughters of God. Jesus reached a level of consciousness far superior to ours. Which was why he could heal others. He was on a whole other level of spirituality. God is one being, and we are part of god.
Actually Buddha was a son of rich king in India from higher caste and people of his own caste Khastriya do not believe in him. Only the Sudar ( oppressed community of India ) believe in him to save themselves from social stigma but now it is seen few people of other nations have started believing in him because they dont know the reality. Buddha was married but to gain some knowledge about the life, he left his small son and wife. Jesus Christ kept on showing His Godly character in the world with holiness , signs and wonders, Mercy and love. He is worshiped by 3 Billion people so its the difference between Buddha and Jesus
I was a Tibetan Buddhist living in a Buddhist community, now I am a Christian, one day in Jan 2009 I was born again through the Holy Spirit. It was totally unexpected and unlooked for. I had no interest or respect for "evangelical" Christianity. Many people say that Jesus' message is the same as all other religious/spiritual teachers, but what is this conclusion based on? its pure assumption. This assumption is easily made when people don't really know what Jesus full teaching is/was because they haven't taken the time to read the New Testament. How can anyone make judgements about the Buddha if they don't know what are the doctrines that the Buddha taught? For starters, Buddha taught that individual self- hood (the experience being a "person" -me) is a 100% illusion and doesn';t correspond to reality, also our physical existence is illusion. The realisation of "annatta" ( no-self), is the fundamental attainment that causes the cessation of samsaric existence. When this is attained, individuality, and the (illusion) 0f material creation ceases to exist, (Nirvana). Jesus teaches that YHWH is the one true God, according to this God (and Jesus): individual personhood is not an illusion, but we really are individual personalities because God is an individual person and we are made in his image. The end state/goal of Christianity is the receiving of an immortal physical body and the preservation of each individual person for eternity in order to have fellowship/relationship with a personal God (it takes two people to have a relationship)in a renewed and perfected material creation, The end of Buddhism is the total dissolution of personality into an undifferentiated, impersonal “oneness” which is immaterial. How can these 2 accounts of spiritual reality both be correct? From the Biblical perspective the Buddhist goal to systematically and irreversibly transcend personhood is an attempt to destroy the image of God in us, and to eliminate the creature that God created. It’s like spiritual suicide. Buddha says suffering (Dukkha) is rooted in the illusion of self - in other words, having personhood IS the problem: evil is an inseperable effect of personhood. But Jesus affirms YHWH who says that human personhood is the greatest and most valuable creation of God, the problem is sin, Which perverts and defiles the person and THIS is the cause of suffering - as it seperates us from the life of God. This problem of sin was dealt with by God by “sending His son, in the likeness of sinful man, to be an offering for sin and so condemning (ending the defiling problem of sin) in man “ Romans 8. faith in Jesus and his atoning sacrifice on our behalf and for our sin is the only condition for our renewal to an immortal sin free, suffering free future existence as individual people. Although there are commonalities between |Buddhism ad Christianity with regard to ethical/moral conduct, the fundamental contradictions of doctrine should not be ignored. Jesus himself says “ whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father” John 8? and “if you hold to my teaching you are really my disciples, then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free” John 8:31?. anyone committed to a Buddhist belief system and practice does not honour the Son or hold to his teaching, as they would have to deny that what Jesus teaches is true or trustworthy.If faith In Christ is the means to salvation, Buddhists don’t have faith in Christ or in what he teaches. Jesus says in John that people’s eternal future depends on whether or not they believe his testimony and accept him as the unique Christ of God. Its heavy stuff I know, but there it is, - read the Gospels , especially John. And also the apostle’s teaching; they explain and expound the full meaning of what’s in the Gospels - he commanded them to do this very thing (Luke 24/ Matthew 28). People say “ but that’s not Jesus”, in fact Jesus says that whatever the apostles teach IS HIM speaking through them by the Holy Spirit, so if you believe Jesus speaks the truth then you must believe the apostles do too. That’s why He says about the disciples “ whoever rejects your message rejects me and whoever accepts your message accepts me”. People also say that Jesus never said anything about him dying for people’s sins. This is not true, he plainly teaches this in all four gospels. Jesus teaches that no one can see or enter the "kingdom of God" unless he is born again of the spirit. (John 3) there is in Buddhism , if you look further into scriptures to find out what is the nature and effects of this new birth, you will find that there is no reference or knowledge within Buddhism of the very thing which Jesus says is essential for eternal life. I can testify that what Jesus says about the new birth is true and that it is totally supernatural, involving no spiritual or other effort effort on our part. It happens when you hear and believe "the word of the Son of man" (John 5) for me , I had no conscious involvment in it at all, it was all a total shock, but it changed my life forever. PRAISE GOD!! I was hopelessly and horibly lost despite pursuing Buddhist and other (meditation based) practices for nearly 20 years.
There's nothing wrong with Jesus Christ and his beautiful teachings. He will always be the role model I follow. And to those who do not understand the great wisdom in the Bible, and to the blind Christians who take the words in the Bible literally; I feel sorry for both of you. There is no heaven or hell, death, kingdom of heaven or judgment day, etc. These are all metaphors to much deeper wisdom. Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
This information would turn the Christian world ontop of its head. And the majority of them would dismiss it and consider it blasphemy, but I believe it to be the truth.
If that was Jesus' tomb it wouldn't destroy all Christianity because he said "The kingdom of heaven will not come in such a way as to be seen." "The kingdom of heaven is within you."
Buddhism seems to be more of a way of mind than a religion. It has been very influential for Western psychology. Unlike other traditions labeled "religion" there is no deity in Buddhism. What seems, at my naive state, is that the ultimate goal in Buddhism, of nirvana, results in a sort of benign anesthesia, rather than any sort of real fulfillment of human potential.
Which in Biblical terms is sin... To hate, to have greed etc... Jesus said love your neighbour and said it's easier for a camel to fit through an eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter heaven.. So yeah I agree with you on that one.. Greed, hatred etc... forms of sin. Sin creates suffering..
