Mahâsthâmaprâpta loves you!!Originally posted by surfbabe:Is the above true?
Is that why he sits on the right of Buddha (West), while Avalokitesvara sits on the left of Buddha (East)?
Da Shi Zhi Pu Sa, or Great Strength Bodhisattva.Originally posted by askxyz:Actually who is Mahâsthâmaprâpta ?
I think it is not very important to know who is who la. But it is me, my master's, and also the dalai lama's belief that Jesus Christ is an enlightened being or a bodhisattva.Originally posted by surfbabe:Is the above true?

Of course, how can a scammer in the ancient ages be an enlightened being?Originally posted by askxyz:This must be a joke!!![]()

It could be an ancient Buddha turning into a Bodhisattva, like Guan Yin. Who knows.Originally posted by dragg:that makes him lower than buddha?
x2Originally posted by surfbabe:Anyway, this was merely put across as a question. Don't think anyone really knows the REAL truth for sure. Like no one can guarantee there's really a heaven and hell (unless u've been there and come back), that God really exists (even if you've a first encounter, how can u be sure it's not an illusion and that was evil spirits in disguise) and that one can really go to heaven due to his/her strong faith in religion. On the other hand, there are many real life examples of reincarnated souls.
Uh well, the truth is out there.
