It happened that when Jesus finished these parables, he departed from there.54He came to his
land and taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said:

Where did this man get this wisdom and these miracles?55Isn't this the son of
carpenter? Isn't his mother's name María, and his brothers' names Jacobo, José, Simón and
Judas?56Aren't all her sisters with us? Where, then, do they come from?
Is this all these things?

57
They were scandalized by him. But Jesus said to them:

No prophet is without honor except in his own country and in his own house.

58
And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

The logical explanation is that they knew him more referentially than
personally. It's like if you went on a trip to study abroad and those who
Did they see or know you as a child when they saw you arrive as a full grown man or woman?
they recognize you in your adulthood and one day see you preaching in your parents' church and they
They ask: Hey, isn't that the son/daughter of so-and-so? He/She speaks so nicely, right?

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read.

If Jesus had grown up in his family environment, his whole family would know what kind of
behavior was typical in his daily life and nothing he did them
I would confuse it, but this signal is enlightening:

So his brothers said to him, 'Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.' For not even his brothers believed in him.

Therefore, his brothers said to him:

Get out of here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may also see the works that
you do.4Because no one who seeks to make themselves known does anything in secret. Since
do these things, manifest to the world.

For neither did his brothers believe in him.

Wouldn't it be those 17 to 18 years prior to their 30s that they apparently spent outside of
Nazareth and those about whom the Bible says nothing would be according to Buddhist writings in.

In 1887, during the Turco-Russian war, a Russian journalist named Nikolai Notovitch
traveled through India with the purpose of studying its customs and
investigate its archaeology. While heading to Leh, the capital of Ladakh (in India
Northeastern along the Tibetan border), Ladakh known as little Tibet

northern barbarians incorporated her into Lassa and later the conquest of the
Muslims converted her to the Islamic religion. He heard a Tibetan lama (that is,
monk) in a monastery, referring to a great lama named Issa (the translation

CHAPTER V

1 In the course of his fourteenth year, the young Issa, blessed by God,
he came to this side of the Sind and settled in the Aryas, in the beloved land
of God.

The fame and reputation of this wonderful boy spread to the

length of the northern Sind. And when he crossed the land of the five rivers and the
Rajputana, the devotees of the god Jaine begged him to live with them.

But he left the worshipers of Jaine and went to the country of Orissa.

restoring your health.

He spent six years in Juggernaut, in Rajagriha, in Benares, and in the

other holy cities. We all love him, and Issa lived in peace with the
Vaishyas and the Sudras whom he instructed in the holy scriptures.

But the Brahmins and the Kshatriyas told him that they were prohibited
by the great Para-Brahma to be close to those whom he had
created by your side and at your feet.

7 That the Vaisyas were the only ones authorized to hear the reading of the
Vedas, and this only on holidays.

8 That the Sudras were not only prohibited from reading the Vedas, but
also to contemplate them, because their condition was to serve in perpetuity
like the slaves of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and even the Vaishyas.

"Only death can free them from their servitude," said Para-
Brahma. Then let them go and come to worship with us the
gods, who will incense against you if you disobey them.

10 But Issa did not listen to their speeches and turned to the Sudras, while
he preached against the Brahmins and the Kshatriyas.

He protested against the actions of a man who claims the power.

existence will have no end. He has no equal in the heavens or on the

from Gautamides, the birthplace of the great Buddha Sakyamuni, in
through some people who worshiped the one and sublime Brahma.

After having perfected himself in the Pali language, Issa dedicated himself
to the study of the sacred scriptures of theSutras.

Six years later, Issa, whom the Buddha had chosen to extend
his holy word had become a perfect expositor of the sacred
writings.

5 Then he left Nepal and the Amalaya mountains, descended to the

valley of Rajputana, and headed west while preaching to the
various peoples, the supreme perfection of man.

himself quickly with the Eternal Spirit. "Whoever has
"recovered its original purity," said Issa, "it will die, after having
obtained remission for his sins, and will have the right to
to contemplate the majesty of God.

11 "Just as a father would act with his children, so God will judge the
men after their deaths according to the laws of His mercy.
He would never humiliate his children with the transmigration of his soul, as in a
purgatory, or inside the body of an animal.

immolation and human sacrifices, to an image or to an animal; because

consequently, whoever has stolen my children will be judged

they separate from their Father, associating themselves with the priests whom the

heavens have rejected.

16 "Because it is they who have distanced them from the true God and whose
superstitions and cruelties lead to the perversion of his soul and the
loss of all moral sense.

CHAPTER VII

1 The words of Issa spread among the pagans in the midst of the
countries that he crossed, and people abandoned their idols.

2 Seeing this, the priests demanded of him, who glorified the name of
true God, reasons in the presence of the people, for the reproaches
what he did against them and the demonstration of the null value of their idols.

3 E Issa answered them: "If their idols and their animals are powerful and
they truly possess a supernatural strength, so let them
hit me to the ground.

