21 Lamaas heard about their plotting and their plans, and sent a messenger to warn his friend; and Jesus hastened to depart.
22 By night he left Benares, and with haste he journeyed to the north; and everywhere, the farmers, merchants and the sudras helped him on his way.
23 And after many days he reached the mighty Himalayas, and in the city Kapivastu he abode.
24 The priests of Buddha opened wide their temple doors for him.
CHAPTER 32.
Jesus and Barata. Together they read the sacred books. Jesus takes exception to the Buddhist doctrine of evolution and reveals the true origin of man. Meets Vidyapati, who becomes his co-laborer.
Among the Buddhist priests was one who saw a lofty wisdom in the words that Jesus spoke. It was Barata Arabo.
2 Together Jesus and Barata read the Jewish Psalms and Prophets; read the Vedas, the Avesta and the wisdom of Guatama.
3 And as they read and talked about the possibilities of man, Barata said,
4 Man is the marvel of the universe. He is a part of everything, for he has been a living thing on every plane of life.
