Actually everyone, every sentient being in the universe will
eventually become enlightened. But if you want to become
enlightened it is important that you hear the teachings and
practises that leads to liberation, enlightenment. As I have
mentioned, Jesus taught many teachings out of skillful means that
is the practise of virtuous qualities -
...He argued that the Buddha knew people were not always ready for
the higher truth because it "wouldn't suit, wouldn't help."
Therefore, lesser truths are sometimes taught because of the
person's ignorance or condition. This is known in Buddhist dharma
as the doctrine of uppayah, or skillful means. The Dalai Lama then
applied this to the question about Jesus.
"Jesus Christ also lived previous lives," he said. "So, you see, he
reached a high state, either as a Bodhisattva, or an enlightened
person, through Buddhist practice or something like that. Then, at
a certain period, certain era, he appeared as a new master, and
then because of circumstances, he taught certain views different
from Buddhism, but he also taught the same religious values as I
mentioned earlier: Be patient, tolerant, compassionate. This is,
you see, the real message in order to become a better human being."
He said that there was absolutely no lying involved since Jesus'
motivation was to help people....
According to Buddhism, by practising all these one will gain the
blessings and ability in rebirth in virtuous realms. However to be
totally liberated is not just a matter of practising these virtuous
qualities. And the higher teachings of Jesus are often not taught,
or misinterpreted, and as I mentioned, many of the
teachings of Jesus are misinterpreted nowadays.
