I am a spiritual person and believe one of the biggest cons of the world is organized for profit religions. I believe Jesus, God lives in our heart and no intermediary is needed to communicate with Him. He speaks directly to the heart. None of us know for sure the true story of Jesus as it's been translated and rewritten so many times. The story is not as important as the fact that he lives on in one's true heart. He will always guide you when you ask. Religion is personal and as unique as each human being.

I like to point out, although not crucial for the overall narrative of this video, the Tibetan tradition of searching and recognizing reincarnated Lamas, or previous gurus, did not start until the 11:th century AD. According to tradition it began with the second coming of Lama Dusum Kyenpa (later known as Gyalwa Karmapa). The second incarnation was given the name Karma Pakshi. The lineage of the Gyalwa Karmapa have continued up until the 17:th Karmapa that is present in the world today. His name is Karma Trinley Dorje. The lineage of the Karmapas is called Karma Kagyu in Tibet and its teachings stem right back, in an unbroken succession, to the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. The lineage contains many great practitioners and teachers prior to the coming of the first Gyalwa Karmapa, such as Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa and Gampopa. As far as I know there are no historical indications of any Buddhist tradition, prior to the Tibetan, that have a systematic lineage of reincarnated teachers or gurus? Normally, lineages are maintained through the practice of passing on teachings and empowerments from guru to disciples in succession in all Buddhist traditions. The introduction of reincarnated beings into the maintenance of a lineage is something only found in the Mahayana Buddhist traditions that hold the ideals and teachings of Bodhisattvas. It has therefor become a regular practice within all Tibetan traditions and these Lamas are regularly regarded as reincarnated Bodhisattvas, fulfilling their sacred vows of budhisattvahood. Furthermore, these Lamas are regarded as precursors of future Buddhas to this world. For example the next Buddha to appear (the Fifth Buddha) Maitreya is presently holding a lineage of a succession of reincarnated Bodhisattvas in this world. Likewise, the lineage of Gyalwa Karmapa is believed to be the unbroken lineage of the Bodhisattva lineage of the Sixth Buddha to appear in this world. According to Buddhist Mahayana belief most Bodhisattvas do not appear in this world with a name attached to them. They appear anonymously and only through their deeds will it become clear that they do possess the qualities of a true Bodhisattva. Bodhisattvas appear continuously anywhere in the universe wherever beings are in need. Traditionally, a Bodhisattva is someone that have taken a vow of not entering into complete enlightenment, or Buddhahood, until all beings have been lifted out of bewilderment and suffering. For eons upon eons they continue to serve all beings out of the pure motivation of love, compassion and wisdom. That motivation is called Bodhichitta in the Buddhist Mahayana tradition of our time. The tradition of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is not particularly confined to our world and time but rather a universal principle beyond any dualistic concepts such as time, place, name and order. It is only to us they appear in certain orders and names, and such.

Even though the principle of Bodhisattva is recognized and at the heart of Buddhism Bodhisattvas are said to appear anywhere and in any form where they have a chance to assist sentient beings. Any teacher or role model that is a great inspiration to us we can view as a Bodhisattva, if that is important to us. At the end of the day our spiritual practice should aspire towards the realization of the same qualities that inspires us now. It is not my place to declare who’s a Bodhisattva, or not. Being touched and inspired by the Bodhisattva principle will open up new doors within us and our insights will expand.

As for ancestral worship, does the Lord's prayer not begin with "Our Father, who art in heaven......."? Furthermore, the Taoist do not differentiate much between food and medicine and Jesus would have learned/studied traditional medicine when he was in India. Think about the "miracles" he would have performed in healing people using acupressure and perhaps hot water springs which usually contain sulphur to heal lepers, etc. There are many so called weeds, herbs or plants which traditional medicine practitioners would use as medicine. I have a few plants in my backyard which I use for the relief of diarrhoea, poisonous stings and breaking down of kidney/gall stones. I also practice acupressure for pain relief.

