We've been LIED to about Christianity

Young Jesus (known in Buddhism as Issa) in India and Tibet

Does curel, bloody black magic animal sacrifice really undergird all of modern Christianity?

.

The Church knew, buried truth

In 1887, Russian Christian war correspondent Nicolas Notovitch claimed that while traveling through the Himalayas with other Russian, he was thrown from a horse and broke his leg.

The others left him to recover over the winter at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery known as Hemis Gompa in Ladakh (now part of India), he was shown written documentation called the "Life of Saint Issa, Best of the Sons of Men" (Isa being the Arabic name of Jesus in Islam) by the Buddhist abbot [30][31][32].

Christian Nicolas Notovitch

Notovitch's story, with a translated text of the "Life of Saint Issa," was published upon his return to the West in French in 1894 as La vie inconnue de Jesus Christ (Unknown Life of Jesus Christ) [5][32].

 

According to the Buddhist scrolls, Jesus (Issa) abandoned Jerusalem, Palestine/Israel, at the age of 13 and set out towards India, "intending to improve and perfect himself in the divine understanding and to studying the laws [the Dharma or Doctrine] of the great Buddha."

The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ

He crossed Punjab and reached Puri Jagannath, where he studied the Brahmin priests' Vedas (sacred text, lit. "Knowledge Books").

He spent six years in Puri and Rajgir (the famous Buddhist city Rajagriha, site of Vultures' Peak and Venuvana/Veluvana Vihara), near Nalanda (site of the world's first university, a Buddhist monastic learning center in India), an ancient seat of Brahminical/Vedic learning.

Then Issa/Jesus/Yeshua went up into the Himalayas and spent time in Tibetan lamaseries, studying Buddhism [30], and continued on through Persia (the Aryan Land of Iran), and returned to Jerusalem at the age of 29.

Christendom shaken

Jesus Lived in India: Unknown Life (H. Kersten)

Notovitch's writings were immediately controversial, and German scholar Max Müller stated that either the Buddhist lamas at the lamasery had deceived Notovitch (or played a joke on him), or he had fabricated the evidence [30][33][34].

Müller then wrote to the Buddhist monastery at Hemis, and the [replacement] head lama replied that there had been no Western visitor at the monastery in the past 15 years and there were no documents related to Notovitch's story [35].

J. Archibald Douglas then visited Hemis Gompa and interviewed the [new] head lama, who stated that Notovitch had never been there [35].

Indologist Leopold von Schroeder called Notovitch's story a "big fat lie" [36]. Wilhelm Schneemelcher states that Notovich's accounts were soon exposed as fabrications and that to date no one has even had a glimpse at the manuscripts Notovitch claims to have had [5] [which is untrue since Swami Abhedananda traveled to Hemis and was allowed to see, touch, and confirm their existence].

The Jesus Conspiracy: Turin

Notovich defended himself by responding to these attacks and claims [37]. However, once his story was reexamined by historians – some even questioning his existence – they claimed Notovitch confessed to having fabricated the evidence [36].

American scholar Bart D. Ehrman states that, "Today there is not a single recognized scholar on the planet who has any doubts about the matter [other than German scholar Holger Kersten and his colleague German Indologist Gunter Gronbold, author of Jesus in Indien]. The entire story was invented by Notovitch, who earned a good deal of money and a substantial amount of notoriety for his hoax" [38].

• Jesus Lived in India: His Unknown Life Before and After the Crucifixion (Holger Kersten)

However, others deny this. Notovich never accepted any accusations against him – that his account was a forgery or any such thing.

Although not impressed with his story, Sir Francis Younghusband recalls meeting Nicolas Notovitch near Skardu not long before Notovitch visited Hemis monastery [39].

Swami Abhedananda

In 1922, the President of the Vedanta Society of New York between 1897 and 1921 and the author of several books Swami Abhedananda went to the Himalayas on foot and reached Tibet, where he studied Buddhist philosophy and Tibetan Buddhism.

He traveled to Hemis Gompa and allegedly found the manuscript Notovitch claimed and translated, which was a Tibetan translation of the original scrolls written in the exclusively Buddhist language Pali.

