That's not Buddhism though. It's the bullshit that is called "Buddhism" by the unenlightened masses who make up the Buddhist "faith." Buddha never meant to create a religion, become a deity, devise a cosmology, or any of 95% of what modern Buddhism consists of. The Buddha wanted to create an empirically confirmed discipline for transcending the suffering that is synonymous with existence. Of course, what he was trying to do got derailed the second he died and mundane humans started doing what they do best and creating dogmas and superstitions to surround him and his teachings with. Of course, the exact same is true of Christianity, and if either the Buddha or Christ saw what became of their teachings and novel insights into existence, they would shake their heads. Tl;dr none of what you are saying was influenced by Christianity in Buddhism actually has any relevance to the Buddha's teachings (of course, neither does it have any connection to Christ's, it is merely one superstition leading another in the name of two great men who were far beyond the trifles this concerns).

It was the other way around Christianity = Buddhism

"Where did Jesus go for 33 years?" He was traversing the spine of humanity. You will begin to see that numerical events have been constructed around the persona known as Jesus, in order to tell a astrological story, and in order to speak to those who can hear.

>>17340632

This. For those who have really make a research about real Buddhism, not the religious one, it is clear that it lacks of concepts, since the teachings are experiences instead. For instance, reincarnation as a concept is part of the religious interpretation, that's why it sounds like a silly tale, Christian style (you know, reborn in animals and that bullshit). But it's really about the experience of being always you, the realizing of the existence as present, because we remember things in present, and when we think in the future we do it in present too, so you are always you, even in your dreams or on drugs. There's not unconsciousness, there's not a time when you awake. There's no change of state. You are always you. But again, it's an experience, not a concept.

Azns thinking white people and their silly fantasies actually works.

Also after you breach the aperture of history unfortunately cast upon culture and civilization by the Christians, you find all religious and magical primal sources come from places not considered a cultural center in modern times. There are no 'peoples' by which we can say they stole these things for there are no names save the Nords which we can say they shamed in practice.
This is partially because the library of Alexandria was burned and the trend of 'history being written by the victor' or as I say 'bitch-ass disease', also partially because of the decline of magic. Take this example for instance, the change from the Gods and Theurgy of Sumeria to the locally centered Pagan dispersions which were ousted by the Holy Romans compared from the Pagans to the Catholics, the rituals simply become less specific. They focus on the whole of 'Apotheosis' rather than the numerous Laws and Aspects through which much advancement in physics and other sciences was made in Persia for example, which still today gets robbed because of their initial ascertaining of the sciences.

I think all this is to blame on a decline in French Templar-like magic, which eventually deluded into
>a while after Christians started using constant repetitions.

Also what does OP think of Majutsu and KujiKiri?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuji-kiri

there always was an influence on Christianity from Dharmic religions, as early Christianity developed more or less along the silk road. If the Nicene Creed had not wiped out so much of Christianity's traditions as "heresy" more of these influences would be evident today. What survives of Gnostic Christianity shows a lot of influence from Dharmic religion.

Jesus was raised by his handlers to be a messiah figure. He was brought up in an ancient monastery in Jerusalem which was a sect of masonry or an even older group known as the brotherhood of the snake out of egypt, and pushed towards enlightenment. He knew that if he proclaimed himself the Messiah they would kill him, something like only 5% of his actual teachings have survived.

Jesus caused a big stir when he went to India by conversing with all of the castes despite being welcomed into the upper scholarly caste. In India, teaching thee lower castes the steps towards enlightenment and etc was not okay. He wound up having to flee.

Except you have it backwards, you uneducated pleb. Buddhism began around 500 bce,, almost 600 full years before Christianity started to gain ground (seeing how the gospels weren't written until decades, possibly a full century after Jesus supposedly lived). The bible and christianity is also notorious for plagiarizing from other cultures and claiming they are there own, the best example being it's warped retelling of the flood story from the Epic of Gilgamesh, which predates the first writings of the bible by almost 2,000 years.

In Chinese, as in the Mandarin variety spoken in the PRC, it's mo-shu. Japanese is not necessarily wrong, but it's not really original. They borrowed a lot from the other countries around them and even some European ones. I just thought I'd point that out there, while you're talking about cultural appropriation.

>>17348844
Well put, but as a Magi I do not suffer form the shortsightedness of your (these guys) historic scope. 'Magic' as we know it now, I prefer the Arcane Arts, haven't really been seen since over 6000 years ago, as the Church loves to repeat as if they actually killed something. Most of culture is like the arcane arts of which I speak and are inherited and have evolved.

With the current public evidence archaeologists have submitted to academia or have been restricted via corrupt govts, the Chinese lands seem to be a bridge from Middle Earth, and may have even been the lighter side of the pre-Akkadian and Babylonian races of course mixed with Nubians and other pre Sahara races.

Basically I disagree with the claim of appropriation, as I would, in the mundane modern times, be speaking of their 'souls' or Kami more acutely (I don't know the Chinese equivalent word), but their Qi inclined master souls would in effect tend to agree with statements which are on the fringe of explanation.

If anything I'm bridging the gap; I want to know whats on the other side of the collapsed end of their tunnel systems, the geology there is fascinating, especially toward the North.

Buddhism existed long before Siddhartha Guatama lived in its infancy. Pretty much people trying to find a way to Enlightenment, whether it be starving themselves and subjecting themselves to as much physical suffering as possible or whatever.

It's well known by academic authorities he actually existed, but his life is debated still. Because it happened such a long time ago... Faggot.

Nubia is pretty much the NE corner of Africa. It goes all the way south to the lat. of the tip of Madagascar, as far west as what is now the Mid Sahara.

I think Nubians were the original supporters of the Greeks that came to Egypt as Gods (with slight ability) but later they needed more slaves and the Nubians (around when Atlantis was around) disapproved of the 'dark arts' of Atlantis, so if they thought they were Greek, they might not have got that so readily as gossip goes...

Christ is painted making that hand gesture because it symbolize the number of latters in His full name

In all versions of Byzantine icons, the right hand of our Savior is raised to bless. This gesture we meet at Orthodox priests who durring church services bless those present, religious objects that they use or gifts for holiness.

Placing the fingers of the right hand of the one who blesses is not accidental - but a form of monogram of JESUS CHRIST: IC XC - Thus, the index finger indicating the letter "iota" meaning "I"; middle finger, trough bending, resembles the letter "sigma", meaning "C"; ring finger, crossing the thumb, forming the latter "hi", which is "X"; also trough arch, bending, little finger is forming the letter "sigma", meaning "C".

Any blessing given by the priest or the holy icons reminds us of the Saviour Jesus Christ, because from Him comes the blessing upon all flesh. The priest himself confesses in the Divine Liturgy, when blesses people gathered in the sanctuary, that the blessing he gives is not his, but God's "Blessing of the Lord be upon all, with His Grace and His love of people." ( don't know if this is the exact formulation, mentally translating from my own language. )

No sorry, it has no connection with Chi Rho and what is mentioned in the OP, again it's a byzantine representation technique.

It's the artistic, historical w/e reality.

The hand thing is present only in paintings and while priests give the blessings, Jesus never used that symbol during life time.

Why do people care about stuff like this so much? Uncovering the history of a belief system isn't going to also uncover any sort of underlying truth of the universe or give your life meaning that isn't already there.
The point of life is to simply be alive. Focus your attention on the present moment, because it is all you have. Have fun with life and realize it's a huge playground where you get to play with other kids.

Everyone takes life so seriously, just sit back, have some fun, and spread the love.
