Buddha and Jesus

[Guest guest]

This seems to be the predominant view of Jesus and Christianity in the West.

God is "above" us. Jesus did say he was the Son of God. I find no difference

between the teachings of Buddha and the teachings of Jesus. There is only a

difference on emphasis and different ways of teaching. Jesus taught in

metaphor. Those metaphors get distorted into "truth" by fundamentalists.(I am

not saying you are a fundamentalist.) We are all Sons and Daughters of God.

There is no difference between God and man. God is man and man is God. It is

up to us to find that divinity in each of us. Both Buddha and Jesus were

avatars.

 

Strife has followed all the teachings of Masters but not because of their

teachings. It is because those teachings become mutated by the egos of the

people practicing those religions. If the essences of the religions were

practiced, then wars, etc. would become moot.

There is a *significant* difference between Buddha

bein g a Hindu and Jesus a Jew.

 

Buddha never really associated himself as savior of

men. Jesus on the other hand claimed being the Son of

God, etc.

 

But the single largest difference is Buddha was

self-realized and looked for the meaning of life....

for himself. Jesus claimed to be of divine origin.

 

the buddhist principle of "at the end is nothing" is

very different from the hindu emphasis on the Self.

Jesus' principles/life came and continued in judaism

spawning much strife during and since his being.

Not sure if Jesus actually proclaimed himslef as the son of God.

 

He was suppose to be of the Essene spiritual cult,and not even of

semitic or Jewish origin,but of Indo-Aryan origin of peopel that

came up from Egypt.

 

This is from a book by the Roscicrucians,who claim to be have

connections and records of the life of Jesus and the Essenes.

I find no difference between the teachings of Buddha and the

teachings of Jesus.
