Most students want to be teachers instead of students. It feels special to be a leader instead of a follower. That’s how religions get started. People think they understand Buddha and so someday you end up with Buddhism. But Buddha didn’t want to start a religion. People would ask him, “What are you?” and he would say, “I am awake.” That’s what he wanted for them, not hundreds of rituals to follow. He was a wisdom Teacher.
And of course everybody and their brother thought they knew what J was saying, or they had an agenda that led them to say something to the contrary, and someday you have a religion purported to be about him. Yet like Buddha, a religion was not something J would be interested in. He was also a wisdom Teacher. ~ The Lifetimes When Jesus and Buddha Knew Each Other Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo
