"🕵‍♂ Welcome, spiritual detectives and history enthusiasts! 🕵‍♀ You've just stumbled upon the cosmic crossroads of East and West. Whether you're team "Jesus definitely went to India" or "No way, he stayed in Nazareth," we want to hear your thoughts! 🤔 What's your take on the "Jesus in India" theory? 🧘‍♂ If Jesus did study Buddhism, how do you think it might have influenced his teachings? 🌟 What other historical mysteries would you like us to explore next? Remember, the journey of discovery is just as important as the destination. Let's keep the discussion respectful, open-minded, and as enlightening as a conversation between Jesus and Buddha over a cup of chai! ☕🙏

The beauty of Buddhism is to “find out for yourself. Be curious. Don’t just follow what someone says or writes.”

He studied in the Middle East ...being Buddhism was a well known philosophy at the time in the Middle East and levant ...Buddhism was a well known philosophy in Greece and Afghanistan as well...

Why is it surprising? Buddhism travelled East and West. Even today many westerners seek spirituality in the Indian traditions. India is the holy land.

I always felt when Jesus says [paraphrasing] "Only through me lies the Kingdom of God" he wasn’t trying to literally gatekeep the salvation of Christians, but trying to say "Be like me, listen to my teaching from me, and through me you will find the Kingdom of God for yourself." Also, the "Wages of sin is death" isn't a condemnation to Hell and Damnation, but more of a warning "Hey, if you keep doing bad stuff, its going to get you killed." Like if you look at what Jesus says through a practical lens rather than a mystical supernatural one, what he says kinda makes sense. But it's been distorted and misunderstood because of improper context.

If I am a Buddhist, why would I even care if this mythical person ever found the Dharma? This is for Jesus believers to think about.🤓

I study Dzrogchen buddhism I don’t even believe my own story let alone anybody else’s. even the Buddha said don’t just have faith and believe anything question everything..

Even lord Buddha traveled around following 4 teachers one after another, including what's now called Jainism from its founder.

I had the same thought for awhile now. The people I had expressed this idea to had basically shoot down the possibility. However, I feel believing in God gave me a sense of hope that I didn’t get from the teaching of the Buddha. The Buddha taught us to believe in no one else but ourselves…. And then not even ourselves because there’s no self. Very complex. I find believing in God is much more peaceful and hopeful at times.

I pray every day for every day life, I pray no object in front me, because I'm experience God spirit talk to me in 2003&2014 I meet jesus Christ, she's watching for my prayers in front of me in short distance...

It too much a coincidence that the teaching of Buddhism and Jesus are very similar its really having a open mind and open heart... Thank Matt your the best

Lord Buddha explains quite detailed in "Brahmajāla Sutta" how prophets like Jesus, Mohammed etc., and the gods of these religions, came to have their understanding of their reality. However, what I find particularly fascinating about Lord Buddha's explanation is that he actually explains the universe is expanding and contracting, additionally he says that the universe at this time is expanding. This is quite specific if you ask me, modern science relatively recently figured this out 😊 Here comes a small extract from the sutta: “There are, bhikkhus, some recluses and brahmins who are eternalists in regard to some things and non-eternalists in regard to other things, and who on four grounds proclaim the self and the world to be partly eternal and partly non-eternal. And owing to what, with reference to what, do these honourable recluses and brahmins proclaim their views? “There comes a time, bhikkhus, when after the lapse of a long period this world contracts (disintegrates). While the world is contracting, beings for the most part are reborn in the Ābhassara Brahma-world. There they dwell, mind-made, feeding on rapture, self-luminous, moving through the air, abiding in glory. And they continue thus for a long, long period of time. “But sooner or later, bhikkhus, after the lapse of a long period, there comes a time when this world begins to expand once again. While the world is expanding, an empty palace of Brahmā appears. Then a certain being, due to the exhaustion of his life-span or the exhaustion of his merit, passes away from the Ābhassara plane and re-arises in the empty palace of Brahmā. There he dwells, mind made, feeding on rapture, self-luminous, moving through the air, abiding in glory. And he continues thus for a long, long period of time. “Then, as a result of dwelling there all alone for so long a time, there arises in him dissatisfaction and agitation, (and he yearns): ‘Oh, that other beings might come to this place!’ Just at that moment, due to the exhaustion of their life-span or the exhaustion of their merit, certain other beings pass away from the Ābhassara plane and re-arise in the palace of Brahmā, in companionship with him. There they dwell, mind-made, feeding on rapture, self-luminous, moving through the air, abiding in glory. And they continue thus for a long, long period of time. “Thereupon the being who re-arose there first thinks to himself: ‘I am Brahmā, the Great Brahmā, the Vanquisher, the Unvanquished, the Universal Seer, the Wielder of Power, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Supreme Being, the Ordainer, the Almighty, the Father of all that are and are to be. And these beings have been created by me. What is the reason? Because first I made the wish: “Oh, that other beings might come to this place!” And after I made this resolution, now these beings have come.’ “And the beings who re-arose there after him also think: ‘This must be Brahmā, the Great Brahmā, the Vanquisher, the Unvanquished, the Universal Seer, the Wielder of Power, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Supreme Being, the Ordainer, the Almighty, the Father of all that are and are to be. And we have been created by him. What is the reason? Because we see that he was here first, and we appeared here after him.’ “Herein, bhikkhus, the being who re-arose there first possesses longer life, greater beauty, and greater authority than the beings who re-arose there after him. “Now, bhikkhus, this comes to pass, that a certain being, after passing away from that plane, takes rebirth in this world. Having come to this world, he goes forth from home to homelessness. When he has gone forth, by means of ardour, endeavour, application, diligence, and right reflection, he attains to such a degree of mental concentration that with his mind thus concentrated he recollects his immediately preceding life, but none previous to that. He speaks thus: ‘We were created by him, by Brahmā, the Great Brahmā, the Vanquisher, the Unvanquished, the Universal Seer, the Wielder of Power, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Supreme Being, the Ordainer, the Almighty, the Father of all that are and are to be. He is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change, and he will remain the same just like eternity itself. But we, who have been created by him and have come to this world, are impermanent, unstable, short-lived, doomed to perish.’ “This, bhikkhus, is the first case.

