If we compare the sayings of Jesus and Buddha, the answer is a heart felt yes. Both provided the same advice on loving, living a full life, and experiencing the sacred. One came from the West, the other from the East; and they created two distinctly different religions. But the words they left us on how to keep our lives simple, appreciate the world around us, and open our souls to other people, are the same. In Jesus and Buddha, their parallel sayings are presented for the first time in an especially designed format on facing pages to fully reveal the singular nature of their message. At the heart of these amazing parallels lies mystery that puzzles historians even today. How could Jesus, living five hundred years after Buddha and three thousand miles from India, espouse the same teachings? Some historians believe that Buddhist principles were known in Jesus' day throughout the Roman Empire. Certain fringe theorists claim that Jesus was trained in Buddhism; some even insist that he visited India. Others claim that they were drawing from the same universal well of spirit and wisdom. Jesus and Buddha explores these mysteries as it traces the life stories and beliefs of Christ and Buddha. Then it invites you to discover the single message in their dual teachings.
