The traditional Christian doctrine lacks information about the life of Jesus Christ in the age of 13-33. This book, first published at the end of the 19th century gives an unexpected answer. It is based on the Tibetan manuscript found in 1980's and tells that the mystery of the «lost years» of Jesus lies in his travel to Nepal. There, he learned Buddhist teachings and philosophy to complete his world view and later reflect it in his teaching. The book has caused some big waves in its time and the discussions continue even today. Was this possible and real? What was the purpose of such a dangerous journey? The proponents of this theory state that at the time of Jesus Christ, Nepal was a center of the most advanced philosophy – Buddhism. It was natural for a spiritual leader to learn and teach one of the best philosophies of the world.
Аннотация
Every Bible student knows there are several years in the life of Christ that are unaccounted for. But what accounts for that gap? Was Jesus in Nazareth from the ages of thirteen through twenty-nine? Or was he teaching and studying in India, as this thoroughly intriguing — and controversial — book suggests? The story begins in 1887, when Russian explorer Nicolas Notovitch went on an expedition to learn about the customs of the people of India. During his travels, he visited a Buddhist monastery where he heard about a holy man, thought to be Jesus, who visited the region 2,000 years before. The Buddhists called him «Issa» — and there was an ancient document that could confirm the similarities. As Notovitch embarked on a treacherous journey to track down the evidence, he broke his leg in an accident and found himself recuperating at a monastery that possessed a copy of the document. The chief lama showed him a scroll that described a man with an uncanny resemblance to Jesus of Nazareth and his teachings. In spite of warnings from various churches, Notovitch published his findings. Whether you accept or deny this fascinating account of Christ's «missing years,» — a claim that's attracted widespread attention — you'll agree it makes compelling reading for people of all faiths.