Wonderful summary of the sources of the Jesus in India theory. It’s no wonder that mainstream religious organizations would quickly dismiss this information…it would destroy their institutions!

I totally respect Buddha 🙏🙏🙏 And I want to sincerely practice His Paths and Skills, on Enlightenment and Nirvana.

Your Videos are the absolut banger. Top notch production.

The Buddha after his Enlightenment had many followers who also became enlightened from his teachings over the course of 2,000 years or more. Many were omniscient who were mainly from India, China, Tibet, Thailand, Japan and so on. As far as I know these beings mention of Jesus could have been recorded but I have yet to come across it. Accept for one enlightened teacher who said that Jesus did visit lands between his home and India (but never reached India). He visited many monasteries along the way and did learn some of the teachings. At that time the Mahayana teachings of Amitabha Buddha and Land of Ultimate Bliss (Pureland teachings) were popular in the region. Jesus, once back in his home most likely misunderstood these teachings, Amitabha was interpreted as God and the Land of Ultimate Bliss (Pureland) was interpreted as the Kingdom of God. The teachings though quite parallel but took different directions. So, the message took different meanings. Amitabha' s Pureland teachings were taught by the Buddha and to this day, it is the most important teachings in Mahayana Buddhism. The death of Jesus from crucifixion at age 30 was a complete tragedy but turned somehow to be the salvation of mankind or thereabouts....

One should ask; " How many spices from India made it to Nazareth?" How many thoughts and ideas came with them? How many people traveled the silk road without any evidence? What would be the likelihood of an inquisitive boy from Nazareth embarking on a journey? How much evidence is there you ate dinner in town 2 days ago or took a trip last year?

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.

Great video

Even Democracy might have been influenced by Buddism...

Jesus and Buddha teach about the same topics. What is it to be human, and how can we live in harmony. There is no surprise that they share the same wisdom. For me, Jesus travelling to India is anecdotal at best and a distraction about what is really important.

I always kind of just figured he was working as a carpenter with Joseph the whole time.

The only thing about all of this is that like any of the names of Ancient Judea, Yeshua too, was a pretty popular name, meaning that there could very well have been more than one Yeshua. All these Yeshuas may have existed and did all these things, and went to all of these places, but was it the same Yeshua that founded the Nazarene Sect. Our modern religion of Christianity was created by Paul and added to and finished off by Rome itself, and actually, has next to nothing to do with the historical, Jewish, Yeshua at all. Now was Yeshua from Nazareth, a little village that many believe did not even, exist in Yeshua's time, or a Nazarene, which seems to have been an offshoot of the Essene Community, or both? Right now, I am open to both possibilities. The Essene Community, embodied and kept alive many of the teachings and beliefs you present here. Yours in Love and Light. Out. 🖖🏼❤‍🔥😔

Alexander conquered parts of India and connected early indian culture and arts with Greek culture and arts, jesus probably went somewhere in India with a merchant caravan or something, but I do sometimes think that maybe Buddhidhama was jesus reincarnated into Buddhist culture because their teachings share eerie alignment in their similarities.

