Merle, We don't know which teachers or how many teachers Jesus had. Some claim he'd been to India (and back). We also don't really know what his state of mind was: had he stopped at "One Mind"?, or had he gone further, to "No Mind" (Zen Mind)? We don't know. Scriptures also are divergent about what they claim of him. The gospels were also written rather long after Jesus' death, and not by people who knew him, I think. Paul wrote some 85 years after Jesus died, for example. Talk to me/us more about Zen people and their enlightenment; we can be more clear and more sure of those cases, and those biographies. The Zen Buddhist tradition carries a reliable body of teaching and methods for awakening and its maintenance. It is not all rolling the dice, taking shots in the dark, and reinventing the wheel. That's why it's called a tradition. I think Jesus was taught by the Essenes. And maybe in India. --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > joe..well thank christ for that!..hey joe..how come christ he was >enlightened..we all agree..he had no teacher...merle > > Merle, > > If it is the pit, there are no vipers there. > > --Joe > > > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@> wrote: > > > > dear joe..i like the basement ..i like the wine cellar however can it be > > called the pit?... merle
