A report in today's Guardian of a new film in the making that 'portrays
Jesus as a holy man and teacher inspired by a myriad of  
eastern religions in India' might interest Buddha l'ers.   'We think  
that Indian religions and Buddhism, especially with the idea of meditation,
played a big part in Christ's thinking. In the film we are looking beyond
the canonised gospels to the 'lost' gospels," said William Sees Keenan, the
producer.'  The report also includes this:  
"I have seen the scrolls which show Buddhist monks talking about Jesus's
visits. There are also coins from that period which show Yuzu or have the
legend Issa on them, referring to Jesus from that period," said Fida
Hassnain, former director of archaeology at the University of Srinagar.
Hassnain, who has written books on the legend of Jesus in India, points out
that there was extensive traffic between the Mediterranean and India around
the time of Jesus's life. The academic pointed out that in Srinagar a tomb
of Issa is still venerated. "It is the Catholic church which has closed its
mind on the subject. Historians have not."
