I simply stated what I know if there is something about Buddhism and temptation plse share so we can all learn.
Buddhism and the Buddha too offers many things we can learn from.

i have looked up Buddha's temptation.story. This is the powerful Buddha vs mara temptation story...
we should be focussed on what is important no matter what temptations are thrown at us.
the buddha story also has this aspect of transforming weapons to flowers. To me it symbolises the
conversions of temptation and evil to good.
example I gave of woman luring married man to sin...not just the man say NO but turn the sinful woman to good.
our own ego is the challenge we contend with and often our greatest weakness.

It is similar to Jesus temptation and is 500 years earlier
Jesus went to India when Buddhism already spread far and wide
Check your timeline
No wonder you still poor and holding your bags after so many years
You are right.
Jesus probably learned from Buddhism when he disappeared for several years.The stories in the bible are very similar to other stories not just in Buddhism but also
other ancient religions. Some say it is a copy.
But they made Jesus into God when Jesus was probably a prophet or teacher like Buddha and Mohamed.
The power of Roman n western conspiracy.
The bible was written 100s of years after the death of Jesus. That alone is suspicious.

i dont this matters. these ideas to do good over evil may be widely shared wisdom in ancient times so we wont know who realy originated t. what is important is we can use it.