4 "Then perform a miracle," the priests replied, "And allow that

may Your God confuse our gods, if they inspire you with disdain.

5 But Issa then said: "The miracles of our God have been
facts from the first day when the universe was created; they have
place every day and at every moment. Anyone who does not seek them is
deprived of one of the most beautiful gifts of life.

eternal fire, and their lacerated bodies will go to satisfy the hunger of the
wild beasts.

portion of spirituality within oneself.

And when they saw all the towns welcoming him with joy

and they brought him before the high priest where he went through the following
interrogation

3 "What new God are you talking about? Are you not aware, unhappy man, that
the Holy Zoroaster is the only righteous one admitted with the privilege of
communion with the Supreme Being.
4 "Who orders the angels to write down the word of God
for the use of the people, laws that were given to Zoroaster in the
paradise?

5 "With what art then do you dare to blaspheme against our

God and to sow doubt in the hearts of believers?

Heavenly Father, who has existed all the time and who will still be there.
after the end of all things.

It is he whom I have spoken to the people who, like children

innocents, they are not yet able to understand God due to the simple
force of your intelligence, or of penetrating into your divine and spiritual
sublimity.

And just as a baby discovers in the darkness the breast of its mother,
even the people who have been led astray by their doctrine
erroneous and their religious ceremonies, have instinctively recognized their
Father, the Father of whom I am the prophet.

The sun rises to warm them during their work; and it sets to
allow them the rest that I have established.

It is me, and only me, to whom you owe everything you possess, everything
this will be found in you, about you, and beneath you.

12 "But," the priests asked, "how can a person live

according to the rules of justice if I did not have any instructor?

13 Then Issa answered them, "Even when people do not have...

no priest, natural law governs them, and they will preserve the
candor of their souls.

14 "Their souls were with God, and to commune with the Father without the
resource of no idol or animal, nor of fire, as is practiced here.

You try to have one worship the sun, the spirit of good and of
bad. Well, I tell you, your doctrine is false, the sun does not act
spontaneously but according to the will of the invisible Creator who gave it
the light.

16 "And who has commanded her to be the star that must light up the day,
to warm the work and the time for man to sow.

17 The Eternal Spirit is the soul of all that is animated. You are making
a great sin dividing it into a spirit of evil and a spirit of good,
for there is no God outside of the good,

18 "Who, like a family father, does good things for his

children, forgiving all their faults if they repent.

19 The spirit of evil dwells on the earth in the hearts of those men
that push aside the children of God on the narrow path.

Therefore I tell you. Be careful of the day of judgment, for

God will inflict a terrible punishment on all those who have led to their...
children off the right path and have filled them with superstitions and
prejudices.

Those who have dazzled those who see, who have infected the

sufferings among the Israelites who were prey to discouragement more
deep.

Many among them had already begun to abandon the laws of their
God and those of Moses in the hope of appeasing their savages
conquistadors.

4 In the face of this evil, Issa urged his compatriots not to

despair because the day of the redemption of their sins was near
hand, and he confirmed them in the belief they had in the God of their
parents.

5 "Children, do not despair," said the Heavenly Father through the mouth of Issa,
For I have heard his voice, and his laments have reached me.

Do not cry, oh my beloved! For your sorrow has touched the heart of your ...
Father, and he has forgiven them, just as he forgave his ancestors.

Do not abandon your families to plunge into debauchery, do not

they lose the nobility of their feelings, and do not worship idols that
they will remain deaf to their voices.

Fill my temple with your hopes and your patience and do not renounce
of their parents' religion; because I have only guided them and filled them
with benefits.

You will lift up those who have fallen, you will give food to the
hungry, and they will help the sick, so that they may all be pure and just
on the day of the last judgment that I prepare for you.

The Israelites were arriving in crowds to hear the words of

Issa, while they were asking him where they should praise the Heavenly Father,
seeing that the enemy had reduced their temples to the ground and had
placed on the ground their sacred vessels.

11 And Jesus answered them that God did not have in His sight temples erected by
the hand of man, but he meant to say that the human heart was the
true temple of God.

Enter into his temple, into his heart. Illuminate it with the good
thoughts, the patience and the unwavering trust that you must have
in his Father.

13 And their sacred vessels shall be their hands and their eyes. See and do
that which is pleasant to God. Because by doing good to your neighbor,
you will achieve the rite that beautifies the temple where dwells who gives you
gave life.

14 "For God has created them in His own innocent likeness, with souls and
pure hearts full of kindness, not destined for conception of
bad schemes, but made to be sanctuaries of love and justice.

15 "Therefore I tell you, do not stain your hearts, for the Being
Supreme dwells there eternally.

If you want to achieve that your works are marked with love
Oh mercy, do it with an open heart and do not allow your

17 "For such actions would not help their salvation, and they would fall into that
state of moral degradation where theft, lies, and murder
they go through generous facts.