The Buddha reputedly lived at least 300 years before Jesus. You seem to compare core beliefs as if they arose contemporaneously.

Jesus is the light of the world. Buddha is the one who guides you to that light. Hallelujah Amen. Namo Shakyamuni Buddha. 🙏. ❤❤❤❤❤❤.

Thank you for this knowledge.

I've been saying this for years. I got my SATORI out of the blue and I'm sure Jesus did too. But I now use mushrooms once or twice every couple of years just to experience it again. That's what people have been doing for thousands of years. The carvings and statues show thousands of them

I have always had the same feeling. Thank you for sharing.

Which Ai voice are u using?

We are talking about the guy who walked on water, so what is a bit of distance to a guy like that? In my opinion it's only natural that an enlightened person will seek to see the world through the eyes of others.

i grew up as a buddhist and became a Christian after i came to United States. now ive been reading buddhist materials again i found them both religions are extremely similar. my guess is that Jesus Christ is another Buddha. lets not forget that according to buddhism scriptures, there are 84000 ways to enlightenment, believing in Jesus Christ may well be one the way. you honestly cant find another religion in the world more inclusive than buddhism, maybe perhaps hinduism

Right!

Why did Yeshua not write anything down himself? Why let his disciples do all the writing and twist his teachings? If he did write exactly what his teachings were then someone destroyed his true teachings, just like they dont want us to know he was in Buddhist monasteries studying meditation, Kundalini Yoga and Reiki healing tecniques. He was killed before he could teach the whole world that everyone can do healing "miracles" just like he did and even greater "miracles"!!!!

Thank you

Thank you.🙏☮️

Great man ❤❤

As a Buddhist, I do believe Jesus was in India and studied from the teachers there.

I ever dreamt ofJesus brought me to Buddha after i converted to Christian...! Jesus brought me to c Buddha & told him tt i was converted to Christian...cos' previously i was born in Buddha's family & been prayed Buddha! Just wondered is Jesus known Buddha in d past…? 🤔🙏🙏🙏😅

In Christianity the salvation comes only through faith alone, Christ alone. Their salvation is in an eternal existence. But in Buddhism the salvation is a completely different thing. It is akin to oblivion upon death - and should be realized within oneself and no outside entity can save you. Those are the biggest differences in the dogma. Means may be similar - but for completely different ends.

When we awaken. We realize everthing is connected. As a life long Christian, this is not a problem for me. I love this idea because Buddhist and Daoist though have profoundly influenced how i live out Christianity.

Back at that time, if you were born in Palestine, the only way you could learn anything different outside the scope of your faith is to literally travel to east and expose yourself to budhism, taoism etc Then, upon your return, if you were driven enough and inspired to disseminate what you've learnt, you would be prosecuted for blasphemy. Jesus was not the only person who met that end. There were many others.. When i hear that someone was exiled or even worse, executed for blasphemy, i know they went far away and returned with a teaching that didn't fit a particular society 💯

Read the book; Why God Won’t Go Away “ by Andrew Newberg, MD. Neurologist “ and Eugene D’Aquili, PhD. Basically as I understand it, the human brain is wired with systems (sympathetic, parasympathetic, autonomous systems and more) which leads humans to seek “that which is larger than ourselves” God, Source, Universe etc. Humans all over the planet, because of our brains/minds, seek ! It’s not a mystery why Buddha and Jesus, though centuries and continents apart, found the same teachings!

Buddha's concept of karma perfectly explained all the good and bad of creation whothout monothesis relious ppl struggling to justify why God allows evil in the world etc. His 4 Noble Truths encompasses the dilemma of Albrahamic God at one hand described as perfect and loving, while in another hand appears massacring beings, jealous and full of anger with demons. In summary, I see Buddha's teaching the most perfect without the loopholes of Albrahic religions.