One can be an atheist and still understand energy and it's properties. Science itself has proven that human beings are energy producers, and we have a field of energy that surrounds us all the time. It's measurable. Our brain is the mover of the heart and the heart is the mover of the brain. Through consumption and breathing we create an energetic field around us. Our thought produce our actions, and perhaps, if we learn to control our thoughts , and by doing this control our body's energetic field, it is possible to do amazing things. Many buddhist monks are capable of astounding things, many people in the world seem to defy the laws by which we bleive we have to live. This does not mean there is a magic man in the sky somewhere. It just means there is more to us than meets the eye. Perhaps through discipline and concentration, we can do amazing things. I am a pantheist. To me a person looking for 'god' is like a fish swimming around , looking for water.

(The Lamb Of God) Emmanuel (God with us) is that Man. It says "In the Begining there was the word, and the word was with God, and the word is God". He is that word, made flesh. "Let US make man in our image". "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:" (Hebrew 1:8,9,10) Sorry, but no.

You need to study more. Jesus is the Human incarnation of God, the Consciousness of God. Before Christ came after the second temple of Jerusalem, the Israelites were writing, "MEMRA EL-OHIM" this means in Greek (Language of Israel at time also, language of Essenes) means, LOGOS DU THEOS. The Consciousness of God. These people in Americas removed these information on purpose, destroying Christianity. All living things Preside from the Logos (Consciousness of God) and is Part of the Logos of God. (Christ) Christ humanized himself as God, and did all things Baptisms (Fire, Water, Spirit) temptation and crusifixtion as an example, to show us what we must do spiritually. Christ had to come to show us what to do, then to crusifying on cross as the final crusifixtion on Tabernacle of Moses. Jesus commanded life on all things, like God. becuse Jesus was God. Buddha means to reach enlightenment, Gutame reached enlightenment by removing all attachment. But Buddha stated that God will incarnate in 500 years rfom now in human form to his Cousin Adonde. Thsi was the 3 wise men. Chris is inside of you, part of your consciousness. There is NO hell, nor a Media invented Heaven. This life is the first Heaven, after this world there is world that Moses described in Genesis as Raqia from this world. If you are unclean, and stand before God, your self-created personality will burn away. (thsi is what bible is talking about) but you eternal self (inside of you) remains intack. You will then re-create yourself like new. The book of revelations describes this transfuration process in great detail. The Original churhc is orthodox and Coptic.

[@tyamada21]

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

Gnosis in Greek means knowledge, or to know. This does not refer to factual knowledge, but to an intuitive or spiritual understanding that comes from experience. The early Gnostics were mystics, people who knew that you could experience God for yourself instead of going into a church and being told what to believe. In Hebrew, to know means to experience-so, according to the Hebrews, knowing God means to experience Him. This is what most all early Hebrews and Christians were striving to do. Unfortunately, the Church got in the way of personal experience, by creating “organized religion.” There’s a saying which states, “Religion is for the masses, and mysticism is for the individual.” If you want to be a sheep and follow along with the masses to get a generic, candy-coated version of your spirituality, then follow the teachings of the Christian fathers.

Between the age of 13 and 32, it is said that Jesus has studied Buddhism in Nalanda before to go back to teach love and compassion. Nalanda was initially a prosperous village by a major trade route that ran through the nearby city of Rajagriha (modern Rajgir) which was then the capital of Magadha. It is said that the Jain thirthankara, Mahavira, spent 14 rainy seasons at Nalanda. Gautama Buddha too is said to have delivered lectures in a nearby mango grove named Pavarika and one of his two chief disciples, Shariputra, was born in the area and later attained nirvana there. This traditional association with Mahavira and Buddha tenuously dates the existence of the village to at least the 5th-6th century BCE.

Jesus traveled all over the world. This was a common thing for “wise men” in many cultures. The Persian Magi, the Hindu Brahmans, the Druids, the Greek Philosophers etc. all traveled extensively picking up wisdom wherever they could. That’s why you see many of the same gods in cultures all over the world just with different names and very minor differences. The pagan world was much, much more connected than we are taught in school. You can see this especially true in the art and architecture.