CHAPTER X

San Issa went from one village to another, while strengthening with the word of
God the courage of the Israelites, who were ready to succumb to the weight of their
desperation; and thousands of men followed him to hear him preach.

But the chiefs of the towns were afraid of him, and they made it known to the
chief governor ruling in Jerusalem, that a man named
Issa had arrived in the country; he was stirring up with his speeches to the
people against the authorities; that the crowd was listening to him
to him frequently, disregarding the state's work, and asserting that
Soon they would get rid of their intrusive governors.

Then Pilate, governor of Jerusalem, ordered that they

They should arrest the preacher Issa, that they should bring him to the town and
to bring him before the judges. But to avoid inciting the anger of the mob,
Pilate entrusted the priests and the Hebrew chief scholars to
judge him in the temple.

4 Meanwhile, Issa, continuing with his sermons, arrived in Jerusalem; and,

having known of their arrival, all the inhabitants, already knowing their
reputation, they went out to find him.

They greeted him respectfully and opened the doors of their temple for him.
to hear from his mouth what he had said in the other cities of Israel.

they have lost their shepherds.

But the storm will not last forever, and the darkness will not always

11 The priests and the senior elders who were listening to him,
filled with admiration for his speech, they asked him if it was true
that he had tried to incite people against the authorities of

Can one incite the misguided men to insurrection?

who has the darkness hidden its door and its way? " Issa answered.
I have only warned the unfortunate, as I do here in this temple,
that they cannot advance beyond along their darkened path,
because an abyss is open under their feet.

changes. What good is it for a man to revolt against him, seeing that a

16 "I am an Israelite," Issa replied. "Since the day of my birth I

slavery, and the laments of my sisters who were taken far away by
the pagans.

And my soul was full of sorrow when I saw that my brothers were

father and I went to live among other people.

18 "But having heard that my brothers were still suffering

greater tortures, I have returned to the country where my parents reside to
 to remind my brothers in faith of their ancestors who teach us
patience on earth to obtain perfect and sublime happiness in the
sky.

19 And the wise elders asked him this question: "It is said that you
you deny the laws of Moses and that you teach people to abandon the
temple of God.

20 E Issa responded: "One cannot demolish that which has been given
by our Heavenly Father, nor that which has been destroyed by the
fishermen; but I have ordered the purification of the heart of all
blemish, for he is the true temple of God.

21 "Regarding the laws of Moses, I have sought to establish them in the

the hearts of men. I tell them that you do not understand their
real meaning, for it is not vengeance but mercy that they
they teach; only the meaning of these laws is the one that has been perverted.

CHAPTER XI

1 Having listened to Issa, the priests and the wise elders decided
among them not to judge him, because he did not harm anyone. And presenting himself before

Pilate, the appointed governor of Jerusalem by the pagan king of the country of
the Romans, they addressed him like this:

We have seen the man whom you accuse of inciting our

our compatriot.

But the chiefs of the cities have given you false reports, for this is a
just man who teaches people the word of God. After having it
interrogated, we fired him, so that he could go in peace.

pretending so that they could see all their actions and report to the
authorities the slightest word that he directed to the people.

5 Meanwhile, San Issa continued visiting the neighboring towns, preaching.

he was, some never left him and became his servants.

7 E Issa said: 'Do not believe in the miracles forged by the hand of man,'
because He who dominates above nature is exclusively capable
to do something supernatural, since man is powerless when faced with anger
of the winds or the fall of the rain.

Still, there is a miracle that is possible for man to achieve. It is when,

full of sincere credibility, he decides to cast out of his heart all the
bad thoughts, and when he achieves this end, he will withdraw from the paths of
iniquity

And all the things that are done without God are nothing more than mistakes,
seductions and enchantments that only demonstrate the extent to which the soul
of the one who practices this art is full of immodesty, falsehood, and
impurity.

he attends to the resource of the diviners, he profanes the temple that is in his heart and gives

a test of distrust towards its Creator.

11 "Faith in fortune-tellers and their oracles destroys the innate simplicity of

man and his childlike purity. An infernal power takes possession of him,
forcing him to commit all kinds of crimes and worship idols.

all-powerful, omniscient and omnipresent. He is the one who possesses all the

better for Issa, she was pushed aside by one of the spies who stood in front
of her.

CHAPTER XIII

Thus, Saint Issa taught the people of Israel for three years, in each
town, in every village, along the edges of the road and in the plains; and all that

For all this time, Pilate's masked servants watched him.

all their sufferings in the name of their Creator.

The servers of Pilate continued to torture him and brought him down to a
state of extreme weakness; but God was with him and did not let him die.

parents who buried him near the place of his execution. The crowd

The next day, the crowd found the tomb open and empty.
Soon the rumor spread that the Supreme Judge had sent his
angels to take away the mortal remains of the saint in whom resided in the
land a part of the Divine Spirit.