Very interseting but there's no-way anyone would have survived a Roman crucifiction, they were experts. Sound more reasonable to think it was one of his followers who went out to all parts of the world after the dispersal from jerusulem (50-70 AD) and the story has got a bit confused. That might be less fun to believe but far more plausible.
except that crucifixions lasted days and Jesus "died" within 6 hours. There's a longer version of this documentary that suggests that when Jesus asked for water that they wet a rag with a drug that made him appear to be dead and was just unconscious then later awoke in the tomb and... well... left :)
I think that's complete bullshit and this documentary is just theorizing so don't take any of this as fact. Why would the Romans give him a drug so he could survive? The whole point of crucifixion is to kill you. Period. They wanted Jesus dead. He died within 6 hours because he was flogged half to death and was bleeding to death from his wounds, the human body can only take so much with that much trauma. The other ones lasted for days because they weren't flogged like that therefore they would last longer because there isn't that much damage to the body. I don't think very many people think that one through.
Every year Christ went to Jerusalem for the feast from Nazareth where he lived,how did he find time to WALK to and from India? And also as the Son of God he didn,t need to learn off anyone except to observe the ways of mankind around him,and study The Torah,as if he needed to because he is a prophet ,builder,teacher,evangalist and pastor to his people
I love this interpretation of Jesus because it shows that religion is a transformative thing that relies on culture and interpretation and change. As Hinduism changed, it spawned Buddhism because Hinduism couldn't help a certain group of people. Judaism may have mixed with Buddhism to spawn Christianity and from Christianity may have come Islam. Isn't it beautiful that people yearn to find their spiritual path in life.
Let us each have our own beliefs, and not be criticized for them. Truth is, nobody can know for sure the answers to such metaphysical and existential questions about life and death, or what our purpose here truly is. However, I do know that if we believe in something transcendent, beyond ourselves, our lives will no doubt be more fulfilling.
Buddhism is all about how to be happy, wise and free from all the kinds of bad things that you don't want. Just being fanatic religious without exploring is the greatest tragedy of human.
your Buddhism has you accountable to yourself in a positive way which is fine, but it's tragic that without a positive focus on the higher ideals people without much mind power a being accountable to themselves in the most basic ways, not worrying to much about being sinful at all.
You fight for Buddha, you fight for Jesus….stop fighting!!!! this is what they said….. stop the war! compassion and wisdom, no? let's try to bring peace on earth for a change.
@ftperror Tell me what are the characteristics and qualifications needed to be called as a god? Thousand apologies for the misunderstanding there. To my understanding, God is holy, divine and a Spirit. Therefore one must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
There are many things Jesus says which are nearly word for word from more ancient Buddhist writings. When I saw this I was very surprised but it's true.
why will the rabbi need a teacher ... he created the whole universe and he's Jesus ... he's the alpha the omega the beginning and the end ...He lives and He will ever live until the end of the world ... his words will never change ...
actually, if you think about it, it may be possible that Jesus, as a carpenter's son, went with his Dad to markets far and wide to sell their wares, (maybe boxes and furniture made from the fragrant woods found in the holy lands). There they could have come into contact with people traveling the old 'Silk Road', from the far East, with goods to exchange, and idea's also. It's not so incredible is it? Perhaps, just perhaps, it could have happened, because Buddhism and Christianity do share a lot.
I never implied that Buddhism was older than Judaism. I said 'Buddhism MEETS with Judaism' to form Christianity. The same way that Islam MEETS Hinduism to form Sikhism. Hope that clears the confusion. Peace.
Just because one of His messages does not correlate with the teachings of Buddha, does not mean he did not travel to India where he may've surrounded himself with teachers of other faiths... But whether He did go to India or did not go to India, why would that affect whether one should accept Him or not?
@JesusDiedforMe01 They were not talking about resurrection because the orthodox Christian doctrine of resurrection originated with the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism and this doctrine holds that corpses do not crawl out of their graves until the Last Judgment and the End of Days.
And if there is no God,then why is there so much good in this world?However,many of us take a spiritually irresponsible stance when bad things happen in our lives.we think everything is God's plan.Thankfully God is good and very gracious so He can make good come out of bad situation but that doesnt mean it was His will for it to happen in the first place Ephesians 5:17"Therefore do not be unwise but understand what the will of the Lord is",,,,Praise the Lord forever.He is the Truth.. amen
@JesusDiedforMe01 The Christian Gnostics also believed that Roman orthodoxy (which was based primarily on Pauline Christianity rather than the Christianity taught by Peter and James) held a definition of "resurrection" which was a vulgarization and a misinterpretation of the mysteries of Christ which he taught only to the apostles and not the public at large.
To all Buddha worshippers,Buddha loves Human being but did he loves the Supreme Being?How does he show it?by living a beggars life?without worshipping Allah will make you closer to Heaven?
jesus had some good saying but many of them were already said by buddha jesus also said he didnt come to make peace but a sword i also read a gospel where jesus was ruthless and had a relationship weith mary magadelene
this is pretty cool! It would be obvious that two peaceful beliefs would be connected somehow! (I'm an open minded intelligent Christian btw)! 😉😇😺💙💜💗💖💕💞
I'm wrong? New Oxford American Dictionary definition: a particular system of faith and worship. Webster's definition: commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance. Or even better, Webster's second definition: a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices. Yes there's a definition that focuses on belief in an all-powerful creator deity, but there are multiple definitions to a word for a reason. You can't pick just one and then call me wrong.
Everyone is so sure they know "the truth", and yet everyone comes to slightly different conclusions, dismissing the smaller discrepancies as human disagreements or flaws and ignoring or otherwise lambasting the larger differences. Is it so hard to humble oneself and allow for the possibility that "I don't know"?
