Siddhartha Gautama was born 500 years before Jesus. I'm pretty certain if they'd both been born at the same time they would of been good mates. History has altered the W̶r̶i̶t̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ teachings so much it has caused many contradictions. Not just in Christianity, but everywhere! 21:52 *Walk barefoot and a stroll through the shallow waters of the sea!* 🕊
Thank you.Bhante. From what Ive read about Jesus, I believe he was an enlightened man. It is thought by many biblical scholars that the church added details of Jesus being the son of God in later manuscripts. The reason is until the fourth century no manuscripts were found to contain any mention of Jesus being a God. This was done of course to strengthen ties with allies. One God United we fight. However many times in the bible Jesus is clearly seen as human. Anger in the temple, he tried to heal a blind women but could not and had to retreat to the forest with her for three days because he was too distracted in the village. He grieved for his friend Lazarus. Unfortunately nothing was written about Jesus until about 200 years after his death.I do believe Jesus did offer much help to the world. It may be one of the worst things mankind has done to itself be altering the truth. Plus it does not take a genius to know if your running around causing trouble for the Romans they are going to do something about it. The Romans leveled Jerusalem around 70 AD so there was tension. Plus after sermon on the mount crowds dwindled. He was stuck going from village to village, I would imagine begging and looking for students. Even at his crucifiction there is no mention of his family being there( I think one brother was mentioned). After they stabbed him with a spear, they then ran nails through his hands and feet and hoisted to hang by his tendons. But the Christ did one thing that will forever cement the fact of his teaching. He turned to the other 2 people being tortured next to him and said neither do I condemn thee. So I do find some crossover if I use the tools that Im capable of.
Biku, what are your thoughts on drug induced "awakening"? This happened unintentionally, due to steroid psychosis, from a cascade of prescription interactions. I saw the truth, and it's what led me to the path.

Its funny but Jesus was a 1st century Jewish Rabbi. The soul or afterlife was not believed by any Jew let alone a Rabbi. I know he says the human soul is worth more than anything but that would have been impossible for him to say because at that time they had no context. And certainly his Jewish disciples would have raised some serious questions. It would be like a monk saying the only salvation is through god. There is no context for it. I often think the Christ teachings are really for those higher up the spiritual ladder. For me the difficulty in Jesus teachings is he teaches we are living in error. Not sin but error in mind. So even though he states follow all the laws, practise good behavior and such the actual resolution of error ( causes and conditions)is resolved within consciousness. So basically I understand that the truth ( whatever that is) is within me but not through mind and to fully dissolve a desire or anything actually, the problem is first resolved within.
Bhante, is the Citta what gets reborn if it is not l8berated from desires/ past karma?
Blessings!
