Message: <blockquote data-quote="ibnanv" data-source="post: 10319369" data-attributes="member: 218596">[FONT=Verdana,Arial]  The Buddha leader Gautama, has prophesized  the coming of an inspired person. In the Gospel of Buddha by Caras (pp.  217-8) it is written that this great Buddha will come to the world  known as the "Maitreya". The Cakkavatti-Sihanada Suttana gives him the  name "Metteyya". Both these words mean "The Merciful One". By reference  to the life-history of Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), it can be seen that he was  indeed extremely merciful and the Al-Qur'an also refers to this fact.  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]There  are further similarities, as the Buddhist Scripture reads: "His  (Maitreya) disciples will number many thousands, while mine number many  hundreds".  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]It  is a known fact that with Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) were thousands followers.  There are further similarities, which will be elucidated below.  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]In  the Gospel of Buddha (by Carus - p214), an enlightened Buddah is  described as having a very bright skin and that, a Buddha attains  supreme insight at night time, he dies naturally at night, looks very  bright before his death, and finally, after his death he ceases to exist  on the earth. All these points can be applied to the holy prophet of  Islam. (Read his life story).  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]In Si-Yu-Ki, Vol I, p.229, it is written that "... no words can describe the personal beauty of Maitreya".  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]Again  we leave it up to you to examine the history of Islam in detail; both  muslims and nonmuslims are almost unanimous in asserting that Muhammad  (p.b.u.h.) was very handsome and beautiful indeed.  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]Si-Yu-Ki  Vol I. (p.229) further reads "..the exquisite voice of the Bodhisattva  (Maitreya) is soft and pure and refined; those who listen can never  tire, those who hear are never satiated."  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]The  Arabic language is remarkable for its beauty. Furthermore, the holy  Qur'an is considered a work of the highest unique literary merit by  friend and foe alike.  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]Buddhist  Scriptures have defined further characteristics of Buddha. In order to  qualify for the Maitreya, he must satisfy those conditions.  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]A  Buddha must be a human being - not a diety. A Buddha must have five  special gifts, viz. The gift of treasure, the gift of child, the gift of  wife, the gift of rule (i.e. leaderhip, headstatesman) and the gift of  life and limb. In addition, the Buddha would be teacherless, i.e.  without any form of formal education. Gautama has also stressed that the  Buddha is simply a man, salvation depends only on an individuals deeds,  the Buddha can only preach - he does not have the claim of being in  part supernatural.  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]The characteristics above are all in accordance with the life of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.).  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]Another  similarity which should be mentioned is that for every enlightened  Buddha, there is a special "Bo-tree". Some modern commentators believe  that the "Bo-tree" of the Maitreya is a tree with hard or heay wood. The  prophet (p.b.u.h.) had a tree at Hodebbeyyaa, which was the place of an  important treaty. The Qur'an gives the name "Shajar" to this tree  (Surah 48:Verse 18). "Shejar" according to some scholars refer to any  tree with a hard stem.  [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial]Again it is highly remarkable that such close similarity should exist.      [/FONT]</blockquote>