One of the lamas said that it was a copy and that the original was in a monastery at Marbour near the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.

• The unknown years of Jesus

After Abhedananda's death in 1939, one of his disciples inquired about the documents at the Hemis Gompa but was told that they had disappeared [40][41] [which is to say moved for safety so that Westerners would not come kill everyone and steal them to hide the truth in accord with their sectarian religious views]. More

The 18 Lost Years of Jesus Revealed

BOMBSHELL EVIDENCE: The 18 lost years of Jesus, what ancient archives reveal

(Whispers of Wisdom Within) 🔥 The Hidden Truth: Ancient Bible stories that unlock lost mysteries of Jesus Christ!

This eye-opening AI documentary explores a great mystery in religious history -- the 18 missing years of Jesus Christ's life that remain unaccounted for in traditional biblical texts.

While the canonical gospels are silent about Jesus from ages 12 to 30, which is 60 of his life, ancient Buddhist manuscripts preserved in a Tibetan Buddhist lamasery (Hemis gompa or monastery), now in the Himalayas of India in Ladakh.

Ethiopia's remote monasteries record additional details. Discover how the world's oldest continuously Christian nation preserved texts that were excluded from the Western church's Bible, including detailed accounts of Jesus's journeys across Asia and the Middle East during his formative years.

The Ethiopian Bible, which contains 88 books rather than the standard 66, provides astonishing details about Jesus's education and spiritual development that were systematically removed from Western Christian traditions during its councils [and the making of "Caesar's Messiah," as reported by Joseph Atwood].

Take this AI-enhanced journey to investigate compelling evidence from ancient Ethiopian manuscripts, alongside corroborating discoveries from the Tibetan/Indian/Chinese Himalayas and Egypt, which reveal Jesus's extensive travels and studies with Eastern spiritual traditions before beginning his short ministry.

What was so revolutionary about these missing years that powerful religious authorities purposely worked to erase them from history? Watch to decode ancient texts, examine linguistic connections, and analyze archeological evidence that suggests Jesus synthesized wisdom from multiple spiritual traditions (Jainism, Brahmanism/Vedic Hinduism, Buddhism, Egyptian mystery schools, and early Ethiopian spirituality) to create his revolutionary teachings.

This carefully researched presentation challenges conventional understanding while offering a more complete picture of history's most influential (and to some extent make believe) spiritual figure.

When Jesus walked in India (video)

When Jesus Walked in India | The Christ Series

(Spirit Science) In this episode of The Christ Series, we delve into one of the most intriguing and lesser-known chapters of Jesus’s life: his journey to India, drawing from historical accounts, ancient written manuscripts stored at Hemis Gompa, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Ladakh in the Himalayas, and other spiritual traditions.

• 04:20 - Other references
• 05:39 - The Yoga science
• 07:06 - Unity of East and West
• 08:58 - Master your meditations

This episode explores the possibility that Jesus, known as Issa in the East (and Isa in Islam), traveled through India, Nepal, Persia, and Tibet during his 18 “lost years.” Along this remarkable pilgrimage, he is said to have studied the Vedas (ancient Knowledge Books of the Indus Valley Civilization, now the holy scriptures of Hinduism, Buddhist sutras, and yogic practices, immersing himself in the profound spiritual teachings of the Mystic East.

As we trace his steps through sacred cities like Puri and the majestic Himalayan peaks, we uncover the transformative impact of this journey on his teachings. From challenging orthodoxy to sharing wisdom with the lower castes, even escaping danger from Zoroastrian priests (Parsis), Jesus’s story is both awe-inspiring and very human.

His lessons on inward prayer, fasting, and seeking the inner Kingdom of God within echo the meditative practices of yoga and the universal truths of self-realization and divine communion.

This episode also highlights the convergence of Eastern and Western traditions, showcasing how Jesus’s spiritual mission transcends cultural and religious boundaries. It calls us to recognize our shared spiritual heritage, bridging the depths of Eastern spirituality with the practicality of Western ideals.

Embark on this cinematic (AI recreated) exploration of faith and discovery, where the teachings of Jesus meet the wisdom of the East, illuminating a universal path to love (ahimsa), harmony, and divine purpose.

