  Vegetarianism and religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In one of the Pali sutras belonging to the Theravada lineage of Buddhism, the Buddha says that vegetarianism is preferable, but as monks in ancient India were expected to receive all of their food by begging they had little or no control over their diet.
In the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra, the Buddha states that "the eating of meat extinguishes the seed of great compassion", adding that all and every kind of meat and fish consumption (even of animals already found dead) is prohibited by him.
A long passage in the Lankavatara Sutra shows the Buddha weighing strongly in favor of vegetarianism, since the eating of the flesh of fellow sentient beings is said by him to be incompatible with the compassion a Bodhisattva should strive to cultivate.

 Daniel Chapter Seven: The Three Great Religions And The Beast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Preaching the "Greater Vehicle" to spiritual salvation, the Lotus Sutra is a scripture of prophecy and liberation from the "Lesser Vehicle" of Buddhism that required one to reach perfection through detachment from materialism and 'the five worldly desires'.
The Lotus Sutra is also a manual for implementing an evangelistic brotherhood of discipleship, nearly identical to teachings of Jesus regarding discipleship in the Kingdom of Heaven.
The evangelical nature of Mahayana Buddhism has resulted in the Lotus Sutra influencing all of the religions of the East in one way or another, allowing spiritual hope and compassion into what largely could be said to be philosophical religions formerly restricted to the wealthy or those capable of full time devotions.

Isaiah I. In Christianity: In Christian theology, atonement is the reconciliation ('at-one-ment') of men and women to God through the death of Christ.
Composed around 300 CE, it was translated into Tibetan and Chinese and has remained immensely popular as a summary of the doctrine of 'emptiness' (*sunyata) or 'voidness' which lies at the heart of the Perfection of Wisdom writings.
The full title of the text is 'The Diamond-Cutter Perfection of Wisdom Sutra' (Vajracchedika-prajñaparamitra-sutra), and, as its name suggests, it is thought to have the power to cut through ignorance like a diamond for those who study and reflect upon its profound meaning.

It is the way of the sutras preached before the Lotus Sutra to say nothing concerning the sutras that were to be preached in the future.
Thus we may see that, in the Lotus Sutra, the Tathagata gave definite form both to his true intention and to the methods to be used in teaching and conferring benefit.
The Lotus Sutra teaches that there is ultimately only "one vehicle", when one realizes that, one looks at other teachings and sees that those that are wise have "correspondence" with the teachings of the Lotus Sutra.

Casual book browsers who stumble across Braden's book, "The Isaiah Effect," might undoubtedly be drawn to the implications of the title: that there exists some mystical, unifying code which is only now being fully understood through modern techniques, research, and understanding.
The mixing of religions, for example - a sort of pick-and-choose spirituality which has slowly been creeping its way into the mainstream for decades - is recycled over and over again, drawing from endless sources of gnostic gospels and other lost books.
Such a revelation is not a new interpretation of Isaiah at all.

Review Confucius, Lao Tsu, Plato's Meno, the Buddha's "First Sermon," the Jaina selections, Zera Jacob, and the overhead on pluralism (from Isaiah Berlin).
As a final requirement, please address the criticism of Confucius that he fails to draw a sharp line between a moral and a political sphere.
Isaiah Berlin argues that the view that the good is the same for everyone has totalitarian political consequences, namely, rule by an elite, those "party members" or priests or "philosopher-kings" who have the clearest understanding of that single good, the telos to which all human life should be directed.

 Buddha and Jesus Christ. Evaluating "Copycat" Claims
Now although the painting of the resurrection scene dates to around 1100 AD, it depicts the resurrection of the Buddha from a Buddhist text known as the Mahamaya Sutra which is much earlier.
I checked an English translation of the Chinese Buddhist cannon, and a note says that the Mahamaya Sutra was "Translated by Than-kin of the Northern Tshi dynasty, AD 550-577." So the Sutra must have been written at least a century before the year 550 AD.
The important thing that I found was that the sutra also goes by the name "Sutra of Buddha's ascent to the Trayastrimsa heaven to preach the law to his mother." As the web site says, the Buddha then laid back down in the coffin and closed the lid.