Jesus was a Buddhist monk. He visited India, had been to various holy places and finally to the shrine of a Buddhist monk named Achintya. Jesus said to Achintya " the place I belong to is uncivilized. they wont understand these things." Then Achintya wrote a framework and handed it to Jesus. Jesus easily molded that framework into a way today known as Christianity. After all Jesus was no more than a human. His disciples altered his preachings and concocted bible which a rational mind cannot accept. These are usually discussed in our family and were a matter of discussion in generations. You guys are aware of these things now.
Kalki Vinashak interesting
Kalki Vinashak yu talk rubbish , Yeshua carried the Mark of a Nazarite from the High Priest Order of Melchizadek , they shall not comb or cut their Locks (DreadLocks) - Bhuddists shave off their Locks , Christ healed the sick , Bhudda just talk phylosophy that is obvious to anyone with a heart , Yeshua prophisied , Bhudda sit under a tree and help no one and Dalai Lama blessed the Pope of the Whore of Babylon (Roman Catholic) instead of firing them for child abuse , money laundering , hoarding riches , stirring up wars and a history of violence , Tibet was run by Aristocrats and Lamas that used the people as slaves ! Cos Bhudda a lazy richman who could afford to sit and do nothing but think , truely a false teaching with no Revelations
Actually Jesus trained with Buddhists to reach nirvana and harness his chi energy. There were no missing years, and that was cut from the Bible so those in power could keep control over the populations because they don't want us to know we all can do what he did.
Kalki Vinashak ..This is a foolish claim to say Jesus is Buddhist monk..There is no single authentic proof to claim this..There are many foolish claims about his coming to India..One such claim is he came to India and studied in Nalanda..As per historians it was founded in 5th century CE..means after 500 years of Jesus ..How Jesus will come and join as a student after 500 years of his birth..There are many foolish claim s like this and all are disproved long back..Only few people made this to get some identity and money
obviously u don't understand the teaching of the buddha dhamma. he taught how to end mental suffering, he even taught a method of practice to end suffering. buddha didn't just talk philosophy sitting under the bodhi tree. today science has confirm that meditation helps reduces stress; i haven't heard anything scientist can prove about jesus healing the sick. buddha method is an experiential way of dealing with unhappiness from emotions while we alive, not when we dead.
Yes, Jesus was away from ages 13-29 learning Buddhism. Which explains perfectly why when he began his public ministry he was known as a carpenter. Makes perfect sense.
Also in the cross he says the below according to Gospels:
Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani [Mark 15:34]
Eli Eli lama sabachthani [Matthew 27:46]
Lama is a title for a teacher of the Dharma in Tibetan Buddhism !
THIS PROVES JESUS PREACHED ONLY BUDDHISM.
the Son of God needs nothing from man....Jesus wherever he was he did teaching....JESUS created all things ,,,,,did not need the folly of men !
Jason Stack pride will be your downfall.

Don't know why people get annoyed when called jesus was buddhist monk .There is nothing wrong being a buddhist monk .Christianity is feeding proudness in people's mind ,that is so wrong.Ask them to feed happiness & peace instead.This proves how great was buddha's teaching
Actually Buddha was a son of rich king in India from higher caste and people of his own caste Khastriya do not believe in him. Only the Sudar ( oppressed community of India ) believe in him to save themselves from social stigma but now it is seen few people of other nations have started believing in him because they dont know the reality. Buddha was married but to gain some knowledge about the life, he left his small son and wife. Jesus Christ kept on showing His Godly character in the world with holiness , signs and wonders, Mercy and love. He is worshiped by 3 Billion people so its the difference between Buddha and Jesus
Nothing is better. Though we only believe in one only.
Exactly. I love Buddha and I love Brother Christ.
Why are you Christians all so mad about this? You get angry when people say he was Buddhist? But the bible says he was a jew! He wasn't a Christian anyways so why are you soo angry???
all Christian Missionary needs to be waterboarding with a terrorist at Guantanamo bay.
I don't think he was jewish buddy, the jews wanted him dead hence his crucifixion... One thing I do question is buddhist teachings are very similar to was jesus taught.
+Anton Davis
Jesus said he came only for the Jews, he said he's a descendant of David
Anton Davis
Buddha and Jesus are not similar teaching! friend..!
Buddha teaches people to know what is the real MOURNING, SADNESS and Learn to face on the ISSUE, and try to end of new life or next life (Nirvana). Buddha teaches people to belief on own self and not PRAY for him.
Buddha speech "The bad guys have their own self as the enemies...!"
Let see..! the thief stole someone's properties and the finally, the thief stays in jail.
Jesus teaches people to pray and believe him, and Finally, he bring to the Heaven or push to the Hell if don't believe him.
They are ignorant fools.
I am a Buddhist and I am so thankful to you for the BuDhamma app!
You are a wonderful person for showing respect to another's faith while maintaining your own. Peace to you
this could be true, take the concept of trinity , it is equal to three jewels of Buddhism, father=Buddha, son=monk (Jesus), holy spirit=dharma(the doctrine). Christianity is a mix of Judaism and Buddhism
You understand. Thank you. Beother Christ and Buddha the Father. The Dharmakaya is the Holy Spirit within us all. It is Buddha Nature.
May be or may be not. Both did incredibly bestest best things for you guys, teaching how to love and how to BE a good man !! So be it! Being nice is good.
ive studied some religions and there seems to be a definite inner peace and knowledge in all the "prophets" or enlightend onse because they practice deep meditation,
As a devout Christian, this is truly moving. No one knows what happened to Jesus exactly after he resurrected. He clearly is the Son of God and this does nothing but further prove it. He trekked a long distance to the Buddhist Holy Lands and continued his teachings to humanity. Jesus is love and is great. God bless us all. Amen.
Buddhism does not lack higher ideals, the ultimate expression is enlightenment, true understanding of humanity and one's place in it. This is a higher ideal, perhaps the ultimate ideal achievable by humanity. To understand each other, we must understand ourselves, accept, forgive and do only good.
