Jesus was a Buddhist Monk BBC Documentary

From 38 minutes on comes the interesting bit.
This BBC 4 documentary examines the question "Did Jesus Die?". It looks at a bunch of ideas around this question until minute 25, where this examination of ideas takes a very logical and grounded turn with surprising conclusions that demonstrate...
The three wise men were Buddhist monks who found Jesus and came back for him around puberty. After being trained in a Buddhist Monastery he spread the Buddhist philosophy, survived the crucifixion, and escaped to Kashmir, Afghanistan where he died an old man at the age of 80.

My great grandfather who never went out of his North Indian Village who passed away in 1997 and talked about Isa about whom he learnt from his great grandfather who spent his entire life in one village. There were no missionaries in our district until after Independence. So it can be assumed that before the name Jesus was common in India and popularized by British and Christian missions, he was already known as Isa in a lot of parts. My father was the first person in our family to meet a Christian when he moved to a bigger city in mid 80's. It's actually beautiful in a way that Jesus got to spend his life in peace after suffering in Rome. His teachings of love matter in the end. Everything else is business.

Jesus was a practising Taoist who believed in reincarnation and ancestral worship but he will not return as the same person so those waiting for the return of Jesus in the same person will be disappointed. 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.

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.

@@jimmyheimish Thank you for your reply! I’m happy to hear that the lives of Bodhisattvas and the principles of bodhichitta is inspiring to you. 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.

MANY other cultures afterwards have similar resurrection myths. I believe, if Jesus even existed, he was drugged but the vinegar - a stimulant, vinegar kept him alive to survive the ordeal.

I studied a number of relevant texts and writings and had an interesting experience many years ago, in uni. My sense is that Jesus was a man who experienced ultimate epiphany/enlightenment and tried to teach others how to do the same. He was, however, interpreted literally over the years and of course organized religion made something else of his existence.

Sounds comforting, but no. The OT, is about how YHWH will send an intercessor to defeat Death. The NT is he who does it. (It is finished) Think of Passover, if you did not have Blood, of a perfect Lamb, the "Angel of Death" did not Pass over your House, so will it be in end. (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.

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. If you want to explore your own individual spirituality, you must go deeply inside yourself, between your own temples, instead of through church doors. Jordan Maxwell, That Old-Time Religion

Brett Sterling I don’t believe the men who committed those atrocities had pure hearts either. But I am also willing to cut them some slack, the same way I am willing to cut (SOME) slack to the people who went way overboard during COVID. They didn’t know what they didn’t know, and they were scared. But they’ll have to admit, just as they would have in the past, that they were wrong, if they were to be forgiven. Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked. The church has never done anything wrong, Jesus is the church, it is Him. Some of the individuals that have controlled and participated in the organization Christian leadership has become have made mistakes I think. 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. I don’t think consciousness ends here. I think if we told kids they should try to be more like saints, we’d end up with much better adults.

They found pollen unique to the area of the tomb. They determined the image was imposed onto the cloth by radiation, A blast of very bright light, or both. They explained how our DNA actually emits light. It was like all the cells in that body lit up at at once in a very powerful way. They found the flagellum marks where this man was whipped by the Romans. These tiny barbell shaped objects were put on the end of a multi- pronged whip. They had barbs on them to rip out flesh with each strike. They estimated the man on the shroud had been whipped about 600 times. Anyone taking that kind of beating would die of shock in not to much time. Do I believe the shroud was on Jesus? Yes, I do. I believe he is who he said he was. There are a lot of things in common with Buddhism. Universal truth is the same everywhere. Both have great messages and teachings. They both simplified it to what we call ," The Golden Rule."

I was at that school only during the ages of 5 and 6 and they destroyed my life with all than bunch of lies. If I had the power I would send them an atomic bomb.

@@RIZFERD Indonesia was never a global super power. No doubt that there was a time where in their region they were very strong, but that was it. It was in their region. The first global superpowers were Spain and Portugal where they extended their empires across the globe. Prior to them there were empires, but none of them stretched across the globe. Jesus suffered a little. Terminally ill people suffer much more. Maybe the path to enlightenment we can obtain from terminally ill people.

As I think it through, a person has moments when questions that they can't answer compel them to look for answers. When the answers don't come quickly or easily, if they do not remain curious, they assign something - a divinity, a book of knowledge, meditation, etc. - and try to forget they were ever bothered by the questions. Organized religion is a social setting in which people who more or less agree on answers gather to feel good together. Some questions can exist only as questions, because wars are fought over the answers.

[@jeffforsythe9514]

God wants all of us to return home to Heaven and that is why Jesus came with His message, I am the Way. Meanwhile, God wants the entire world to return so Buddha had delivered the same message in the Far East. Jesus asked His disciples not to go to the East because two different religions, both righteous, should not be mixed. So today, so many people think that the only saviour is Jesus but that is a misunderstanding. Now, God has given us His new Gospel to correct our paths and it is entitled Falun Gong.

Part of the punishment for being crucified was to not be able to have a burial after your death. After you died on the cross. scavenger animals would pick at the remains and the bones but scattered all over the fields. You could possible pick-up bones afterward but there was no telling who's was which.

I had read an article in the magazines of 1970s that Jesus had survived after being wounded on the cross . It was presumed that Jesus was trained in his younger days in the eastern countries which helped him sustain the pain inflicted on him. As per History, Jesus stayed in Kashmir, was known as Messiah and died natural death in his 80s.

[@Brian-uy2tj]

Great work. However, in the comments above (the shaded area that says "From 38 minutes on comes the interesting bit.") It says he died at 80 years old. However that isn't what it said, it said he died in the year 80 which would make him somewhere around 110 years old. It seems he may have cheated death for a few more years.

[@tina.singh27]

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.

[@leelakrishna5960]

Yes, Jesus imbibed the essence of Buddha's teachings. Hence he was enlightened. So he knew he himself was a God.

[@NoPayNoGain]

he might be a dropout from nalanda just like bill gates quitted college to start his own enterprise. his level of enlightenment was really really inferior, and definitely he did not have enough merits to save himself from suffering. a mark of a bodhisattva is a successful and convincing influence to the kings.

[@user-hy9nh4yk3p]

When the soul takes on matter - whichever soul - even that of the Avatar - is sure to taste suffering - it is the experience of being human. It is also an indication - that one must apply oneself - to transcend - this state - and move - towards Infinity. Fare thee well.@@NoPayNoGain

Have to admit, that crucifixion isn't deadly has never crossed my mind. That the story says he was released from the cross way too early is indeed fascinating. It almost sounds like a suspended sentence. It would also explain why followers weren't keen to start teaching themselves, anytime soon, cause they were protecting J. Maybe he wasn't made up then

[@user-vh8pn1uf9g]

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

[@user-vh8pn1uf9g]

@@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.