When this rumor came to Pilate's knowledge, he became enraged and

forbade anyone, under penalty of slavery and death, to utter the name

These are the first 4 chapters of the writing, placed in this location because not
they speak directly about Jesus, but about his cultural background.

CHAPTER I

The earth has trembled and the heavens have cried due to the great crime that has been
committed in the land of Israel.

Because they have tortured and killed the great and only Issa, in whom
I dwelled in the soul of the universe.

subject.

CHAPTER II

1 The people of Israel who lived in a fertile land that produced two
harvests per year and those who owned large herds, excited with their
sins the anger of God.

Who inflicted a terrible punishment on them taking their land, their cattle, and their
possessions. Israel was reduced to slavery by the powerful and rich Pharaoh who
then he reigned in Egypt.

These treated the Israelites worse than animals, while the

they were mistreated with difficult tasks and were loaded with chains. They covered their
bodies with bruises and wounds, without giving them food or allowing them to dwell under a
ceiling.

To keep them in a constant state of terror and deprive them of all

similarity to a human being.

And in their great calamity, the people of Israel remembered their protector.
celestial and approaching him, they implored his grace and mercy.

At that time, a illustrious pharaoh reigned in Egypt who had become famous.
for his numerous victories, the riches he had amassed, and the immense
palaces that his slaves had erected for him with their own hands.

This Pharaoh had two sons, the youngest of whom was named Moses.
Wise Israelites taught them various sciences.

And they loved Moses in Egypt for his kindness and compassion that
showed all those who suffered.

9 Seeing that the Israelites would not abandon their God to surrender
worship of those made by the hand of man who were gods of the nation

Moses believed in his invisible God who did not allow his strength to fail.

And the instructors of the Israelites stirred up the anger of Moses.

of his co-religionists.

It was then that Prince Moses went to his father, asking him to

against him and increased the torments endured by his slaves.

13 After a short time, a great evil came to Egypt. The pestilence came to
to decimate everyone there, the young and the old, the weak and the strong; and the pharaoh believed that

Egyptians.

15 The pharaoh then gave Moses his son the order to take all the
slaves of the Jewish race and take them outside the city and found another one at great
distance from the capital city where he was to live with them.

16 Moses then informed the Hebrew slaves that he had made them
free in the name of their God, the God of Israel, and went out with them from the city
and from the land of Egypt.

17 He brought them to the land they had lost due to their many sins, he gave them
laws, and he always commanded to pray to the invisible Creator whose goodness is infinite.

His kingdom became the most powerful of all the earth, its kings became
famous for their treasures, and a long peace reigned among the people of Israel.

The neighboring nations grew tired of envying them.

The Most High led the victorious arms of the Hebrews, and the pagans
they did not dare to attack them.

Unfortunately, man is not always truly faithful to himself,

The faithfulness of the Israelites to their God did not last long.

They began to forget all the favors that He had done for them,
they rarely invoked his name, and sought the protection of wizards and
sorcerers.

The kings and the captains replaced with their own laws those that

Several centuries had passed since their departure from Egypt when God
determined to exercise his punishment upon them once again.

ruining the towns, and taking the inhabitants into captivity.

And the pagans from the land of the Romans came from across the sea.
They dominated the Hebrews and established military leaders with them who by
César's commission governed over them.

They destroyed the temples, forced the inhabitants to stop worshipping.

--------------------------------------------

Here ends what Notovitch collected of what I will call 'The Gospel'
Buddhist.” We must note some distinctive and remarkable characteristics in it.

a) Who or who originally wrote this (assuming that this

the gospel really exists) knew about Issa's previous life, his sermons and studies
in Tibet and in India. He must also have heard second-hand about his
activities and the result that Issa had in Israel. As we will see, this
It was probably due to reports from some merchants who made it there.
after the crucifixion, although some scholars deny it.

b) However, whoever wrote this must have done so shortly after the
crucifixion, for he believed that Issa had died, which was not the case as he later returned
in Kashmir where he died. It is therefore very likely that it was a source like this,
the one that guided the initial evangelists since the general context is very similar
the canonical one, although with some substantial differences that I want to point out.

c) Issa (Jesus) did not perform miracles like the mythical Jesus of the Church. His ministry was
evangelizer and savior of souls, not of bodies, although by what is written,
he probably helped sick people but without miracles. Although he does talk about
casting out evil spirits to restore health, understood as casting out
the causes of poor health and not demons possessing a person. When asked
ask for a miracle, he doesn't do it, he rather says that miracles started when God
he created the universe and he is a fool who does not enjoy it.

It's a Jesus who is more human, easier to understand since he is not the distant, mythical being.
the only son of God. He is realistic, aware, wise, kind, and a great admirer of the
woman as mother and as wife, in total contradiction with the Church that the
consider the source of all sin and especially of the so-called 'original'.

He is very intelligent and coherent and is fully self-aware. Not

Do not preach the sword or war among brothers, like the other.

