Wow an obscure, unsourced cambodian scripture. That sounds very reliable. Let's face it, any scripture originating in cambodia would be recorded after his death, and thus highly unreliable.
No offense but "Salvation: Your New Relationship With God" doesn't sound like a scholarly text and goes out of it's way to avoid giving a citation, saying only that it comes from "a religious encyclopedia".
Personally I would really have to see reference to this elsewhere, in the text they used or from an actual Buddhist to take it seriously.

Re: Buddha Prophesized about Jesus (Yeshua)
I have read Buddhist text before, but none that I've read have ever used the word sin.
The way this is written sounds like a Christian read some text and then wrote it. Also, heaven in Buddhism is one of the ten worlds, and therefore would not have a door.
The word "saved" is also never used as far as I can remember. I looked for the word saved in a Buddhist dictionary, and they do not have the word.
The idea that Buddha would say "The results of sin and Karma..." is laughable. It equates karma to sin, and that is a western concept.
I'm no expert, but I am convinced that this is a bad forgery.
Wow so there actually was an original source for that (however warped). I figured it was just complete bullshit. Which it still is, but at least it wasn't bullshit from thin air.

That's just what Jesus wants you to believe. Fool! You're falling for his trap.
