[Buddha-l] Re: Jesus is Buddha?

[STEPHEN BAMBER]

Warm greetings from Liverpool UK,

Interestingly, in 'A John Hick Reader' (Badham, P., [ed.], Macmillan,
London, 1990: 108)

"Thus Gautama was the dharma made flesh, as Jesus was the word made
flesh: indeed the Burmese translation of the New Testament treats the
Dharma as the equivalent of Logos, so that the opening sentence of St.
John's gospel reads 

'In the beginning was the Dharma....'" 


Hick references this:

J.O.Percy (ed.),'Facing the Unfinished Task: Messages delivered at the
congress on World Mission' Eerdman, Grand Rapids, 1961: 9

Kind Regards,

Stephen. B.

Curt,

Why not suggest the Prologue to the Gospel of John?  There Jesus is not
kind of God.  But I wonder if there might not be some manner by which
the
Christian understanding of Incarnation might be conceived as grounded in
the trikaya.  Of course, there is likely no one-to-one correspondence to
any of the kaya wih any of the Persons