He knows who God is and knows himself as a man, although he claims to be the
spokesman of divinity. Does not hate the Jews like the canon.

e) Preach against the idols, which is a quiet paganism of the Catholics, as it is

it is the idol worship of saints, virgins, and images. I am not going to start listing them,
but just as a sample, look if Catholics do not adore so many material objects:

The holy cross

The sacred cloak

The Shroud of Turin

The sacred chalice

The host

The cloth where the Virgin of Guadalupe is recorded

The Churches themselves

The sacred heart

The blessed images of saints and virgins

Holy water

The holy sepulcher

The holy city

All the saints and virgins that you remember.

And so many other things that you will surely be able to remember. All of them
worship of things and supposed representation of divinity. In reality, remains
atavisms of ancient pagan religions still very useful to the religious.

f) Obviously explains where Jesus (Issa) was during those lost years since the
count up to 29 or 30.

g) There is no John the Baptist, nor apostles, only disciples. Although it does say that
they spread their doctrines outside of Israel and that many were tortured and
dead because of that.

h) There is no star of Bethlehem, nor worship of shepherds nor wise men, nor was he born of
a virgin.

i) It is against the sacrifices of men and animals.

j) This gospel is more logical, places the Romans in their place and clarifies well who
he was sent to be crucified, that is to say; it wasn't his own people, it was the Romans and
especially Pilate. Those who washed their hands were the Jews and not him.
Roman.

k) Moses is Egyptian, son of an Egyptian, not Israelite.

Issa's parents are small business owners, not carpenters.

m) For Issa, there is no evil or goodness separately, there is only good, and it comes from
God. Opposes the presence and very existence of the priesthood, for it says that the law
nature would lead man to God. It also says that temples are not needed to
to worship God for he resides in the hearts of men. It is obvious that all this
is against the way that Catholicism is and is carried by men and by
priests.

In the end. Issa seems to be the real Jesus, the original who was later mystified by
the early church fathers

But the story does not end here, the Buddhist gospel does not end here. There is
sufficiently clear information to say that Issa did not die on the cross.
Issa was rescued from her and continued his teachings outside of Israel, for he returned to
where he had begun his life as a preacher and died there as we will see next.

Notovitch's discoveries generated a lot of protests and refutations.

of different types, mainly alleging the falsity of those parchments because
they did not appear in some catalogs where Buddhist monks classify them as if
were an index. Notovitch claimed that this scroll did not appear because he had
taken from different scrolls and not from one in particular. It was alleged
also that it was not true that such Issa had existed when questioning people from the
region and even the very presence of Notovitch in India was denied.

In 'The Lost Years of Jesus,' Elizabeth Clare Prophet documents others

supporters of Notovitch's work. The most prominent was Nicholas Roerich, a Russian
also like Notovitch in 1874. Roerich, a Theosophist and painter of art, traveled from
1924 to 1928 throughout Central Asia and discovered that the legends about Issa
they were widespread and popular. In his book, 'Himalaya', he makes references to
the "scriptures" and "manuscripts" about Issa, some of which he claims to have
seen, and others about the people who talked to him. Roerich wrote
regardless in his own travel diary the same legend of Issa that
Notovitch had seen before.

But, Notovitch and Roerich were not the only ones to discover Issa. Swami
Abhedananda, a Hindu, Vice President of the Ramakrishna Mission, traveled in 1922 to
Tibet also to corroborate or deny what Notovitch said. I arrive at Himis and
he talked to the main lama of the monastery who taught him the scroll
the principal that Notovitch referred to, corroborating what he said. He published
his discovery in Bengali in a book he titled 'From Kashmir and Tibet' in which he quotes,
like the Russian, his 'gospel' of Issa with practically the same phrases as
Notovitch.

Another person who tests the veracity of Notovitch is Mrs. Elizabeth Caspari.
This lady came to realize and confirm what her predecessors said.

chain of events (as Prophet says) took her to the Himis monastery in the
Himalayas. At the invitation of a wealthy acquaintance, Mrs. Gasque, she and her husband.

he simply said to her:

"These books say that their Jesus was here" and added:

I suppose that not everyone could contain everything that should be written.

And the two ladies had the opportunity to examine the book carefully while the

Throughout the twentieth century, many individuals have responded positively to

Notovitch's work, including Janet and Richard Bock (producers of the movie, "The
Lost Years of Jesus), Swami Abhedananda, Sai Baba, Paramahansa Yogananda
of the Fellowship of Self-Realization, and Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The
evidence abounds that the legend of Issa is very much alive today and if true,

Gnostic Interpretation

There is evidence that Saint Issa actually existed, and I will cite some data for this.
from the book by Fida M. Hassnain 'The Other History of Jesus' (although this may seem
contradictory with Notovitch's version), but in the end makes sense with
other circumstances and especially with another character, Apollonius of Tyana.