Buddhism is not a religion its taught behavior

vades is superior to bhuda and Jesus incranated the word that was there from the beginning=AUMa=OOMM...eg.IAM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH ect.....
Jesus is, in a way, original. Why shouldn't we listen to both of them? Their teachings complete each other:
Buddha taught the way to overcome psychological suffering of greeding, hate and ignorance by meditation and understanding of anitta, anatta and dukkha.
Jesus taught to hope the end of physical suffering by trying to change the world with love. Moreover he said that the Absolute love us. Both of they are great!

"Truth is one, but wise is the one who gives It several names"
Don't know much bout buddhism but wow gonna watch the doc on this. Looks very interesting thanks for putting it up.
Did Jesus learn Buddhism?
While preaching the gospel in the region where He was born, Jesus never mentioned about Buddhism; instead He often quoted Bible verses from the Old Testament. Further, there is no mention of Buddhism in the whole Holy Bible. He is Son of God, He is supposed to know all things. He was able to perform many miracles; He was also able to prophesy events in the future. Was Buddhism so difficulty/useful to Him that He had to learn it from mortal men? The Holy Bible says He created heavens and earth, and things on earth, including men. Did He need to learn things from the men created by Him?
Jesus Christ is Son of God; He is omniscient (knowing everything). it is a deception that He went to India to learn Buddhism
Peter Lee Jesus thought that he was "a" son of God, not "the" son of god. He tried to point out to everyone else that you also are "a" son of god. Buddha thought that enlightenment is feasible for us all. Both seemed to be trying to guide us to look inside to find enlightenment, god, ultimate truth, spirit, or whatever other terms you would rather use. It's very interesting.
mam somal Jesus Christ is God; He became man in order to die for men for their sins on the cross. The Holy Bible says there is only one God (trinity God: the Holy Spirit, the Son, the Father) and there are no other gods. So all other gods are fake, or idol gods.
Buddha was a mortal man; he was sinner; he did not claim to be god. His philosophy to save himself was only a human method which cannot satisfy God for the salvation; Jesus Christ is the ONLY salvation from God; there is no other method to be saved.
Peter Lee You need to have an open mind. Jesus may be the son of god according to your discerning of the story.
mam somal " You need to have an open mind. Jesus may be the son of god according to your discerning of the story. "
=========
saying Jesus may be the son of god shows that you have been deceived by the devil: Jesus Christ is certainly the Son of God, that is, He is God. I certainly have an open to accept the words from God, not to have an open mind to accept words of deception from the devil. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life (eternal life).
Jesus Christ didn't learn Buddhism. He knew Buddhism. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Father taught Him all things, and through Him all things are known.
E Owens He , full filled the Vedic Texts like he did the Bible - here's a theory . Christ was in The Temple teaching and talking with The Priest in Israel at 12 , we didn't see him again , until he was 29 years old . then he went into the Dessert and fought Satan himself , he as in the Flesh was 100% man . The flesh apposes the Spirit - Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." His Spirit and Flesh would have to become one . and The only Priest in his day that would have this understanding would have been in India He didn't go there to learn per say , but that would have given him a place to become one with his spirit , and why not teach the teachers while he's there ? Mark 16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. a good teacher will never ask his pupils to do anything he's not willing to do himself .
+E Owens I wish he was taught to write some things down himself to avoid all this confusion. it would be nice to have some words written down by him or his disciples. That would have cleared up a lot. Instead we have to go on what people heard decades later.
All things except how to write, that's crazy. Smh there's Egyptian gods more powerful than Jesus. They actually had gods of writing! Lmao
美光伍 The Father simply said his name as Jehovah which means I Am like I said he had a 40 day and night battle with Satan coming up , his flesh was weak because he was 100% flesh . he would have to be in tune body soul and spirit .
+sindessa orellia 40 days and nights... just like the noahs ark story. hmmmmmm lmao

Jason Stack Jesus, son of bitch
Jonas E stupid
Jason Stack, you are also a son of God. God doesn't take sides. god is as much fond of you, as he is of Jesus. only difference is, Jesus realises this and you don't.
All the teachings concerning culture,thoughts,beliefs and practices are valuable in their own ways.The important factor is that the follower of the concerned religion must follow the teachings sincerely.Although I,my self a Buddhist,I obey the teachings and doctrine of Lord Buddha,I appreciate the teachings of other religions and the appreciation of other nationalities and their culture are all noble and valuable in their own way.

I am a Christian and this is really interesting.
A young Buddhist related why he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. He said, when I was a Buddhist, it was like I was drowning in a big lake, and I didn’t know how to swim. I was going under for the third time when Buddha walked up to the edge of the lake and began to teach me how to swim. Then, Jesus walked up to the edge of the lake, dove in, swam out, rescued me, and brought me to shore. Then He taught me how to swim, so I could go back and rescue others.
May all beings beings be free troubles physically and mentally.May all beings protect their own happiness.May all beings be happy.
I and my Father are one. John.10:30. God was manifest In the flesh. 1st.Tim.3:16. Actually the whole gospel of John Is about Who Jesus was/Is. I like these two, because one Is from the Gospels, the other from the epistles.
Buddhism is a path of practice and spiritual development leading to Insight into the true nature of life. Buddhist practices such as meditation are means of changing oneself in order to develop the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom. The experience developed within the Buddhist tradition over thousands of years has created an incomparable resource for all those who wish to follow a path - a path which ultimately culminates in Enlightenment or Buddhahood.
This would not be the end of christianity!! For he still was a great teacher that took on great suffering to make his universal message of truth live through the ages, and reach the souls living today,and he must of had divine support.....Love IS Light
truth...Jesus is the Living Christ. He is the Author and Perfector of our faith. may your return be swift Lord Jesus.
