A thought, a reasonably grounded one, has been dwelling amongst theologians for some time. Is it possible Jesus was trained as a Buddhist?
Wise men sometimes travel to see the supposed new Delai Lama-and may have followed a star to find him. It is possible that from the age of about 14-28 (where there is little or no reference to Jesus that he was trained with Buddhism, possibly after being trained as a Jew.