Like many modern people seeking experiences or on spiritual journeys, traders travelled vast distances bringing spices, raw materials, such as tin, copper and other materials across established trade routes. Along with those products, would have been stories of far off places, customs and beliefs, enough to stimulate curious minds and knowledge seekers. Joseph of Aramathea was one such merchant traveller who sought raw materials, such as tin, found in few places, such as Britain. As a relative of Jesus and one who also features in the Bible, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that a young man seeking knowlege, enlightenment and seeking answers to his own curiosity about Judaism, and other phylosphies may have also journied to seek truth, satisfy his that curiosity and expand his own mind. There is a lot of information out there for crtical thinkers to examine and information and other views and not just accept mainstream views, like that of main stream media that bombard our minds with mainstream view points. Keep seeking the truth and form your own opinions and continue to ask questions. As we know, not everything we are taught in history is truth.

All these theories about Jesus being a Buddhist have no concrete proof and simply just speculations. The important thing is not whether Jesus is a Buddhist or not but his teachings….. 🙏🙏🙏

One of the most fascinating subjects on earth is never really given any credence or time. This alone does not make sense . What was he doing up to his early 30s?

If Jesus didn't travel to India, India traveled to Palestine..but wait a minute,if Jesus travel to India,how comes in his teaching he didn't quote gitas or Dhamaparda, only quoted Jewish sacred books.?? In concise,I conclude both Jesus and Buddha ,taught universal truth.

and finally, my theory The Buddha lived 500 years before Jesus in 500 years the teachings of Buddha could easily have reached Israel . Even if only in conversation. the Dharma is something else it is more than just conversation. You need a teacher. but there would be still many moving around and maybe went the other way. Someone from India found him.? what strikes me is the interdependence of all knowledge. I have never met Albert Einstein but I do know the theory of relativity and he was alive in my lifetime not 500 years before! If you ask everyday people about quantum physics, they will look at you as if you’ve gone mad even though this knowledge is quite easy to understand and there are many ways you can learn about it. Overall, how would I learn about enlightenment from Jesus stories? Well, it teaches me about the interdependence of all beings. And information.. But also that information is not knowledge knowledge comes from experience. And none of this on your video is experiential apart from the video.? Also, do we know if Jesus was even literate?

As a Buddhist I strongly believe Jesus teachings are a way of Buddhism teaching.

So in which period are those scripts and texts,scroll written? Tibetan.

It's been a strange relationship with " Yeshua" and me bcs I hated when I was told if I was saved by Jesus and to give my life to him. That never resonated with me, however the more I delved into spirituality the more I resonated with Buddhism. One day Yeshua appear in a dream, I was in a place that looked like a purgatory and these zombies were climbing out of their graves. He came charging on a horse, drew a sword and put that zombie back into his grave. Then he went back. In another dream I saw him in Egypt, then right after the plandemic😅 saw him again and we had a brief conversation. To me Yeshua was a Buddhist at heart, a Jew by birth and a Christian by the people. Do I love him? YES❤ but he's not what Christianity says he is. Cheers 😊

Consider others as yourself: this the most profound teaching in Buddhism, only the person see the Buddha nature would say so, as they see we are ultimately the same as one!

He studied in Egypt too!!!

19:02 Many biblical narratives were disseminated by word of mouth across the centuries, in the form of oral tales and poetry, before being written down.

The truth about this topic can be found recorded in the history book known as the Urantia Papers. It's a channeled book according to the higher powers of the earthly realms and heavens.

Buddism and 'The Buddha' did not acknowle 'God' Jesus (Yashua) did, it is possible that he took idea's from Buddist Monks and added them to his own ministry, we cannot prove he did but the we cannot prove he did not, its just a possibility.

Some thoughts here. I do not think from the Chapter Eight that this would have taken ESA or H(J)Esaus many years to go from Nazareth to India. I used H as when transliterated from Hebrew and Greek to Spanish we have the H sound. You see from Palestine into Syria or Greater Levant the great teacher may have traversed Euphrates or crossed Arabia from there the sea route to India really cuts the journey time. Also what transmission of ideas or concepts were already well underway in the Millenia prior? If ESA was not crucified as not everyone believes he was put to the cross then that leaves open for his travelling and having a family. No one really knows the man although his fame seems to have taken a greater personality post the attempt to murder him. Before he was not massively popular apart from those unfortunate poorer persons.

that is true

Thank you. I was created I have an ability to create, I am not separate from my creator. I am the way.