He comments in his book that in that region there are still descendants of the ancients.
Hebrews who were dispersed from the 7th century B.C. due to conquests of
Nebuchadnezzar. It even seems that there are Afghan tribes that still use names
of Hebrew origin.

they conquered Palestine and dispersed 10 of the tribes that were in the north,
only those of Benjamin and Judah remain. It seems that later only
Judah prevailed, to which some of the dispersed would join years later.
That is why it is said that all Jews are Israelites, but not all
Israelites are Jews. However, at the time of Jesus' appearance, it could be
to say that the reference Israelites are Jews.

Hassain learned of Notovitch's existence and his writings during one of his trips.
and proposed to find out if what he said was true. Indeed, he began to find
references to Issa or Jesus, even in dates prior to the discovery of
Notovitch as the reference of a certain Meer Izzut-oolah who visited Ladakh in 1812 and
he published his notes in native Persian. This gentleman said in his notes:

In their sanctuaries, they have sculptures of saints, prophets, and for contemplation.

Jesus Christ. I also spoke with an elder who said proven above all
there is doubt that some places in the Bible had been revealed to the Tibetans, and they say
that the original writing was in a language today unintelligible.

Hassain also discovered that another witness, Swami Abhedananda, had already been mentioned.

Notovitch, determined to find evidence, went to Leh and discovered the famous manuscripts of
Hemis corroborating what Notovitch said. These writings were incorporated into his
book "Kashmir and Tibet".

Hassain narrates how, through various means and people, the church tried to obtain the
writings of Hemis and disappear them, as it is obvious once one reads the life of
Issa or the Buddhist gospel. They did not succeed, for the lamas hid them from

of the physical evidence that proves the existence of Issa.

In the Gospel of the Hebrews, one of the apocryphals, it is said that Jesus traveled to the

from the routes that existed back then in those places. From Jerusalem to
Babylon and beyond to Kashmir, Tibet, and India.

According to what Notovitch said, Jesus must have made contact.

Hassain says in his book that Issa went to Egypt and there went through a process of

This author continues by saying that he then went to Greece and in Athens where he

These words from Hassain should not be taken as assumptions of his mind. All
and each of them is supported by ancient texts and in the apocryphal gospels,
gnostics and other sources. Then, it is very likely true that what he said
is completely grounded. It says that Joseph of Arimathea, a well-known figure of the
canonical gospels, he was a rich merchant who traded between Cornwall in
England and Phoenicia and that the mother of Jesus - Issa was English, hence the appearance

Let's move forward with Jesus-Issa:

An interesting aspect of the life of Jesus that is found in the canonical gospels and

This is the not illogical theory of Hassain, who says that after his crucifixion

he sent them to preach. This, of course, is not in contradiction with the Buddhist gospel,

The traditions of Jesus' travels

after the Crucifixion

Isa or Mayuam-i-isa which means "the place where Jesus lived" according to the scholar.
independent Holger Kersten traveled through Western Asia in 1973-74
visiting various libraries and researching these traditions. The Talmud of
Jmmanuel confirms this by indicating that this Jmmanuel (alias Jesus) went to Damascus.
after his last meeting with his disciples, and lived incognito there for two
years. This included the time when Saul (Paul) had his experience of the
conversion on the road to the southwest of Damascus.

Three of these historians wrote about Jesus, Mary, and Thomas (Judas-Thomas)
they probably traveled to Nisibis (Nasibain) near Edessa, now Urfa in the
southeast Turkey to the north of Syria where Jesus preached to King Mir Muhammad
Khawand Shah Ibn-i-Muhammad, also known as Mir Khawand Badshah, in
1417 wrote about the journey of Jesus outside the area of Jerusalem to Nisibis. During the trip
previously, Jesus and Mary go first to Syria; in the last, they and Thomas have
some confrontations with the king of Nisibis.

Faqir Muhammad, around 1830, wrote, among other things, that in these
Journeys Jesus and Mary traveled on foot, and Jesus preached to the king of Nisibis.

According to Holger Kersten, the story happens when this king, having been sick
and having asked Jesus to come and heal him; Jesus sent Thomas ahead, and Thomas

raised there against them.

In most Muslim writings, Jesus is called Yuzu Asaf.

The meaning and derivation of the name are uncertain. 'Yuzu' is thought by some to...
It means Jesus or 'leader,' and 'Asaf' to refer to those he healed of leprosy. Thus
an interpretation is that Yuzu Asaf means 'the leader of those who he'
healed of leprosy.

It is understandable that during his travels after the crucifixion, Jesus would have remained
incognito, especially during the early years in Anatolia, and when outside

that leaves no doubt that the man known as Yuzu Asaf is identified
with Jesus (and with Issa consequently), his close association with his mother Mary and
Take one of these with Tomás.

Iranian traditions told by Agha Mustafai say that Yuzu Asaf arrived there from
west and preached, while it is said that he caused many to believe in him. His
teachings have been similar to those of Jesus.

