Miracles+of+Buddha,+Jesus,+and+Moses

The Miracle of Hope:
There are two miracles that all of these great prophets preformed that one might not think about. It was not the moving of stones, or the walking of water, or the making of peace between two warring nations. It was the miracle of hope, and of communing and being close to their Gods. Both Moses and Jesus gave help to the Jews when the Romans or the Egyptians were kicking them down. Buddha gave his students hope of breaking the cycle of birth and rebirth by becoming enlightened and finding peace in the world. These miracles that they performed gave the ordinary people something to think about, something to look forward to; whether it was freedom from an army or freedom from the bitter attachments of life.

Connecting With the Gods:
The second miracle preformed by all is connecting with God or Brahma. Moses had help from God to perform his miracles, and was given guidance from Him as a burning bush in the desert and the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. Jesus is believed by some to be the son of God, and so would be connected with him in that way. Jesus also died and was resurrected, going to heaven to be with his father. It is said that Buddha found Brahma when he became enlightened, and the God convinced him to return to earth and teach others the middle path.

You can see from this how the religions are similar to each other. Sure they have their differences, but if these great leaders did have some of the greatest miracles of all time in common. If it wasn’t something they did, it was at least the meaning or the out come of the miracle that connected them to one another.
