The Buddhist
missionaries
to Palestine
and Egypt
became known
as the Pure
followers of
the
Enlightened
Saviour
(Light of
the World)
or Essenes
as well as
the
Therapeuts,
who began
converting
man away
from the
Slaughterhouse
Altars and
Temples of
the Jews.
Like
Buddhists,
the
succeeding
Essenes
discontinued
all
teachings of
Retribution
or Karma,
teaching
forgiveness,
rather than
"eye for eye,
tooth for
tooth"
excuses for
killing and
endless
revenge,
becoming
regarded as
Immortals
having
blessed and
deathless
life.
"Those
ancient
Therapeuts
were
Christians,
and their
ancient
scriptures
were our
Gospels and
Epistles",
both
Eusebius and
Epiphanius
established
as early
Church
history.
The
Therapeuts,
Essenes,
Pythagorians
and Magi,
received
their rule
of life and
origins from
the
Gymnosophites,
name given
by Philo,
etc. for the
Buddhist
yogi
Missionaries
from India.