Religion is a tough topic because it usually goes along with what we were taught as a child. 500 years before Christianity is really awesome, unless you won't accept anything but what you want to believe which stops the pureness of being curious. Love will prevail bless all religion
They all existed. Both were trying to bring a similar message which nobody truly understood. Instead they've begun praying to both Buddah and Jesus rather than actually following the truth they brought to this world. We are so blinded by ego that we are not even fortunate enough to take advantage of the beautiful messages they brought to our world.
Hey mate, Jesus is the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ. Knowing Christ as your saviour and following him is not a religion, it's a friendship. He loves you very much, so much that he gave his life for you, so that you may have everlasting life. Amen.
An amazing find right here!!! Never heard about this till now. Can't wait to have my religious debates with the guys at work lol
What the early Church taught and practiced and what "St." Paul did to overthrow it, are two different things. Early Christianity gave equal status to women for Church offices (they drew lots) and Roman style hierarchy was non-existent. This video is centered on Kashmir, which in those days was a major hub of Buddhist activity. There are even ancient paintings of Celtic looking Buddhist monks. Monks traveled so much further than most people realize; they were even known to have been in ancient Egypt! Having spent many years as a Catholic and studying early Church documents, I do believe that Jesus was highly influenced by Buddhism, if not directly trained as a monk. Imo, he was a Bodhisattva who came to lead those in darkness toward the light.
+Alice Anonymouse yea, early Christianity was a woman's religion. it was the way God chose to immigrate into Earth through the Mother. as a babe in the bull rushes... go and sin no more... and gone as a thief in the darkness of death, yet returning as light to the faithful... Although the native North Americans did not know Jesus they were more Christ-like than the Old Testament Chosen Jews.
Things to consider before my deciding to follow a religion:
- The origin/existence of the religion's leader
- Truth in the teachings: possibility to be proven in a neutral way (science). First, Look at the teachings as theories which may be true or not true. Second, prove it through facts or science. Teachings proven by truth or real evidence are likely to be true while teachings proven by theories, mouth, tradition or belief are just doubtful theories or superstitions
- Most importantly, Practicalism in the teachings: benefits to my life and others' life, mental and moral values. Truth may sometimes hurt while messages of untruth may be meaningful!
Hope you all - followers of any religion - have no dispute and do not insult each other. Keep yourselves mindful and Bless you!
P/S: I don't think those who do not follow Jesus are or should be or deserve to be evils. Also, I don't think those who do not follow Buddha cannot get enlightened.
I love Buddha so much because i did my research:)
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” said Buddha
Metta, Peace:)
The question that leads Christians into shock
I love Buddhism. Buddha may not love human beings, but surely he did the best for the humans.
Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father trought by him. JESUS IS LORD AND THE ONLY SAVIOR.
@tushomevideos Good job! Before I am Christian missionary. But now I changed to Buddhist. I like Buddhism.
Buddha can't heal other people but he can heal people minds.
@TheBlackSolar the larger sutra "you should respect and love each other,refraining from hatred and envy,they should share things with each other,not be greedy,and miserly,always speaking freindly words with a pleaseing smile & not hurting each other"the scripture i justr stated COVERS not hurting people & going out of your way to help them which is what you JUST WROTE the bible says:
"HE LOOKS UPON SENTEINT BEINGS AS HIS OWN SELF"he treats other as his own self i covered all the things u listed
Buddha never commanded anyone to worship Buddha whereas Jesus accepted worship. It is the buddhist that made him to be an idol by praying to him. Buddha was not against the pursuit of truth, even if it meant changing one's religion. In fact, he abandoned his birth religion of Hinduism and changed to a new religion known as Buddhism. Buddha was a very wise man and very open to learning and I hope buddhist of today should do the same.
Jesus is my Lord and savior; I believe he died on the cross and was resurrected; but Jesus also said that he must go and speak to other folds. Many years ago I assumed that other folds meant aliens haha (we learn as we go); but I find it most plausible that he ascended into heaven and (maybe) went to be with the monks; live off his earthy body. Jesus is more than just divine-he's a divine dimension. I'm pretty sure the creator of everything could juggle both tasks. It's what makes the most sense to me, at least as of now.
Buddha said, ‘If someone is suffering, that is his karma.’ You are not to interfere karma because he is purging himself through suffering. The only people who took care of the 300,000 were the Christians from various Christian relief organizations. In Christianity people have a basis for human value. For them, these people are of ultimate value, so valuable that Jesus Christ died for them. You find that value in no other religion, in no other philosophy, but in Jesus Christ.
for all : come and see Buddhism. it's not a religion, it's the truth about us and everything.
Buddha,Christ, Babaji...all are teaching transcendence of ego and the Unity of Humanity...Religions are only the attempt to preserve these teachings...Peace to all, Love to all....this is the most pertinent message for humanity...don't get caught up in the scrolls..
True!! I believe he learn a lot from Buddha teaching before he become who he is now
=== Jesus is The Way ===
Jesus is The Way. No one reaches God except through Jesus.

Buddha and Jesus what they have in common? Is there any similarity between their teachings and works? Was Jesus a Buddhist monk?
czcams.com/video/PrVugef5mG0/video.html
What this video tells, is truth. Majority of Idiot Mullahs are unable to grasp a very subtle point from centuries that *Quran never denies nailing of Jesus on Cross in Quranic verse **4:15**7, but forcefully denies his death on Cross*. History and Bible also confirm that Jesus survived death on Cross. When you tell this point to Mullahs and even to Ignorant Ph.D Mullahs; they will immediately response: O what are U talking; Quran denies his crucifixion in 4:157. But Mullahs fails to understand that *Quran does not deny his nailing on Cross but denies his Crucifixion. What is Crucifixion?* Definition of Crucifixion is "TO KILL someone after binding him or nailing him on CROSS". So it is very Clear that *DEATH on Cross is binding-Condition of Crucifixion*. If some one is nailed on Cross and was removed from Cross before his death; the Truest statement will be: "Though he has been attempted to Crucify but is NOT CRUCIFIED. When we translate NOT CRUCIFIED into Arabic; its words will be "WA MA SALABU"; and that are the exact words which appear in Quranic verse 4:157. Mullah again mislead Ignorant Muslims when they translate verse 4:158. This verse uses word *RAFA* which mean TO RAISE in honor, spiritual exaltation, and never to raise to heavens physically. Quranic Verses 3:144, 3:55, and 5:116-117 make very clear that thu Jesus did not die on Cross but died at very old age (Kahlan) naturally.
