Sharck, there were no missing years of Jesus and the scriptures say that he was sent to the lost house of Israel not the lost house of India!!!! As to Bhuddism it is an affront to God. Chris

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity" ~Albert Einstein Where Einstein could have been more correct , is that Buddhism is not in it's essence a "religion". But a practical way of living more fully in the present, in harmony with both the elements and spirit. ... At the heart of every great religion , one surely finds the practice of meditation, the seeking of right understanding right thinking right speech right conduct right livelihood right effort right mindfulness right concentration .... One can be a Jew , Christian , Moslem or any other follower of a Prophet and religious set of beliefs...and also, without conflict be a Buddhist. regards, Mars

*Also interesting to note , that Buddha delivered what were called "Sermons on the Mount", over a weekly period on trek thru India after he received his "Enlightenment". (These original "Sermons on the Mount" were delivered 500 years before the birth of the one who would become the Martyr of Jewish reform, Jesus of Nazereth, and a young Rabbi consumed with the concept of Non-violence. ) These Sermons were delivered to what in those times would have been considered a "multitude" . What we know of Buddha's life and the spread of his insights and teachings is great , for one who lived 500 BCE . The world had never seen the spread of such a force of thought before or after, with such speed. Extending as far as Japan , thru India, China, Southeast Asia and easily into what is no known as the middle East. It was brought forth by teaching Monks that taught the Way of Truth by compassion , non-violence , self discipline , and love of all life . hope this helps , regards , Mars