In northwest Afghanistan, centered around the city of Herat, a Sufism explorer,

O. M. Burke encountered a sect of about 1000 people who are devoted to
Yuzu Asaf whom they also knew as Issa, son of Mariam. His tradition
includes Issa, the prophet of Israel, who having escaped the cross, traveled to India and
he established himself in Kashmir. He was (again) considered to hold the power to
perform miracles. The leader of the cult at that time (1976), Abba Yahiyya (Father
Juan could recite the names of the succession of his leaders and teachers back to
through almost 60 generations up to Yuzu Asaf himself, when he had
detained outside there on the Silk Road. Although Burke referred to this sect
As Christians, although they venerate Issa as the Son of God, they cannot be
considered Christians in any orthodox sense.

Within the Holy Quran, there are many verses that speak of Jesus, and often about
Maria too, but these make no reference to her Birth or her
Palestinian ministry, or it does not contain any defined geographical and temporal context.
A possible exception, however, is Surah 23:50, a translation of the readings:

And We made the son of Marium [Mary] his mother a sign, and We...
We granted a safeguard in a high land that has meadows and springs.

Since Israel is not recognized for having the high land with meadows and springs, this
verse makes one think of a different situation, and if the safeguard was needed, this
indicate they were traveling.

In Eastern Pakistan, next to Kashmir, there is extensive support for these

traditions. There one can find the tomb of Maria simply in a
summit, outside a small town called Murree or Mari. The tomb is called Mai the
from Mary Asthan which means 'the final resting place of Mother Mary.'
His tomb goes east-west, as in the Jewish custom, instead of north-south as
in Islamic tradition. Thus, there is evidence to indicate that this Mary arrived through
less to this distant place in their travels and crossed with Jesus through the high and very
beautiful from Afghanistan and Pakistan, in support of the verse of the Quran that indicates this.

The farthest East, in Kashmir near Srinagar, there is a monument in the

stone: the Throne of Solomon, which bears four inscriptions, the last two are very
interesting although they were mutilated during the conquest of Kashmir by the Sikhs in
1819. However, they were described by the Muslim historian of Kashmir,
Mulla Nadiri, in 1413. An English translation of his Persian writing is:

At this moment Yuzu Asaf proclaimed his prophecy. Year fifty-four [in the
kingdom of King Gopadatta]. And He is Jesus, the prophet of the children of Israel.

The correct date of the year 54 is not clear. The year has been placed within the reign
by King Gopadatta in 107 C.E. by Kersten, and in 78 C.E. by Professor Fida
Hassnain, director of archives and antiquities in Kashmir.

Some written and oral tradition states that after the death of Yuzu Asaf, he was
buried in the old section of Srinagar, in Anzimar in Khanjar (or Khaniyar).

Tradition says that the tomb is over a small building that was constructed
for a long time, has been there since then under constant surveillance by a
succession of guardians since the supposed burial of Yuzu Asaf.

On the ground next to his grave so named by Hassnain, beneath a lot of wax
by candlelight and carefully scraping at a corner of the tombstone, he discovered a
a crucifix and a rosary that had been included for a long time. In addition,
he found two footprints carved in the stone beneath the wax of the candles and the clay
with the mark of a crucifixion scar imprinted on each footprint. This is a
strong indication that Yuzu Asaf was known to have been Jesus Christ. Each

(known as Rozabal, or the 'sacred tomb') to pay tribute to this
person. A unique case of unity within the world religions.

Inside the ruins of the Indian city of Fatehpur Sikri, located about 15
miles west of Agra, there is an interesting inscription on a wall. It was placed in
the portal of a mosque around 1601 by Emperor Akbar the Great, a
converted Muslim.

previously mentioned by Jmmanuel. Possibly verse 42 of the Gospel of
Tomás is based on this saying, which reads, 'Be passengers' or 'Be when
pass.

It can be speculated that one of those who accompanied Yuzu Asaf alias Jesus in
his travels were a disciple-writer who continued documenting the experiences of
Jesus and his ministry until his own death after which his writings

shortly after, a copy of the writings on the Silk Road to the area of
Palestine. Where they eventually came into the custody of the collector of
Gospel of Matthew. This would have been the source on which Bishop Papias had
learned and called the Lodge, (the Q source?) and the reason for the Gospels
they have entered existence relatively late. A legend in favor of this
speculation comes from the mention of Eusebius, that the well-known Alexandrian,
Pantaenus (late in the second century) reported this during his journey to India,
that he had learned that one of the twelve apostles had preached there before
the Indians of a Hebrew writing identified as the Gospel of Matthew. Already
that the Gospels had become known by the middle of the second century did not

suggests that the preaching that Pantaenus reported had come from a pre-

tenth-century historian, Shaikh Al-Said.