Every religion is same just the language and traditions are different, the goal of all religion is same, every religion says to do right things,❤

❤

The five precepts for lay people in Buddhism and the commandments in Christianity may be similar in worldly affairs. However, even here, in Buddhism it’s not a command from Buddha. The ideology behind Buddhas teaching is purification of the mind and hence thoughts. That’s why there are no ‘thou shall not’ in Buddhism. Instead we say ‘ I shall abstain from taking another’s life, I shall abstain from taking what is not given to me…’ etc. We are responsible for our actions and there’s no one to forgive our sins. We must atone for them ourselves in the form of karma. Christianity and Buddhism are fundamentally different especially in the metaphysical - we don’t believe in a creator- god; we don’t believe in a soul. Buddhism is not a religion, it’s reality, the truth about existence of all beings, including gods, brahmas, animals, the plant world and micro biome, hell bound beings, all in existence- even beings outside our solar system. However, Lord Buddha does not encourage us to go behind such things and urges us to seek nirvana because samsara - the endless cycle of birth and death ( because of the probability of being born in unwholesome realms) is stated as horrendous. Christianity doesn’t talk about that, now does it?

It's easy to make the big claims that sound so nice like, "they taught similar things", but if you really learn or even better- experience both Christianity and Buddhism yourself, you'll see that they are worlds apart, conflicting as a matter of fact.

No need for Jesus to have gone to India to study as India may have already been present, in its teachings, in Sepphoris, a Roman (and Jewish city) about an hour's walk from Nazareth. There is evidence for Buddhism having reached the Egypt and the lands around the Mediterranean via the Greeks centuries before Jesus' time.

Why dont you talk abouth in the 3rdBC emperor ashoka's spread of buddism throughout all directions of the world and as a result of that is.,what existing buddism even now a day. Emperor ashoka 's one main direction was west directions through Afghanistan. So its well enough time to spread buddhist philosophy to the west at the time the Jesus was born.

As a child when I learned of Buddhism being raised Catholic...I KNEW. YOU CAN NOT MISS IT! Yes he was.

🙏🙏🙏

More and more I am starting to doubt the accuracy of the information presented on this channel. Different than my initial experience on this channel.

arguments

I’m not dreamt of Jesus & Buddha one time only! It’s several times I saw them in my dreams…! Sometimes I wondered who m I so special…that they known me well than I know them…? Besides I born to be very special…?🤔🤔🤔😅😅😅🙏🙏🙏

Hey ! The past is present the future is now !!

Jesus never mention or talk about other religion in His teachings in the New Testament at all. How come He has travelled to India full of the religions and yet He keep quiet about His leanings in India.

He sure didn't learn about the True Self in Mediterranean fairytales. You know the original Self or as he said the beginning and the end. Same as Moses with the sage that burned with the fire does not consume. "I am who I am" I am verb and not noun as in I am the experience behind the the material. Buddhists say I am no-thing. I (True I) am the Way. The Truth behind the impermanence. The Life that never dies. The I Am presence that is, was and always will be...

It's all about the Message, not the Messenger.🙏👍

As an Christian African, it's kinda weird to hear yall talk about these theories... Jesus Christ is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT/ respected and loved by us Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Holy trinity 🙏 But i have found it weird that skipped to age 30's, what was happening in those years...

Matt, are you a robot? Why do you pronounce Issa 2 different ways during the video. I hate to think AI is being used to create these videos!!!

It's easy to believe that Xuan Tsang reached India, studied in Nalanda for years, and went back to China. He brought artifacts and sutras proven by physical existence of them. By teaching, his teaching of Yogacara have sutras from India, and he taught it in China in the same stream of understanding and essence. But as for Jesus reaching India, hmmm... How did he reach India by foot and how long. Did he bring artifacts when he went back to Israel? Is his teaching "exactly" the same with what he taught his disciples Israel? Also, the Qur'an says Jesus's name is ISA. How did the Qur'an, an Arabic text, has the name of Jesus exactly the same as how the so-called Indians call him? Are Indians Arabic by language? Think, think, think ...

Buddha is the 9th Avataar of the all pervading Vishnu - the 8th avatar of vishnu which is "Krishna" in Greek is "Christos" which further translates to English as "Christ" - and the church says its just a coincidence 😂 - Our ancestors were not dummies - we are all talking about the same thing, yet fighting because the true intent for certain humans is political control, not really to understand the nature of reality

there's a story in india about a place where jesus was buried. it is located in jammu and kashmir. it is a mosque like structure faced at north east but mosque of muslims are always faced at south west direction and muslims believe this is the place where jesus was burried. and also bible doesn't have record of 13 years of jesus life.

