The proof that Jesus was a Buddhist.
Why did he talk about God?
He didn't talk about god, his followers talked about him talking about god.
Why did he not talk about the Atman or Samsara?
Because he was talking to Jews and trying to convert them slowly to Buddhism, so why would be bring those up? http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GLOSSARY/ATMAN.HTM
Atman was in the Rig Veda, which is a sacred Hindu book.
Now if you were talking about Buddhist Atman, that was talking about sins. And Yeshua did talk about sins.
'Atman' is a conceptual attachment to oneself that promotes a false belief that one is intrinsic and without incident
In other words, a sin to oneself of being naive that one is pure without sins. In our list of sins, that would be prideful.
Later schools of Buddhism such as the Pudgalavada, however, re-introduce the concept of a "person" which transmigrates. The basic idea that there is a cycle of birth and rebirth is, however, not questioned in early Buddhism and its successors, and neither is, generally, the concept that saCs

Ga.
Talking about reincarnation was a big taboo and Yeshua did talk about such things. He just didn't spend his time aimlessly talking about it to people that wouldn't understand.
According to the scriptures from Judas, Yeshua talked about a divine land in which one can find freedom from the sins that plague everyday life. People mistook that of him talking about heaven, he was in fact talking about nirvana which is a mental state of no longer being cursed to live as a human and on this planet, which is hell.
Buddhism was founded on a rejection of such metaphysical substances, and originally accounts for the process of rebirth/reincarnation by appeal to phenomenological or psychological constituents
Or basically in Buddhism samsara was the principle of which kept you from going to nirvana, which was the indulgences of the physical world. Sins incase you didn't knew. But basically it wasn't the act of performing a sin, yet rather to treasure such so much that you are unable to leave the cycle of reincarnation on Earth.
And yes Yeshua did talk about such and he never brought up, Samsara or Atman. What he did was try to approach using what the Jews and such could understand from such terms. And what is written is what the followers viewed upon from what he said.
But the main point though was that Yeshua was a Buddhist and his monk like ways confused and enlightened his followers. But only a few actual accounts, from those that were altered by the Corrupt Catholic Church, known as the Gnostic Gospils identify what Yeshua was truely trying to preach.
Why did he not mention Siddartha Guatima?
He did, the fact that Buddha is looked upon in Christianity as being a prophet of god is a part of that fact.
Why was he able to perform miracles?
All Buddhist monks were believes to fly, perform miracles, berid demons and evil spirits, and do many other things. It's believe that since they were intoned to their spirit and mind more closely than that of an everyday person that they can control the very little mental and physical energy and do many great things. But these things are very little compare to what they could do if they had more evolved minds and bodies.
I don't think your idea holds. I'll look at the sources when I have some time.
Well maybe you should. Then maybe you'll understand who Yeshua was.