It is common practice of Idiotic Mullahs that, when U tell them Truth of Quran and history; they will immediately label U a Qadiani. But truth is; that thu Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani was an impostor but majority of Mullahs are much bigger liars than even Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani.
So far we have discussed idiot Mullahs; and let we discuss now fraudulent Church. If we read 4 Gospels of today of Mark Mathew Luke and John; you will read story of Physical ascension and return of Jesus. But when we read with our own eyes each line of above-mentioned 4 Gospels of 4th Century; we did not find even ANY TINY NANO trace of any ascension and return of Jesus in any gospel. That clearly proves; that Bibles has been heavily corrupted, and Church added this fiction of ascension and return, centuries later in Bibles. This also proves that Bibles are not reliable Books at all. Never trust all quotation from Bibles.
*When we dig deep;* we know that after landing of Quran in 7th century; People started to convert to Islam at high speed. That made Church very upset. They finally planned to add fiction of ascension and Return of Jesus in Gospel of Mark in order to show converts that Christianity is superior to Islam. Missionary were telling, new converts, LOOK: Mohammad is on ground but Jesus is sitting alive on the right hand of GOD in heavens. Later other Gospels writers copied that fiction from Gospel of Mark. Besides; during Abbasid Period from 750-1258 A.D; Church also manged to forge many many hadiths and blended in Hadith Books that today Idiot Mullahs and their pets follow blindly. Books of Hadith-Crap were forged 250-400 years after the death of Prophet Mohammad by Persian Imams who were in fact Zoroastrian hypocrites, and their Books are heap of fabricated lies. *When Prophet Mohammad died; he left behind nothing except written Quran*.
*Now it was turn of our Idiot Persian Pseudo Mullahs to counter fiction of Church* that is already mentioned above. Persian Pseudo Mullahs (Half Zoroastrians and half Muslims) hunted two birds with one arrow. They forged hadith of Miraaj (Night Journey of Prophet Mohammad) in which they show that Prophet Mohammad was riding on a mysterious flying donkey labeled as Boraaq, and that flying donkey was proceeding to heavens so that Prophet could have meeting with GOD. Now Mullahs could answer Christian Missionaries that if Jesus is gone up and then Mohammad is also gone up for a meeting with GOD. It was kind a car-race between Mullahs and Church. Please note, there is no any such flying donkey mentioned in BOOK OF GOD "Quran'. Sura Asra and Najam of Quran only points to night Journey of Prophet from Mecca to Madina . Masjid Aqsa in Sura Asra mean REMOTE MOSQUE. That remote mosque at that time was no where but in Madina. Aqsa-mosque in Palestine was built many years after the death of Prophet by Omayyad caliphs. During that invention of Hadith of Miraaj, Persian Imams also blended 5 Zoroastrian Rituals in Hadith of Miraaj and told Muslims; Prophet has brought 5 Rituals from GOD during his meeting with GOD in heavens. Please note that Quran ordains to Establish Salaat mean Divine System, and never 5 daily rituals.

God is the beginning and the end. There is no before or after. As a buddhist you should understand this better than most western Christians.
Hindu Siddhartha felt that Hinduism had lost its true essence by the incorporation of thousands of gods, represented by Idols. In his attempts to reform, he renounced gods, he felt the concept of gods was holding people bound to world of karma and suffering. What is so interesting is how idolatry, which Buddha was condemned, has become such a major part of Buddhism, with its many shrines and statues of Buddha, the very one who loathed them. For these many people, Buddha has become their god !!!
I am a Buddhist. This particular documentary lead me to read the bible, and I did!!! All I want to say that, how can any human who have read the bible not see how misleading the bible is. As I see it, you don't have to dig this tomb to disprove the bible or Christianity. But Science has already given the answer. But people are too blind to see it.
truth is buddhism is the only religion which has a logic.i never mean others are bad,but here in buddhism it never depend on god concepts or creaters but on mind power & on your self.you are accountable to yourself .no one can wash your sins
You could make a really nice chain with them - begin with Hinduism, then Buddhism stems from it, Buddhism meets with Judaism to form Christianity, then Islam stems from Christianity and finally, Islam meets with Hinduism to become Sikhism.
@JesusDiedforMe01 "Who do people say I am?" This was the question that Jesus asked his disciples. Their reply was that people were saying he was one of the Old Testament prophets "raised from the dead." Considering that the Last Judgment and the Resurrection of the Dead had not occurred, this begs the question, "What did they mean by "raised from the dead?"
Jesus Christ was the son of God, nobody is saying he wasn't. The truth is, we are all the sons and daughters of God. Jesus reached a level of consciousness far superior to ours. Which was why he could heal others. He was on a whole other level of spirituality. God is one being, and we are part of god.
