Why are Buddhism and Christianity so alike? The superficial similarities are astonishing. Then later the language branches apart as Christian apologists interpret terms like "born again" not as rebirth but as something that happens only in this life. The "Kingdom of God" goes from meaning something like the ultimate goal of Buddhism but then waters down the term in accordance with Sumerian and Jewish conception. "Eternal Life" replaces "the Deathless state" (amata), a synonym of Nirvana.
What was Jesus of Nazareth doing during the "lost years"? He travelled with a Jewish merchant caravan to Buddhist Kashmir, India, and Tibet, lived as a Buddhist monk in Tibetan Buddhist Hemis Gompa (lamasery) in Ladakh, high in the Himalayas on the border of Tibet, and practiced within Mahayana Buddhist and later in Hindu traditions, as Nicolas Notovitch discovered and reported to the West.
Notovitch saw, handled, and copied written records then wrote about it. It caused a wave of controversy and investigations trying to steal those written records. Swami Abhedananda followed in the footsteps of Notovitch and confirmed his story, even as Western investigators were unable to steal the original documents. While this may be very hard to take seriously, see the undeniable scholarship and evidence of Holger Kersten (tombofjesus.info/holger-kersten) and others.
Discovering evidence of Jesus (Issa) in India
In 1887 the Russian Christian correspondent Nicolas Notovitch claimed that while at the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh, he had learned of the document "Life of Saint Issa, Best of the Sons of Men" – Isa being the Arabic name of Jesus in Islam.[31][32]
Notovitch's story, with a translated text of the "Life of Saint Issa," was published in French in 1894 as La vie inconnue de Jesus Christ (Unknown Life of Jesus Christ).[6][32] According to the scrolls, Jesus abandoned Jerusalem at the age of 13 and set out towards Sind, “intending to improve and perfect himself in the divine understanding and to studying the laws of the great Buddha.”
He crossed Punjab and reached Puri Jagannath, where he studied the Vedas under Brahmin priests. He spent six years in Puri and Rajgirh, near the Buddhist monastery Nalanda (the first modern university), and an ancient seat of Hindu learning.
Then he went to the Himalayas and spent time in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, studying Buddhism, and returned through Persia (Aryan Iran, see ranajitpal.com), then returned to Jerusalem at the age of 29. Notovitch's writings were immediately controversial. More
