The title of the thread and youtube is misleading, it's not even the title of the documentary which is "Did Jesus Die".

It was a while ago that I watched it but I don't recall it making any such claim that Jesus was an ordained member of the Buddhist Sangha, rather that he was influenced by contact with Buddhist teachers and this influenced his attempt to reform Judaism.

The main point as far as I remember was to find a rational explanation for the disappearance of his body that doesn't buy into the usual myth.

It's true, the documentary was not initially about this idea. But towards the end it brings up the idea that he was a Buddhist. That was the only part I was interested in. I personally don't believe Jesus even existed, I was just interested in what others thought. I think that Christianity is a religion created by people that were not accepted into the racial religion of Judasim (it almost seems you have to be a certain race to be accepted in that religion, learn about the oppression of black (dark skinned) jews and see for yourself). Or Christianity was created by jews to control none jews. There seems to be some similarities in Jesus' gospels and Buddhism, but then again a lot of religions share values and beliefs.