Actually Buddha was a son of rich king in India from higher caste and people of his own caste Khastriya do not believe in him. Only the Sudar ( oppressed community of India ) believe in him to save themselves from social stigma but now it is seen few people of other nations have started believing in him because they dont know the reality. Buddha was married but to gain some knowledge about the life, he left his small son and wife. Jesus Christ kept on showing His Godly character in the world with holiness , signs and wonders, Mercy and love. He is worshiped by 3 Billion people so its the difference between Buddha and Jesus
I was a Tibetan Buddhist living in a Buddhist community, now I am a Christian, one day in Jan 2009 I was born again through the Holy Spirit. It was totally unexpected and unlooked for. I had no interest or respect for "evangelical" Christianity. Many people say that Jesus' message is the same as all other religious/spiritual teachers, but what is this conclusion based on? its pure assumption. This assumption is easily made when people don't really know what Jesus full teaching is/was because they haven't taken the time to read the New Testament. How can anyone make judgements about the Buddha if they don't know what are the doctrines that the Buddha taught? For starters, Buddha taught that individual self- hood (the experience being a "person" -me) is a 100% illusion and doesn';t correspond to reality, also our physical existence is illusion. The realisation of "annatta" ( no-self), is the fundamental attainment that causes the cessation of samsaric existence. When this is attained, individuality, and the (illusion) 0f material creation ceases to exist, (Nirvana). Jesus teaches that YHWH is the one true God, according to this God (and Jesus): individual personhood is not an illusion, but we really are individual personalities because God is an individual person and we are made in his image. The end state/goal of Christianity is the receiving of an immortal physical body and the preservation of each individual person for eternity in order to have fellowship/relationship with a personal God (it takes two people to have a relationship)in a renewed and perfected material creation, The end of Buddhism is the total dissolution of personality into an undifferentiated, impersonal “oneness” which is immaterial. How can these 2 accounts of spiritual reality both be correct? From the Biblical perspective the Buddhist goal to systematically and irreversibly transcend personhood is an attempt to destroy the image of God in us, and to eliminate the creature that God created. It’s like spiritual suicide. Buddha says suffering (Dukkha) is rooted in the illusion of self - in other words, having personhood IS the problem: evil is an inseperable effect of personhood. But Jesus affirms YHWH who says that human personhood is the greatest and most valuable creation of God, the problem is sin, Which perverts and defiles the person and THIS is the cause of suffering - as it seperates us from the life of God. This problem of sin was dealt with by God by “sending His son, in the likeness of sinful man, to be an offering for sin and so condemning (ending the defiling problem of sin) in man “ Romans 8. faith in Jesus and his atoning sacrifice on our behalf and for our sin is the only condition for our renewal to an immortal sin free, suffering free future existence as individual people. Although there are commonalities between |Buddhism ad Christianity with regard to ethical/moral conduct, the fundamental contradictions of doctrine should not be ignored. Jesus himself says “ whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father” John 8? and “if you hold to my teaching you are really my disciples, then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free” John 8:31?. anyone committed to a Buddhist belief system and practice does not honour the Son or hold to his teaching, as they would have to deny that what Jesus teaches is true or trustworthy.If faith In Christ is the means to salvation, Buddhists don’t have faith in Christ or in what he teaches. Jesus says in John that people’s eternal future depends on whether or not they believe his testimony and accept him as the unique Christ of God. Its heavy stuff I know, but there it is, - read the Gospels , especially John. And also the apostle’s teaching; they explain and expound the full meaning of what’s in the Gospels - he commanded them to do this very thing (Luke 24/ Matthew 28). People say “ but that’s not Jesus”, in fact Jesus says that whatever the apostles teach IS HIM speaking through them by the Holy Spirit, so if you believe Jesus speaks the truth then you must believe the apostles do too. That’s why He says about the disciples “ whoever rejects your message rejects me and whoever accepts your message accepts me”. People also say that Jesus never said anything about him dying for people’s sins. This is not true, he plainly teaches this in all four gospels. Jesus teaches that no one can see or enter the "kingdom of God" unless he is born again of the spirit. (John 3) there is in Buddhism , if you look further into scriptures to find out what is the nature and effects of this new birth, you will find that there is no reference or knowledge within Buddhism of the very thing which Jesus says is essential for eternal life. I can testify that what Jesus says about the new birth is true and that it is totally supernatural, involving no spiritual or other effort effort on our part. It happens when you hear and believe "the word of the Son of man" (John 5) for me , I had no conscious involvment in it at all, it was all a total shock, but it changed my life forever. PRAISE GOD!! I was hopelessly and horibly lost despite pursuing Buddhist and other (meditation based) practices for nearly 20 years.
There's nothing wrong with Jesus Christ and his beautiful teachings. He will always be the role model I follow. And to those who do not understand the great wisdom in the Bible, and to the blind Christians who take the words in the Bible literally; I feel sorry for both of you. There is no heaven or hell, death, kingdom of heaven or judgment day, etc. These are all metaphors to much deeper wisdom. Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
This information would turn the Christian world ontop of its head. And the majority of them would dismiss it and consider it blasphemy, but I believe it to be the truth.
If that was Jesus' tomb it wouldn't destroy all Christianity because he said "The kingdom of heaven will not come in such a way as to be seen." "The kingdom of heaven is within you."
thanks for letting us know about these... i've been wanting a place to start, this is helpful
Buddhism seems to be more of a way of mind than a religion. It has been very influential for Western psychology. Unlike other traditions labeled "religion" there is no deity in Buddhism. What seems, at my naive state, is that the ultimate goal in Buddhism, of nirvana, results in a sort of benign anesthesia, rather than any sort of real fulfillment of human potential.
Which in Biblical terms is sin... To hate, to have greed etc... Jesus said love your neighbour and said it's easier for a camel to fit through an eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter heaven..
So yeah I agree with you on that one.. Greed, hatred etc... forms of sin. Sin creates suffering..
Thank you for sharing this. It has given me good information on my journey
Very interseting but there's no-way anyone would have survived a Roman crucifiction, they were experts. Sound more reasonable to think it was one of his followers who went out to all parts of the world after the dispersal from jerusulem (50-70 AD) and the story has got a bit confused. That might be less fun to believe but far more plausible.
except that crucifixions lasted days and Jesus "died" within 6 hours. There's a longer version of this documentary that suggests that when Jesus asked for water that they wet a rag with a drug that made him appear to be dead and was just unconscious then later awoke in the tomb and... well... left :)
I think that's complete bullshit and this documentary is just theorizing so don't take any of this as fact. Why would the Romans give him a drug so he could survive? The whole point of crucifixion is to kill you. Period. They wanted Jesus dead. He died within 6 hours because he was flogged half to death and was bleeding to death from his wounds, the human body can only take so much with that much trauma. The other ones lasted for days because they weren't flogged like that therefore they would last longer because there isn't that much damage to the body. I don't think very many people think that one through.