Jesus in Buddhism: Buddha, Devadatta

Jesus in Buddhism: Jesus as a bodhisattva

(BuddhaVerse) Some Buddhists perceive Jesus as a bodhisattva — a being trying to become fully spiritually enlightened to "save" others by guiding them to spiritual enlightenment, as all beings at some time or other are striving for liberation from suffering and rebirth.

• [The Ayutthaya Kingdom was in ancient Siam (modern Thailand), which resisted Christian missionaries and their Catholic (Vatican) hegemony.]
• Where did Jesus get his famous Seamless saffron robe [Vajrayana-like Buddhist tunic smock like some swamis, such as Parahamsa Yogananda, use] of Jesus?
• Why do swamis wear pajama robes rather than real robes? 
• [Who is Devadatta? He was once a great monk who made the mistake of pursuing magical powers rather than liberation, squandering his great fortune to know and be close to the Buddha. Devadatta is the Judas Iscariot figure in Buddhism who, rather than practicing for awakening, grew an ego so big he tried to usurp the Buddha and take over the Sangha ("spiritual community" the Buddha had built, which may have had 80,000 or more members since many of those members were members because of their attainment of the paths-and-fruits, and the majority of them would have been devas (angelic light beings visiting or living on the human plane) rather than humans on Earth. Devadatta was the Buddha's cousin, the brother of his former wife (Bimba Devi, known as Princess Yasodhara, with a long history of envy and rivalry with the buddha-to-be or the Bodhisatta, as the Buddha referred to himself when talking about times and events before his great enlightenment). Devadatta held a grudge, and though he did much good in becoming a monk and practicing for 40 years or so, he was rotten and one of the very worst people in the history of Buddhism, almost on par with Mara Namuci. He was not the Buddha's brother, whose name was Nanda, the sibling of their sister Sundari Nanda, who became enlightened monastics like so many of the Scythians/Sakas/Shakyians did, even Devadatta's sister Ven. Yasodhara (who is obscured in Buddhism as badly as "Mary" is in Christianity, hidden by the use of many names to refer to her: Rahulamata or "Rahula's Mother"), Bhadda, Bhadda Kaccana Theri, Bhaddakacca, Bhadda Sundari, Bimba Devi, and Subhadakka, who after the Buddha's return home became a nun, a knowledgeable disciple of the Dharma, an unbeatable debater, and a respected and beloved fully enlightened elder (theri) Buddhist nun, along with the Buddha's mother and many Scythian/Saka princesses and family members, including their son Ven. Rahula, "foremost in doing quiet good."]

Some beings commit to striving not only for full awakening (arahantship) but also supreme or perfect awakening (samma-sam-buddhahood, Sanskrit samyak-sam-buddha) to be able to effectively help others gain realization or bodhi and achieve liberation or nirvana, which is the extinction of ignorance because only an illusion came into and goes out of being.

• [One can argue that there are three types of buddhas: (1) the fully supremely enlightened, (2) the fully enlightened nonteaching or "silent" (pacceka) buddha, and (3) the fully enlightened personal buddha (arahant). All three experience the exact same awakening to the truth, but the first two have special knowledge, and the first has special abilities (the ten powers) beyond. What makes a buddha so extraordinary is that he (as there seems to be no shes because any being bent on supreme enlightenment, a bodhisatta, needs two things to succeed, at least according to Theravada Buddhism, and in doing so will repeatedly be reborn as a male, as the Dalai Lama and Vajrayana Buddhism agree with the ancient Theravada commentaries. Those two are a vow of strong determination to achieve self-awakening at a time when the Dharma no longer exists and no one is being liberated and a sure prediction of success by a current buddha. When the historical Buddha Siddhartha Gautama, aka "Shakyamuni" or the "Sage of the Scythians/Sakas," determined to become a buddha, he did so in the presence of Dipankara Buddha aeons ago, or at least many generations ago as kappa/kalpa may also refer to an ordinary human lifespan at the time, and this span is very variable, going from less than 100 years up to 80,000 years, Dipankara Buddha knew his determination and gave him a prediction of eventual success. How long it takes to eventually succeed is hard to fathom and/or calculate. If a kappa/kalpa is translated as it normally is, it can be millions or hundreds of millions or hundreds of billions of years, astronomical time, archeological time, epochs, ages, which does not make sense since in that deep past there were Vedas ("Knowledge Books") and Sanskrit  language texts and Brahmins (brahmanas) and wandering ascetics (shramanas) and things that seem like much more recent developments on the human plane, which would not seem to have existed millions and billions of years ago. But that is the official Theravada line. We prefer to think that buddhas and tirthankaras like Mahavira, the Nigantha Nataputta (aka Vardhamana), the founder of Jainism, arise much more frequently than that, something more in the range of being separated by thousands or tens of thousands of years rather than aeons. The historical Buddha Gautama named 24 or so previous buddhas and many pacceka buddhas, never suggesting to anyone they pursue those careers but constantly, daily, encouraging and helping countless human and deva beings to become arhats or fully enlightened disciples as quickly as possible. Why? Everything can wait, but our pursuit of wisdom and compassion cannot wait. The opportunity to ever hear and practice the Dharma/Dhamma is so incredibly rare that we have to seize the day and practice, learn, hear, and ask teachers NOW. There's only now.]

