According to the BBC Jesus became a Buddhist monk for a time in India (tslpl.org).
How insulting to even ask this question -- and to keep asking it! How many times does a legend have to be mentioned or cited before it becomes true?
No, Jesus Christ did not exist... at least not the one we know. But there was a historical character, documented in Tibetan texts kept at Hemis Gompa a Vajrayana Buddhist monastery in Ladakh, India.
These written records were found by the Russian scholar Nicolas Notovich and published only to upset the powers that be that would forever keep hidden spiritual links East and West.
Jesus who? This BBC 4 documentary examines the question "Did Jesus die?" It examines many aspects of the question until Minute 25, when a logical if surprising conclusion demonstrates that the Three Wise Men were Buddhist monks who sought out Jesus (a tulku or reincarnated lama) and came back for him at puberty. After being trained in a Buddhist monastery he spread the Buddhist philosophy, survived the crucifixion, and returned to Kashmir, Afghanistan, where he died (or ascended to heaven to be with Brahma YHVH) an old man at the age of 80, coincidentally the age of the historical Buddha when he passed into final nirvana. Some called Jesus "Maitreya" (Messiah?) the Buddha-to-come.
The astrotheological Pagan "Christ" (king) is the fabrication. Those Pagan elements are now to embroidered into the story of the world's most famous Nazarene/Palestinian/African (Egyptian) Middle Easterner.
Indian lore says the young traveling "Jesus" (Y'shua or "Zeus's son," son of Y'HWH, according to St. Constantine at the Council, which put together the Christian canon and made many, many popular texts concerning Jesus's life heretical texts to be burned).
He became a yogi, a saddhu, a Buddhist monk, after being a stonemason (not a carpenter) and an observant Jew who came to Kashmir, in frontier India, the land that still remembered the Buddha, who himself seems to have been born in the India of then which is now Afghanistan.
But this is too radical to contemplate for anyone who has not seen the prodigious evidence and scholarship. Here is a book by a vetted professor who passed muster with the knowledge filterers in the university system claiming to be an agnostic.

Did Jesus exist?
Prof. Bart Ehrman, UNC, Chapel Hill
So did Jesus really exist? With his new book, Did Jesus Exist? The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth, Bart Ehrman, historian and professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, wanted to provide solid historical evidence for the existence of Jesus [stripped of myth].
"I wanted to approach this question as an historian to see whether that's right or not," Ehrman tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz.
The answer is straightforward and widely accepted among scholars of all faiths, but Ehrman says there is a large contingent of people claiming that Jesus never did exist. These people are also known as mythicists.
"It was a surprise to me to see how influential these mythicists are," Ehrman says. "Historically, they've been significant and in the Soviet Union, in fact, the mythicist view was the dominant view. And even today, in some parts of the West -- in parts of Scandinavia -- it is a dominant view that Jesus never existed," he says.
Mythicists' arguments are fairly plausible, Ehrman says. According to them, Jesus was never mentioned in any Roman sources and there is no archeological evidence that Jesus ever existed. Even Christian sources are problematic – the Gospels come long after Jesus' death, written by people who never saw the man.
"Most importantly," he explains, "these mythicists point out that there are Pagan gods who were said to die and rise again and so the idea is that Jesus was made up as a Jewish god who died and rose again." LISTEN

Traditionally, the April full moon is known as "the Pink Moon," supposedly as a tribute to the grass pink or wild ground phlox, considered one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring.
Other monikers include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and, among coastal Native American tribes, the Full Fish Moon, for when the shad came upstream to spawn.
(Traditional names for the full moons of the year are found in some publications, such as the Farmers' Almanac. We also published the complete list of full moon names here on SPACE.com. More + Photos