Every year Christ went to Jerusalem for the feast from Nazareth where he lived,how did he find time to WALK to and from India? And also as the Son of God he didn,t need to learn off anyone except to observe the ways of mankind around him,and study The Torah,as if he needed to because he is a prophet ,builder,teacher,evangalist and pastor to his people
I love this interpretation of Jesus because it shows that religion is a transformative thing that relies on culture and interpretation and change. As Hinduism changed, it spawned Buddhism because Hinduism couldn't help a certain group of people. Judaism may have mixed with Buddhism to spawn Christianity and from Christianity may have come Islam.
Isn't it beautiful that people yearn to find their spiritual path in life.
Let us each have our own beliefs, and not be criticized for them. Truth is, nobody can know for sure the answers to such metaphysical and existential questions about life and death, or what our purpose here truly is. However, I do know that if we believe in something transcendent, beyond ourselves, our lives will no doubt be more fulfilling.
Buddhism is all about how to be happy, wise and free from all the kinds of bad things that you don't want. Just being fanatic religious without exploring is the greatest tragedy of human.
Christians and Buddhists always lived friendly....... don't misunderstand this video
your Buddhism has you accountable to yourself in a positive way which is fine, but it's tragic that without a positive focus on the higher ideals people without much mind power a being accountable to themselves in the most basic ways, not worrying to much about being sinful at all.
And the key to healing someones body is healing their mind.
I love this story
I wish I had lived in India from age 14 to 29.

You fight for Buddha, you fight for Jesus….stop fighting!!!! this is what they said…..
stop the war! compassion and wisdom, no? let's try to bring peace on earth for a change.
@ftperror Tell me what are the characteristics and qualifications needed to be called as a god?
Thousand apologies for the misunderstanding there.
To my understanding, God is holy, divine and a Spirit. Therefore one must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
So what? being a Buddhist is a great honor! one shall never close the gates of his mind to grow up spiritually.
and may you know the love of Father through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ). There is no need to argue.
Forget about religions, just do good and refrain from doing evil from birth to death.
i respect that. i personally am a Buddhist, regardless, i still respect that.
hard to believe that so many apostles lied about seeing jesus again and watching him ascend, incarnations of the man are possible though.
There are many things Jesus says which are nearly word for word from more ancient Buddhist writings. When I saw this I was very surprised but it's true.
what is the full length documentary this is from?
why will the rabbi need a teacher ... he created the whole universe and he's Jesus ... he's the alpha the omega the beginning and the end ...He lives and He will ever live until the end of the world ... his words will never change ...
actually, if you think about it, it may be possible that Jesus, as a carpenter's son, went with his Dad to markets far and wide to sell their wares, (maybe boxes and furniture made from the fragrant woods found in the holy lands). There they could have come into contact with people traveling the old 'Silk Road', from the far East, with goods to exchange, and idea's also. It's not so incredible is it? Perhaps, just perhaps, it could have happened, because Buddhism and Christianity do share a lot.
I never implied that Buddhism was older than Judaism. I said 'Buddhism MEETS with Judaism' to form Christianity. The same way that Islam MEETS Hinduism to form Sikhism. Hope that clears the confusion. Peace.
Just because one of His messages does not correlate with the teachings of Buddha, does not mean he did not travel to India where he may've surrounded himself with teachers of other faiths... But whether He did go to India or did not go to India, why would that affect whether one should accept Him or not?
Jesus was Buddhist Monk and he visited Nepal too.
@JesusDiedforMe01 They were not talking about resurrection because the orthodox Christian doctrine of resurrection originated with the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism and this doctrine holds that corpses do not crawl out of their graves until the Last Judgment and the End of Days.
yes! You are very right.
And if there is no God,then why is there so much good in this world?However,many of us take a spiritually irresponsible stance when bad things happen in our lives.we think everything is God's plan.Thankfully God is good and very gracious so He can make good come out of bad situation but that doesnt mean it was His will for it to happen in the first place Ephesians 5:17"Therefore do not be unwise but understand what the will of the Lord is",,,,Praise the Lord forever.He is the Truth.. amen
@JesusDiedforMe01 The Christian Gnostics also believed that Roman orthodoxy (which was based primarily on Pauline Christianity rather than the Christianity taught by Peter and James) held a definition of "resurrection" which was a vulgarization and a misinterpretation of the mysteries of Christ which he taught only to the apostles and not the public at large.
Jesus said the Spirit of God will guide to all truth.
To all Buddha worshippers,Buddha loves Human being but did he loves the Supreme Being?How does he show it?by living a beggars life?without worshipping Allah will make you closer to Heaven?
jesus had some good saying but many of them were already said by buddha jesus also said he didnt come to make peace but a sword i also read a gospel where jesus was ruthless and had a relationship weith mary magadelene
Christianity is not a religion. It is a fun club.
this is pretty cool! It would be obvious that two peaceful beliefs would be connected somehow! (I'm an open minded intelligent Christian btw)! 😉😇😺💙💜💗💖💕💞
Wow, this is interesting.
I'm wrong? New Oxford American Dictionary definition: a particular system of faith and worship. Webster's definition: commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance. Or even better, Webster's second definition: a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices. Yes there's a definition that focuses on belief in an all-powerful creator deity, but there are multiple definitions to a word for a reason. You can't pick just one and then call me wrong.
Everyone is so sure they know "the truth", and yet everyone comes to slightly different conclusions, dismissing the smaller discrepancies as human disagreements or flaws and ignoring or otherwise lambasting the larger differences.
Is it so hard to humble oneself and allow for the possibility that "I don't know"?