This is true. I put this comment because some one find out the truth. Do you know in india there is a technique call kandam readings. I know this story because of that. Hmm this is how i got the story. There was a thero a buddhist monk called ananda mithree who got bit of interest about jessu's past and he travveled to india and done the kandam. The kandam it self is this way. This kandam sasthra doing tamil people its very cheap bit you got to know tamil. You have to go front of this kandam doing people and this people guide you. Then they taking out old book and they telling you to think of the problem you having. Then they (tamil person) will look your righthand and looking for certain line and then he or she start to search about that line from the book. Then the person taking out the piece of paper from this old book and let the seeker to see that paper. And the question the seeker thought ans answer written on that paper. Ok this was done by monk anada thero with this same question and the answer was this. Jessus was a deciple of lord buddha and then he understood this good news of lord buddha and Jesus was the only first person who try send the good news to west. And much more story there i cant tell it from mere comment. How ever these stories kept hidden because this stories was distributed by language like sinhala tamil malayalam like languages plus people dont care about the origin of jesus. Jesus done a good job if thats good no need to know what is the origin is. If some body curiouse about theses kind of topic this will ive you some hint. Bye

Matt, this is what we called awaken one or buddha... Jesus was an awaken one like Siddharth Gautam!!

It’s not speculation 🙏🏼

My LOVE,MY LORD JESUS SON OF GODS,ONLY USE TIMELINE, ❤😊

I left Christianity because Jesus encourages faith - no brain work, whereas Buddha taught rationality and critical thinking.

No. He left India and studied Buddhism in the area now known as Nepal

The last thing to actually believe is the history channel I think they also do UFOs and aliens! 😂

Buddhism did not exist at the times of Jesus. however, the spiritual principles are the same everywhere, although various teachings use different names for gods. What's in India is Shiva, Shakti and atman or jiva (soul, higher Self within), for Christians is Father, Holy Spirit and Son. Yogis teach that you have divine spark within you (the true Self) which you can experience thru meditation, and Jesus says "Seek the Kingdom of God" (which is the same for those who understand). "There is no way to Father but thru the Son". All religions had esoteric (secret) side to them. There was always a general teaching for the ignorant crowd not capable of understanding the spiritual principles, and another teaching that was designed for the students of the great Teacher, the founder of the religion. You may call these students disciples or apostles, does not matter. So for an ignorant peasant Jesus was God in human body, who died on the cross and resurrected. For better educated disciples Jesus was the Kingdom of God , the Divine Consciousness, which is within all of us, but hidden due to low level of our spiritual consciousness. The goal is to experience this divine Self first hand, rather than understand it intellectually or thru faith. Whether it is yoga style meditation to pierce the veil of ignorance or Christian prayer to meet the Son (Kingdom of God) within yourself and connect with Father, this is all the same. In conclusion, Jesus was no Buddhist. He was a Jew, educated in Tora, celebrated Jewish holidays (in fact he was arrested by Roman soldiers when was celebrating Jewish Passover). He used spiritual terminology that does not show any influence of India or Tibet. But the essence of his spiritual teaching is the same for those who understand.

Jesus is the only way , the truth and life, no one will enter the heaven except through him

Wha ?

Jesus is not as loving and compassionate as the stone aged religious modifications made this figurative figure out to be. Where he instructed his followers to kill(to catch fish), where he killed so many pigs after sending evil spirits into them, where himself said he didn't bring peace to this world and even he(coz he identifies with his father) instructed and even slaughtered innocent masses...it's clear what he stood for. Buddha on the other hand includes ALL beings in his ideas and teachings about compassion, kindness and love. This is one of the reasons for me leaving this outdated religion and where i instead followed this tried and tested way of the Buddha.

Was this Jesus fluent in any eastern languages? How did he communicate with the gurus? Why are we only finding out about this now? You are tripping.

Dreams are Free...born of a Virgin not an elephant

I find Jesus more influence by Hinduism as they stress there is a divine creator , as Buddhism stress on no god.

There was no need for Jesus to go learn from anyone. His purpose on earth was unique. You are just insulting Him by trying to compare Hm to a mere human who need the learn from different people to form their own opinion or thought. You maybe believers of these teachings as it is your choice but never insult what you don’t understand.

Jesus was being taught by his parents in the missing years, its jewish tradition.

👁️👁️ or was he a Taoist?

I don’t know if Jesus ever traveled to India. What I do know is that the teachings of Jesus seem to have more in common with Buddhism than modern Christianity. Especially Evangelical Christianity 😉
