耶穌年輕時曾經因為逃婚而在印度學習過六年佛法,這個觀點震撼整個基督教王國,這段故事英國噎拍成了電影“耶穌在印度”(Jesus in India)
《圣經》中關于耶穌12歲到30歲之間的記錄只有一段話:耶穌的智慧和
身量,并神和人喜愛他的心,都一齊增長。
(And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with
God and man.) (新約 -- 路加福音(Luke) -- 2:52). 那么這些年耶穌
在哪兒呢,他在干什么呢?為什么《圣經》沒有記載呢?
由于耶穌在12歲至32歲之間的事跡并沒有在任何經典中提及,因此引來了后人的猜測。有人指當時的耶穌與家人前往埃及避禍,但以新約全書內有關埃及的記載,似乎難以符合這個說法。有耶穌曾經到印度學佛一說,并拍攝了電影《水徒行紀》。根據這份由新世紀運動者Levi H. Dowling 宣稱由靈視觀看阿卡西記錄的《水徒行紀》記載了耶穌在這段真空期間的事情,耶穌經由當時是羅馬帝國一部份的小亞細亞,然后路經安息王朝的波斯及剛剛統一的貴霜帝國,然后才抵達印度及西藏等佛教圣地,在那里居住學習佛法約十年,才再經由波斯返抵以色列[27][28]。然而卻有錯誤資訊將此書傳為由伯多祿所寫并被視為偽經的書。 [29]俄國貴族諾托維奇早在1894年表示在喜馬拉雅山腳下拉達克的赫米斯寺院里親自讀到兩卷西藏經書,記載著耶穌在14歲時隨同商人來到印度地區學習 6年,后來又到尼泊爾繼續學習佛法6年[27][30]。另外有一說指出耶穌釘上十字架后沒有死去,而且移居印度,后來在克什米爾定居,并在斯利那加去世[27]。科幻小說作者Paul Davids便是采用了這個題材而制作了《耶穌在印度》(Jesus in India)這部電影[31]。現在斯利那加中有一個耶穌的墓穴供各大宗教的信徒敬拜。[32]
到了2007年,又有一位德國的亞洲研究博士生Christian Lindtner出版了一本名為《Geheimnisse um Jesus Christus》的書。在書里,Lindtner比較了希臘文版本的四福音書與巴利文及梵文的佛經內容。他的研究結果是:四福音書其實透過了各種手段,諸如利用了希伯來字母代碼(gematria)的數值、雙關語及同音字等來把古老的佛經內容重新包裝。這個研究結果引起了正反雙方的激辯。

Noack)先生筆記『在亞洲高原的冰雪與游牧民族中間』(Amidst Ice & Nomads In High Asia)亦提及曾于一九七○末年訪問列城法戒寺經過,他說當時詢問寺僧,一位喇嘛告以確有伊薩經卷鎖藏于經樓,該經卷敘述耶穌曾到達拉達克邦國研究佛法。挪克先生是大英皇家地理研究會會員,亦是美國加州科學學會的會員(California Academy Of Science ),素有令譽,他與夫人于一九五八年起至一九八四年之間,曾作十八次探險研究旅行于西藏、尼泊爾、錫金、不丹、拉達克、阿富汗、中國西北等各地與土耳其斯坦,并曾四次訪游列城,他的報導筆記,一向翔實可靠。

About the Author: Holger Kersten, born in 1951 in Magdeburg. In 1973-1974, he first visited the East, and conducted scientific investigations in Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan. In 1974-1979, he studied in the Freiburg University, majoring in religious education, and studied in India for half an year afterwards. Then, he taught theology in a technical school in Baden-Württemberg until 1982. Now he is now studying theology in Freiburg.
Summary: The Translator writes in the Translator’s Preface that till now it is still controversial whether there was such a person called Jesus. To sum it up, there are three views: (1) There was no such person in history, and the story of Jesus was just a fiction in legends, and it is Christianity which created Christ; (2) Jesus is the founder of Christianity, possessing two natures of divinity and humanity; (3) Jesus is not God but man, and is a religious figure in history. The Author Holger Kersten holds the last view. As a theologian, he has studied the historical documents and academic essays related to Christianity, and deliberately went to the place where Jesus supposingly had been there and conducted a field study. This book is written on the basis of this.
This book comprises six chapters. Chap 1 is about the Unknown History of Jesus (The Discovery of Nicolas Notovitch, The Wasserman-Gospel, Secular Sources, The Four Gospels, The Testimony of Paul, The Conclusion, My Trip to the Himalayas). Chap 2 is about Moses and His Children (The Origins of the Hebrews, Manu Manes-Minos-Moses, Who is Moses?, Moses is Buried in Kashmir, From Possession of Land to Scattering, The Children of Israel, Kashmir is the Promised Land, The Ten Lost Tribes of the Israelites, The Spread of Buddhism). Chap 3 is about Eastern Wisdom in the West (The Star of Wisdom, Who are the Three Sages?, How to Find One’s Reincarnation?, Escape to Egypt, Jesus the Nazerath, The Essenes—Christianity before Jesus, Qumran—The Teachings of the Essenes). Chap 4 is about the Secret of Jesus (Reincarnation in the New Testament, Wonders of Jesus in India, Krishna and Christ). Chap 5 is about the “Death” of Jesus (Guilt and Process, The Time of the Shroud of Turin, Scientific studies of the Shroud, Jesus is not Crucified on the Cross, Resurrection Viewed from Historical Events, Paul Met Jesus in Damascus). Chap 6 is about After the Crucifixion (To the Kingdom of Heaven, The “True” Jesus in Islam, Jesus in Kashmir, Jesus Is Buried in Srinagar).
