Abstract:

It would be easy to say that Buddha and Jesus have common features in their lifes. Buddha was born of a virgin without carnal intercourse same as Jesus was born of a virgin without carnal intercourse. According to Gospel of first Thomas, when Jesus was an infant in his cradle, he spoke to his mother and said, I am Jesus, the son of God; same as when Buddha was an infant, just born, he spoke to his mother and said: I am the greatest among men. The life of Jesus was threatened by King Herod, same as the life of Buddha was threatened by King Bimbarasa. Both Buddha and Jesus were baptized in the presence of the spirit of God, went to their temples at the age of twelve Makalenin geliş tarihi: 08.01.2014 Makalenin kabul tarihi: 25.04.2014 where clerics are said to have astonished all with their wisdom, fasted in unsettled solitude for a long time that Buddha for forty seven days and Jesus for forty, were about the same age that thirty years of age when they began their public ministry, were intended to tempt by the devil (satan) at the beginning of their ministry. They experienced the supernatural powers after the devil left, because angels came and ministered to them. The crowds required a sign from Jesus and Buddha in order that they might believe, and both strove to establish a kingdom of heaven. As Buddha represented himself as a mere link in a long chain of enlightened teachers; Jesus who didnt obey the law and prophets but said that think not that I have come to abolish the law, and the prophets, I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them (Matthew 5:17).
