Namaste,

Realistically I think we can only ever speculate on anything we have not directly contributed to or seen happen.

@Bodhisvasti - you said "Also, he really was very much the jew. And taught many things that would not benefit the Buddhist on his path."

As a Jew and practising Buddhist I find this interesting. Firstly, he really did not do many Jewish things other than observe Shabbat and Passover. Secondly, when you say he did not teach many beneficial things, are you referring to concept of atman? Could you please elaborate on what other non beneficial things there are? I ask purely out of curiosity's sake.

In metta,
Raven
