How about, What is Buddhisms role in Jesus? One European Professor claimed that Jesus actually traveled to India where he was greatly influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism and may have actually became a Lama during his time there before returning to his home to teach a form of the teachings he had learned.
to me hes a guy witha beard in a book and the closest thing in the real world being he was a carpenter in nazareth. thats it. no holiness or god like powers and understanding. just a carpente in a book with a beard.
No-one because Buddhists worship temple gods.
No. He was Jewish.
No
No
It seems that in the time of Jesus most Buddhists were located farther east, mainly China.
Steve Jobs was a Buddhist but is also a Christian before that. His sister Patty was able to talk to him on his deathbed about God and heaven and seeing Paul and Clara again.

Jesus would not have been Buddhist. Although Jesus shared some (not all) beliefs that are also core to Buddhism, such as being kind others, using moderation, and sharing what you have, Buddhism was still in early stages in Asia when Christ walked the Earth. It had not spread as far as the Roman Empire, where he resided.
This is an old myth, that Jesus must have spent time in a Buddhist community, probably in the Himalayas, because many of his teachings could be seen as reflecting Buddhist influences. However, the similarities are not close, and there is no reason to believe that Jesus ever went near a Buddhist community. The physical barriers to travel between Palestine and Tibet are so great that it seems preposterous that a poor carpenter could have made the journey.
Yes, and no. I am a Buddhist, and he gave me heaps of presents... I go to a scripture lesson at school though...and I respect Jesus, although I don't worship him. I guess showing interest in Christianity is one way of enjoying christmas...
No. Buddhist monks don't believe in the God because Buddha has scientifically explained that good or bad actions or Kamma of an individual are responsible for his happiness or unhappiness and nobody so called God.
Jesus existed but the stories of the bible can never be proven. Much that is attributed to Jesus has in fact been adopted from other religions. For example: A comparison between Jesus Christ and the Indian god Krishna reveals some 29 identical or similar incidents in their lives. There are also many similarities between Buddhist stories and those in the New Testament. Many of the sayings attributed to Jesus can be found in the Buddhist scriptures. Even the well-known Sermon on the Mount for example has been shown to have been taken almost word for word from a manuscript written centuries before Jesus was born.
No. He is Buddhist.