His selfless actions and willingness to sacrifice himself for others align with the ideals of a Buddhist bodhisattva [and his training in ancient Tibet/ now India at Hemis Buddhist Monastery in Ladakh in the Himalayas, where Vajrayana (a form of Mahayana) Buddhist lamas are taught to strive for bodhisattva careers rather than personal enlightenment and liberation.

• See the work of Nicolas Notovitch, Swami Abhedananda, Holger Kersten, American cult leader Elizabeth Clare Prophet (The Lost Years of Jesus: Documentary Evidence of Jesus' 17-Year Journey to the East), and many others for documentation concerning the "lost years" of Jesus of Nazareth or Saint Issa as he was known in the East or Isa as he is referred to in Islam].

The Dalai Lama has repeatedly expressed admiration for Jesus Christ [who is explained with shocking clarity as a mystery school leader by Ancient Greek biblical scholar Dr. Ammon Hillman], calling him a great teacher of love and compassion. He emphasizes that Christianity and [Mahayana] Buddhism can learn from each other despite doctrinal differences.

Happy Epiphany, Jesus: Three Magi visit

• Jesus' true teachings will destroy Christianity as we know it

Epiphany (/əˈpɪfəni/ ə-PIF-ə-nee), also known as "Theophany" in Eastern Christian tradition [5], is a Christian feast day commemorating the visit of the Magi (the Three Wise Men), the baptism of Jesus (Issa, Yeshua), and the wedding at Cana [6].

• 

  Unmistaken Child

  The Buddhist connection is that Jesus the Nazarene was considered a tulku (important incarnation of a significant spiritual figure) by Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhists, who sent a party to confirm his rebirth and invite him to Tibet, where indeed Jesus later visited, stayed, and trained for 18 "lost" years to recognize and develop his spiritual gifts and embark on his mission as a prophet, teacher or, as Christians would have it, God incarnate (a Hindu Avatar). This sort of search party of mysterious "Magi" from the East is sent out whenever a Rinpoche, Panchen Lama, or Dalai Lama is expected in a certain region of the earth. See Unmistaken Child for general details.

Oi vey, three Wise Men bring herbs: turmeric, frankincense, and myrrh

I trained as a Buddhist in Hemis

In Western Christianity, the feast commemorates principally (but not solely) the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child, and thus Jesus Christ's physical manifestation to the Gentiles [7, 8].

It is sometimes called Three Kings' Day, and in some traditions celebrated as Little Christmas [9] (like the longtime Christian Armenians, who may be Christians because Noah's Ark is rests around Mount Ararat).

Moreover, the feast of the Epiphany, in some denominations, also initiates the liturgical season of Epiphanytide [10, 11].

10 major theological differences between Catholics and Protestants

Nic Notovitch discovered written Tibetan texts

Eastern Christians, on the other hand, commemorate the baptism of Jesus (also called Epiphany) in the Jordan River [which is a kind of Holy Ganges in Northern Africa used for ablutions], seen as his manifestation to the world as the Son of God [6] [or devaputra, lit. "son born among the devas"]. The spot marked by Al-Maghtas in Jordan, adjacent to Qasr al-Yahud in the West Bank, is considered to be the site of the baptism of Jesus and the ministry of John the Baptist [12, 13].