[@MrJashuaDavies]

except Jesus was not a magi or druid or philosopher, he was an Essene by maternal heritage, a rabbi dedicated to his Jewish people, and a builder in tradition of his paternal lineage. These studies would have easily occupied the years from 12 to 30. A rabbi does not explore Gentile religion or philosophy to enhance Judaism, this is antithetical to rabbinical life. There is no evidence or reasoning for Jesus of Nazareth to have ever traveled further than Egypt

@@MrJashuaDavies and what is the difference between a magi, druid, philosopher and a rabbi? Absolutely nothing besides the name of the god they worshipped. There is also a ton of evidence for Qaballa coming from the Greeks which the first philosophers came out of Ionia which was under Persian rule at the time - therefore most likely due to coming in contact with the Magi. Druids and Magi, like Essenes, went through a 20+ year learning process as well. They are all different names for priests. Not to mention, the Essenes progressed through Initiations. There’s much evidence Jesus traveled in his missing 16-17 years - from accounts of him in India being chased out by Brahmins and him ending up in a Buddhist Monastery in the Himalayas. Christians tend to look over all the evidence that their religion was nothing new.

But again, Christ is the church-not a bunch of building in Rome-it is not my place to disobey. Christ said to follow the Ten Commandments. And that our only other actual duty in life is to help others. I think he brought the truth. I think the reason society sucks so bad is because all of us, each one, doesn’t do enough charity. And I don’t mean going to see sick kids in cancer wards, people do that as much for themselves as they do for the kids. I’m talking about dropping off some clothes to some homeless person and not telling anyone about it except God. But you won’t even have to, because you’ll know God was right there watching you do it, smiling. Saying hello to them, looking them in the eye, asking their name (though these days that can be dangerous, but still). We obviously can’t all be saints, I don’t think, but I think we can all aim for it. And we can promote a culture where we all aim for it. Instead one where being a gangster rapper, or a Hollywood star, or a stripper or a drag Queen, or an “influencer” is the end game. There is no end game, it doesn’t end here.

Fascinating exploration !! It's hard to sum up the entire life of any individual in a mere 50 minutes. Would have liked to hear more regarding the comparisons between the teachings of Jesus and those of Buddha. I suspect that many people in the western world fall into the whole 'blind faith' teachings of christianity because they are rarely exposed to eastern teachings. I constantly have to remind people that Buddhism is NOT a religion - it's about a way of life. If you pay close attention to Jesus' teachings, it's hard NOT to recognize the similarities. The bibles, scriptures, or whatever is left after 2 Millenia of editing, seems to have missed or forgotten the lessons these great teachers have left us to learn. Thank You, Brian Oblivion, for sharing this with us !!!

[@christhezane]

As a layman Buddhist myself, I can tell you Buddhism is a path, a tradition, way of life or philosophy, and it's most definitely a religion, as well, friend. It's just a non theistic religion. We do not worship a God like Christians or Muslims. That would be an obstacle on our way to Enlightenment.

I read a book years ago which told the story of a man who was hansom, very friendly and was wise for his years. Everyone, once word got around wanted to meet him and listen to him talk and listen to what he had to say on any subject because what he said made a lot of sense. People started to follow him and listened and over time had a great gathering of people. Those in charge with great power began to hear of this man and to them he was a great threat to their power and wealth and so decided that they had to stop him? You can figure out where I'm going with this, their plan failed and they made him into a person so big that people would talk about him for many many years to come. This person was just a man that people liked and followed, he never said that he was anything but an ordinary man. I let people read this book so they could come to their own conclusions, however, I never got the book back and have been looking for it ever since.

It disturbs me that any man could do this to another for any reason. I also find it disturbing that the death and resurrection is venerated above the life and the knowledge he was trying to bring.

