Many names for the Buddha

Paarsurrey says:

In my opinion; Jesus was a Buddha of the East or Buddha was a Jesus of the West or perhaps both were translation of one another in the East and West at different times, nay all the times.

I love Jesus and Mary as I do love Buddha and Krishna

Thanks
 
Hi

One can observe; how many similarities Jesus and Buddha have.

Thanks

What is your point, if I may ask?

My point is that Jesus (on whom be peace) must have come to the Punjab and Kashmir, etc

alislam.org/library/books/jesus-in-india/ch4.html

Let it be clear that Buddhist scriptures have made available to us evidence of various kinds, which, on the whole, is enough to prove that Jesus (on whom be peace) must have come to the Punjab and Kashmir, etc. I set out this evidence herein, so that all impartial people may first study it, and then by arranging it as a connected account in their minds, may themselves come to the aforesaid conclusion.

Here is the evidence.

First: the titles given to the Buddha are similar to the titles given to Jesus.

Likewise, the events of the life of Buddha resemble those of the life of Jesus. The reference here, however, is to the Buddhism of places within the boundaries of Tibet, like Leh, Lhasa, Gilgit and Hams, etc., which are the places about which it is proved that they were visited by Jesus.

With reference to the similarity of titles, it is enough to point out, that if, for example, Jesus (on whom be peace) calls himself the Light in his teachings, so, Gautama has been named the Buddha, which in Sanskrit means Light.2 If Jesus has been called the Master2 in the gospel, so the Buddha has been called Sasta or the Master; if Jesus has been called Blessed in the Gospels, so the Buddha has been named Sugt, i.e., the Blessed.

If Jesus has been called Prince, so has the Buddha been called Prince. Jesus has also been described by the Gospels as one who fulfils the object of his coming, so has the Buddha been called in Buddhistic scriptures Siddhartha i.e., one who fulfils the object of his coming.

Jesus has also been called by the Gospels the Refuge of the Tired, so has the Buddha in Buddhistic scriptures been called Asarn Sarm, i.e., the refuge of the refugeless. Jesus has also been called by the Gospels King, though he interpreted it as King of the Kingdom of Heaven, so also the Buddha has been called King.

The similarity of events is proved by events such as these. Just as Jesus was tempted by the Devil with the riches and kingdoms of the world provided he prostrated himself to him, so was Buddha tempted when the Devil said to him that he would give him the pomp and splendour of kings if he abandoned the severity of his living and returned home. But, just as Jesus did not obey the Devil, so, it is recorded, the Buddha did not obey him. See Buddhism by T. W. Rhys Davids3; and Buddhism by Sir Monier Monier Williams4.

This shows that the same titles which Jesus ascribes in the gospels to himself, have in Buddhistic books, which were compiled much later, been similarly ascribed to the Buddha; and, just as Jesus was tempted by the Devil, so these books claim that the Buddha also was tempted by the Devil; nay, the account of the temptation of the Buddha as stated in these books, is longer than the account of the temptation of Jesus in the Christian Gospels.

It is recorded that when the Devil offered him the temptation of wealth and kingly honour, the Buddha was inclined to return home. He, however, did not obey this desire. But the same Devil met him again one night, bringing with him all his progeny, and frightened him by frightful appearances.

To the Buddha these Devils appeared like snakes which were emitting fire from their mouths. The snakes began to throw fire and poison towards him but their poison was turned into flowers and the fire made a halo round the Buddha.

Many of the titles that are in common between the Buddha and Jesus Christ were also used by Ancient Egyptians and by pre Hindu Indian cultures. There are only so many ways that someone can be called good, kind, powerful. Repetition is to be expected.

I don’t understand your wish to have Buddha and Jesus linked. Jesus Christ taught that he was the Son of God. The Buddha taught that he was not God nor the Son of God, nor inspired by God.

Jesus Christ has some things in common with Krishna in that Krishna is the son (reincarnation) of God, but you misstate things when it comes to the Buddha. I realize that the Buddha has been adapted into the Hindu pantheon as a God, but during his lifetime he denied it and Buddhists never did and do not today worship him as a God.

Rather than compare titles and divinity, why not compare philosophies and teachings?

You took the words right out of my mouth.👍

Paarsurrey’s insistence on linking Jesus and Buddha is silly.
Elvis was called “The King” - does that make him God?
I think not!

**PS - Jackie Gleason was also called “The Great One” - does that make him Buddha? I think *not.:rolleyes: ***