Jesus within Hinduism

Hindu literature known as the Bhavishya Maha Purana contains about ten
verses that indicate that Jesus was in India/Kashmir during the reign of the King
Shalivahan who has been placed within 39 to 50 C.E. It is said that the king found

where there is a sulfur spring. During the king's interrogation about who
it was he, It is reported that Jesus answered that he was Yusashaphat (interpreted as
Yuzu Asaf by K. N. Ahmad), and he has been known as Isa Masih (Jesus the
Messiah). K. N. Ahmad dates the writing of these verses to 115 C.E. Although the
Details of the verses may indicate that they underwent correction later, their theme.
The basic persists: It is that the Jesus of Christianity had been there in Kashmir.

Much more recent is a statement by Jawaharlal Nehru in a letter from 1932 to

his daughter, Indira Gandhi where he wrote, 'Through Central Asia, in Kashmir and Ladakh and
Tibet and the even more distant north, there is a strong belief that Jesus or Issa traveled
over there. Some people believe that he also visited India. This attests to the
persistence of the oral tradition.

Jesus within Buddhism

It has been suggested that within Mahayana Buddhism, the legendary Bodhisattva
Avalokitesvara will develop from the time Jesus has been in Tibet and India.

Another reason, given the impact that Jesus made in just one year of ministry in
Palestine, due to the fact of performing miracles and prophesying, would not be surprising in
no small measure, the skill with which his ministry extended during
many years after the crucifixion traveling outside of Palestine under names
different and would also have received acclaim, at least within the tradition
oral

The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is a candidate for this because he became the pinnacle.
of all the numerous bodhisattvas in terms of importance, degree of respect and worship
granted within the Buddhist thought, it is believed that the successive Dalai Lamas
are reincarnations of Avalokitesvara. In other words, the idea would be that the Dalai
The current Lama would be a reincarnation of Jesus. Furthermore, this is a tradition of the Dalai.
Lama is born curiously in the 1st century and not before or much later.

However, the primary reason is that it is said that he is sometimes portrayed

usually with a small round signal in hand, which could represent
a crucifixion scar (I am attaching a drawing of Avalokitesvara, obtained from
Internet where the scars on hands and feet are clearly visible). A sign
similar interpreted as the Buddhist wheel of life, it is mentioned in a written text of the
third century and is printed on the soles of the feet.

The mythology of Avalokitesvara became so extensive that he has been considered

even the creator of the world. This is surprisingly similar to the Jesus who
professes as part of the Deity that was with God the Creator from the beginning.
Both creation stories are considered myths; however, it is not
surprising that the same man could inspire both myths.

If Avalokitesvara is indeed another name for Jesus, it is still an example of

a legend known only by a few. But if it were known to more than
to be just a legend, for some Buddhists, at the moment when the name that
Avalokitesvara was given, it is understandable that they did not wish to oppose the
Christians insisting that Buddhism be called by the same name it uses the
Christianity.

Kersten has put forward the idea that the name Yuzu Asaf may have a derivation.

they had recognized this, so in Sanskrit this phrase would be 'the sattva of bodhi'

It would be read as 'Judasaf' or 'Yudasaf' since the letters J and B are almost identical.
The last two words are similar enough, so this could be
the real etymology behind 'Yuzu Asaf.'
The tradition that Jesus (under any name) had gone to the region of

from Himis, Ladakh.

In addition to the clues within the Gospels of the empty tomb and later
appearances that are consistent with Jesus who later had a ministry
extended beyond Palestine, a tradition consistent with this was the fact
known for a prominent father of the church. Irenaeus who lived until
approximately 180 A.D., and who was a staunch persecutor of heresies, not
however, it witnessed a tradition that said that the superiors of the church had
talked with the disciple John in Asia and had affirmed that Jesus had
reached old age. This was read as follows:

Upon completing his thirtieth year, he suffered, still being in fact a young man, and
who had not reached an old age. Now, as the first phase of his life
early embraced thirty years, and this extends forward until the
fortieth year, one will admit. But of the fortieth and fiftieth year in
forward a man begins to decline into old age that our Lord possessed
while He was still fulfilling the role of a Teacher. Just like the Gospel and all
the superiors testify; those who were versed in Asia with John, the
disciple of the Lord, claimed that John brought them that information. And that He
he remained among them until the time of Trajan. Moreover, some of them, not only
they saw Juan, but the other apostles also saw him, and they heard the same story
regarding the validity of the statement.

"The declaration" or "the information" is evidently the assertion that Jesus had

and all the superiors testify" reads like a written addition that deals with

designed to enhance the impact of the previous statement; speaks of Jesus,
during his ministry, being of all ages, and assuming the age of each
person who was listening to him.

It is not known how Irenaeus assimilated this information within his belief in the
resurrection. The Anti-Nicene Fathers editors called it a 'statement'
extraordinary," but it could simply imply that Irenaeus had been grossly
in some way in an error. It must be clear that if the declaration had
merely involved the fact that Jesus had been a teacher for one, two or
three years until the day he was crucified, is not something Irenaeus would have
