Re: Buddha and Jesus, Is jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha
Cianna: I'd be interested to know how you understand "love" in the context of Christ/Buddha's teachings. As for the Buddha being the only one enlightened being: There have been many enlightened beings throughout history, both Buddhas and Arahants. In Theravada tradition, we call those who...

Re: Buddha and Jesus, Is jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha
I have read the teachings of Buddha, I was once interesting in being a Buddhist myself. If you are thinking ''biblical teachings'' than I must say that you misunderstood for the bible is not accurate, it is erroneous and contradicts itself many times. The gnostic gospels are the authentic sayings a...

what happens to people who commit suicide?
I admit I have a broken soul and experienced thoughts of suicide to escape the ones who cause me so much pain. This makes me sound like a bad person but there is no one who I trust but what could happen if I killed myself?

Re: Buddha and Jesus, Is jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha
I'm not saying that I don't believe what the Buddha taught for he taught the same thing as the Christ. Jesus taught seek the light within yourselves and you shall find. Whether your a Buddhist,wiccan,Christian, Hindu, atheist or so forth, anyone can become a Christ, Christhood is obtained when ego ...

Re: Buddha and Jesus, Is jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha
I guess my question would (aside from those about your understanding of Christian history and interpretation), from a Buddhist standpoint be: Why would we be interested in what Christ had to say? Even if he did teach some things similar to the Buddha, what you are saying does not make sense within ...

Re: Buddha and Jesus, Is jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha
There are many reasons why Jesus went to the cross, he died for the sake of the world. That is one interpretation. My own view is that he did not choose to die. He was sentenced to death against his will. This is nothing against him, just the reality of what happened. Many older religions have this...

Re: Buddha and Jesus, Is jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha
The religious Pharisees considered Jesus' teachings far too dangerous for their money hungry and power mongering ways. They had Jesus killed because his teaching of attaining liberation through love would have put them out of power. They killed Jesus and much of his teachings were lost due to the re...

Re: Buddha and Jesus, Is jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha
So none of you believe Jesus is Buddha incarnate? I wonder how he was able to perform miracles. Well thank you all for your opinions. If Jesus were the reincarnation of someone, what would make you think that someone was the Buddha? Why not some other person? Through reincarnation one can obtain sp...

Important rules of living: Buddhism: Purify yourself and practice compassion and nonviolence Wicca: Bide the law in perfect l...

Buddha and Jesus, Is jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha?
As a wiccan I believe in reincarnation like Buddhists. What crossed my mind was Buddha and Jesus. Both Buddha and Jesus were wise and spiritually enlightened sages. Are Buddha and Jesus too much alike to be different people? Check here: http://www.near-death.com/experiences/origen045.html