I leave you VP Elon Musk and Pres. JD Vance

The traditional date for the feast is January 6th (which is also the day every four years the U.S. Congress officially confirms a new president, except that time Trump called for an insurrection to take over the government, hang the VP, and rule like a dictator, according to video evidence compiled by a biased media).

However, since 1970 the celebration has been held in some countries on the Sunday after January 1. Those Eastern Churches that are still following the Julian calendar observe the feast on what, according to the internationally used Gregorian calendar, is 19 January [14], because of the current 13-day difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars [15]. The Alawites and the Middle Eastern Christians also observe the feast on January 19 [2, 3, 4].

Mar Mari Emmanuel explains difference between Catholic and Orthodox

In many Western Churches, the eve of the feast is celebrated as Twelfth Night (Epiphany Eve) on January 5.[16][17] The Monday after Epiphany is known as Plough Monday [18]. Epiphany (holiday)

Jesus in India, Tibet, and Persia: An account missing from the Bible

(rainbowlightstudio) Almost everything we know about Jesus is from the Bible (New Testament). The four New Testament gospels attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John tell a great deal about the events surrounding his conception and birth.

I trained in the Wisdom of the East

They also provide a lot of details about his ministry in Palestine and his trial, crucifixion, and resurrection, all of which occurred during the last three years of his life. However, they tell us very little about the years in between.

There’s a short account in the Gospel of Matthew that tells of how the "Holy Family" (Jesus, Joseph, and Mary) travelled into Egypt shortly after the birth of Jesus (Issa, Yeshua).

Although the Bible doesn’t provide a description of that journey, the details have been preserved in the traditions of the (Egyptian) Coptic Christian Church and a video account of that journey can be found via this link:

• Jesus in Egypt: An account missing from the Bible

Author Nicolas Notovich

In 1894, a formerly Jewish Russian explorer named Nicholas Notovich published a controversial book that claimed that during a journey through the Himalayas, he had visited a Buddhist monastery named Hemis Gompa, where he had been shown sacred Buddhist manuscripts in Pali (the exclusively Buddhist language).

They revealed that Jesus (Issa) had travelled and preached in India, Tibet, and Persia before his ministry in Palestine.

This film tells that story of that extraordinary discovery and gives an account of what those manuscripts revealed about Jesus’ journey through those countries.

Jesus in India — presentation by Edward T. Martin

(Arise Video + Photo Studio) “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52). This single line in the Bible describes the "lost" 18 years of Jesus’ life, spanning from ages 12 to 30. Where was Jesus during those years?

For those curious to know more, let's look to Edward T. Martin. He is an author and researcher whose findings are showcased in the documentary feature film Jesus In India by Paul Davids.

At the Maharishi Dome of the Age of Enlightenment in Austin, Texas, Martin reveals the legends, myths, and historical evidence of Jesus' life in India.

A few of the more provocative discoveries include clarity regarding the physical appearance of Jesus, evidence of Jesus' children, and indications of Jesus' ongoing human life after crucifixion.

THE BOOK

The Unknown Life of Jesus

The Unknown Life of Jesus: original text with photographs and map by Nicolas Notovitch has 4.6 out of 5 stars with 114 ratings. Notovitch was born into an aristocratic Jewish family but converted to Christianity in his youth.

A prolific Russian journalist, author of 12 books, (and some say a spy), he travelled widely in the East, visiting India, formerly Buddhist Afghanistan (Gandhara), and Buddhist Ladakh (formerly part of Tibet).

After a horse-riding accident that broke his leg, Notovitch recuperated at a Tibetan Buddhist lamasery (monastery) called Hemis Gompa.

There he heard of an ancient written manuscript that revealed astonishing information on the 16 "Lost Years of Jesus" -- the period between Jesus Christ's visit to the Jerusalem Temple at the age of 12 and his baptism in the Jordan River, about which the Bible is strangely silent.
