so...jesus was a buddhist then?

watching this thing on the TV.

apparently the 3 wise men were buddhist llamas searching for the reincarnation of some llama.

and there are 15 years missing in jesus early life where there is no record, (he travelled to tibet)

there is a tribe which claims to be descended from an israelite tribe living in kashmir

alot of jesus teachings chime with buddhist teachings, eye of the needle, rich man etc.

after jesus was crucified and resuscitated he travelled back to kashmir because he was wanted by the romans

there is a tomb of jesus in kashmir, and the carved footprints on the tomb show the wounds from crucifiction.

so... any possibillity this is true?

The biblical account is after the resurection he walked on the earth for a while and appeared to many. He then was taken up into Heaven.

There is no account of Him ever leaving the region after the resurection.

If Jesus was a Buddhist, he would not have spoke of God.

His philosophy may have been influenced by Buddhist teachings, but I seriously doubt he ever stopped being a Jew.

but imagine him trying to teach buddhist philosophy to jewish people, if he said "god doesn't exist" he would have been laughed at, so maybe he combined a bit of buddhism with judaism.

'cause all that "second coming" guff kind of chimes with reincarnation.

and the "3 wise men from the east" could easily have been tibetans! tibetan buddhism had been around 500 years before jesus. and the silk route and spice routs provide easy travel from asia to the middle east.

You're reaching. If Tibet knew about Judah and visa-versa, it would have been mentioned in historical records of some sort.

Jesus believes in Buddhism, just not only so.

When Alexander the Great, student of Aristotle, student of Plato, student of Socrates, visited/invaded India, he brought three philosphers with him, and they met with the Buddhists of that time. It's thought that they started schools of philosophy on their return, based on Buddhism, that laid the groundwork for Christianity.

Why would he go to tibet when India is way closer. Were there even Buhdists in Tibet then?

Yeah, probably.

But the chances of the Hebrews knowing of Buddhism around the time of Jesus when the Romans, who ruled the world at the time didn't have much of a grasp on them is pretty slim.
