But with the knowledge of Buddhism, I read the teachings of Jesus and see the Lotus sutra in the words he spoke.

yup but theres also a lot of contradictory hate crap in his word, unlike buddha.

Messenger? However, we are all sons and daughters of God.

Jesus taught more then whats in the bible, and the bible for that fact has been manipulated....Still in many of the parables you can see the influence. Like "The Peal of Great Price"

Little Known fact #547

Jesus Went to study In Tibit as a buddist monk.

I think Jesus and Buddha are the same person, they are just interpreted differently.

I was just reading Joseph Campbells "Hero with a Thousand Faces" and i noticed that the stories for the Buddha and Jesus CXhrist are basically the same. Does this mean that the religions were somewhat influenced by one another? Or could it possibly mean that the same force that created Jesus, also created Buddha.

The missing years of Jesus' life are often said he has spent in India learning Buddhism.

I have quoted before the great similarities between what Jesus said and what Buddha said.

Besides, I believe Jesus was one of many Buddha's.

a) He understood the impermanance of his body, and he did not kill or curse anyone who has kicked or beaten him before his death.

b) When he said he died for our sins I believe this is extreamly missquoted - in Buddhism when we feel suffering or pain or similar we say the following -

''This is what the suffering feels like - there are people in the world who suffer more than I at this point.
May all beings be free of suffering while I am suffering''

So, technically, I believe Paul and Peter made religion. Jesus was a simple teacher - passing the message of peace he has learned from the monks in India.
