Jesus in Budhist Monastries Nicholas Notovitch

Assalamo Allaikum !
Thanks for this wonderful new discovery you posted on Life of Jesus.
A one-time undercover , I see where Nicholas Notovitch is coming from. Spies need something to camouflage and make good of the time they have at their disposal without supervised and having to report to any one for days and sometimes months and years.
I find his descriptions of his sojourns to the remote parts of Afghan, Tibet, Kashmir and indeed a lot in India very fascinating, lucid and powerfully convincing to suggest any concoction, manufacturing or afterthoughts.
It is his memoir, therefore not a fiction and is more likely to be credible. The fact that he was a Russian spy should not discredit his work. There are many spies, including CIA and FBI agents, who did what they had to but they are very credible writers. In fact I know one of them became a Muslim and writes and speaks in the Muslim forums in US on a regular basis. He is either the editor or a regular contributor to Washington Post on the Middle East.
In the elementary schools when we read a little of whatever was known than of Confucius left me ( and I am sure many of you as well) thinking a lot about the similarities with Jesus.
The Buddhists teachings seem to be similarly affected or at least seem to have some traces of what can be said to belonging to Jesus’ teachings.
As you know some faiths cast a long shadow in the past and its wake either overshadow some of the salient features of other faiths from which they may have either borrowed heavily or with the passage time diluted them so much as to weaken the actual identity and origin. I seem to have a similar problem with the Buddhists origin.
Nicholas’ discovery of the manuscript regarding Jesus in the possession of Buddhist monasteries sheds light on what I perceive as a gloomy picture of their faith and seems to make sense that Jesus may have had a tremendous impact on them. The modern day Buddhist may not readily yield to that fact though. ( If I am not mistaken Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Rabe did elude to possibility of Jesus teaching being instrumental in the Buddhist school of thought)
Nicholas’ plot centered around the recovery of the script or at least have it translated is powerful as he seems to be so passionate about it that he goes back for it after he breaks his leg from a fall and makes good use of his return as an excuse to accomplish his mission.
His desperations to get an approval from Catholic hierarchy to publish it and being dissuaded not to so all seem a very logical thing anyone in his position may have sought to do, although he could have done it long time ago without anyone’s permission and risking the forfeiture of the manuscript and even own life.
This posting generated a side discussion with anther budding Muslim writer who called me this morning and to say that she avoids controversial subjects that Ahmadis are so fond of specially with regards to Jesus.
I submitted to her politely that Holy Quran is meant to deal with the controversies for Allah has “sent it down as a Discrimination (Furqan)”. That it deals with false and fictions of other faiths upfront and establishes the Truth. Issues such as “Allah begets none and nor is He begotten” deals a straight blow into the central doctrine of Christianity - Jesus being son God. And directed her attention to the more direct reference of Jesus being a mere human being as demonstrated by Allah in a dialogue (in Sural Al Maidah) when Jesus will be questioned about his position on the Day of Judgment.
In his reply (and probably in his defense Jesus will deny that he ever told his people to take him or his mother as gods besides Allah. And as further evidence he will say, “ I was a guide over them as long as lived among them but since Thou CAUSED ME TO DIE, Thou has been a watcher them.”
I submitted, this presented a double - controversy between Islam and Christianity one hand and Ahmadis and the Mainstream Muslims on the other. On both fronts Quran settles the question resolutely that Jesus (nor his mother) was god and that he died when first came on earth.
In this sense, I submitted to the lady writer, that Ahmadis have a bounden duty to expose the fiction that surrounds the life of Jesus whom billions of people believe as God and as Son of God which is the worst thing that can be said against Allah. That when it is made clear to the Christian that Jesus was a human being and he died a natural death, their faith takes a natural collapse and Islam prevails because of its true teachings.
Like the issues of Jesus - being Son of God, the God and the Holy Ghost- Holy Quran also addresses many other controversial issues of same sex marriage, consumption of liquor and swine, gambling and compound interests which are so important to the advanced countries like USA. We cannot avoid these issues or dance around them like Ahmad Deedat did regarding Jesus about whom he said everything we say ( and obviously stolen right out of the literature of Hazrat Masih-e-Maoud) but lacked the guts to show that Jesus died a natural death. In the interfaith forums people pose these questions to show that Islam is not compatible with the modern time. This is where we come in to provide that missing link and put things in right perspective.
In dealing with these controversies as taught in the Holy Quran by the Merciful and loving Allah who stood true to His promises and the words of His Noble Prophet Muhammad (sas) and sent Hazrat Masih -e- Maoud for the guidance of the latter day Muslims, we seek a special joy , satisfaction and closeness to Allah by delivering His message the way it is indeed in the Al FURQAN separating the False from the Truth.