Fascinating doco.... The story about Jesus being In Kashmir makes total sense. Ive never heard that theory before. Only problem being that he seems to have told no one where he was through out his childhood. Or maybe he did and the church hushed it up. Makes me want to investigate more.

yeah there were stories before the church decided what goes in and out officially - now considered apocryphal, there are stories from removed books that tell of a young and kinda disturbed jesus who didnt understand his powers and used them in bizarre ways like bring a child back from the dead, only to make him dead again, and bringing him back again. i could be mistaken, but i believe they removed it because it was kinda darksided and directly lifted from the myth of dionysus (i believe there are a number of similarities between jesus and dionysus as there were similar cults around the same time and the romans had a tendency to synchronize foreign myths and gods into their own culture).

[@annoyingchannel8812]

Nonsense. The Christian tradition was handed down orally by people whio knew Christ like St Peter who was like so many early Christians martyred for their belief in Christ's divinity. His remains lie in St Peter's Basilica. There is not one shred of evidence that Jesus went anywhere near Kashmir.

[@davidleckrone90]

@annoying channel But how can you say Jesus was NOT in India?! There is zero evidence of Jesus for 18 years! There IS evidence that Jesus visited Spain. The story of Jesus on the Lake of Galilee, casting spirit out of a man (or two men, the Gospels disagree) living in caves used as a necropolis. The spirit left, entered a herd of swine that ran off a cliff into the sea. No where is a location on the Lake that matches all Biblical details! Even if you dismiss swine! But there is a matching location, with pigs allowed, in Spain, and a local tradition of the visit. Please watch the "Naked Archeologist" before replying. Be informed before you refute.

Redemption is only found through acknowledging that Jesus died for our sin. Nobody else has ever sacrificed themselves to save others.

But he wasn't Buddhist. If you knew anything about theology, you would know to suppose that is nonsense thinking.

@@delishme2 you have NO IDEEA what Jesus actually spoke or teached . Every word , every anology is made up by the gosspel's writers , hundreds of years AFTER the events. And yeah, it made sense to twisted the ideas in a jewish spin, so it would not be rejected by the belivers ...who were, after all, jewish... In fact, the GREEK written gosspels (yeah... iudeean fisheman surely spoke educated literary greek...right.) reads more like poems and very well thought out word plays ... having a lot of literary tricks in it. AND it explains why Jesus is such an incoherent character... meek as a sheep sometimes, crazy and violent for no real reason other times ...because it combines different characters and stories in ONE single main fictional character. The real Jesus probably was very different from the desciptions. And it just as well might have teached a diluted, adapted, form of buddhism.

[@delishme2]

@@speedy7040 Drivel. It's an exceptionally coherant theme and narrative with hyperlinks between the old and new testament that are so beautifully nuanced and layered, i'm not surprised you missed most of it. The ONLY time Jesus was angry, funny how you charachterised it as "violent and crazy" was at the temple, with the money changers and Dove sellers specifically. Do you know why ? Because all these people involved in the "business" of faith, were keeping the poorest away from the Temple and the prescence of God, and making a business out of doing so.. In those days there was ONE temple, in Jerusalem. And people had to come and make tribute. To do so, you needed to ritually clean in the Mikvahs and change your money into temple coins, ( as Roman money was not welcome on holy ground). This gave the money changers an opportunity to profit. You would then purchase an animal sacrifice. The cheapest of these were the birds. But there were still people excluded from the temple.... the poor, the widowed, the orphan, the sick. The people Jesus specifocally had a heart for, and that is why he was angry. No inconsistency there at all, and absolutely with a reason. I don't know where you got your information from but it's wrong on many accounts. Historically we have more early texts than we do for Homer or the lives of any of the Caesars. I think you should stop listening to people "talk" about the bible, amd read it, you probably want to understand it better, if only so you can debate it better than you have. The Bible Project is also a great resource, learn about it first.. it's fairly clear to me at least, you don't really know much about what you are speaking about.

And the many saints that experienced Christ, are proof of His omnipresence.
