<<<< where it is the Christian egocentricism

Perhaps you are a bit confused. All nations that have called upon the name of the Lord Jesus have excelled beyond the rest of mankind in technology, in warfare, in commerce, in citizens equality, etc. Meanwhile nations that have so foolishly embraced the teachings of Buddha for the most part are known for being highly superstitious, have an extremely high mortality rate and are very adamant against change.

<<<<And it's just a co-incidence that there is a John the Baptist doing it by the river Jordan 2 centuries later ?>>>>

You are wrong about it being two centuries, try about 450 years. For your reading pleasure consider the following passage found in the scriptures that took place about 400 years before Buddha was ever born.

And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

You see it wasn't an original idea that came out of India after all.
