"He who seeks shall not stop seeking until he finds; and when he finds, he will be frightened, and after he is frightened, he will be astonished, and he will reign over the cosmos." These encrypted words of Jesus in the Thomas Gospel verse 2 describe a Nirvana experience.Nirvana (moksha) is the highest achievable spiritual objective for a human: it is the reunion with his spiritual origin. This is also precisely the meaning of the word "religion", which goes back to the Latin "religare" (reunificate). All world religions have the same origin and thus in their original form also the same goal, which is called in Buddhism Nirvana and in Hinduism Moksha.There is also Nirvana (eternal life in the Kingdom of God) in Christianity, there is a Bodhisattva (Buddha-like Savior Jesus Christ), there is the law of Karma (seed and harvest), and there was the doctrine of reincarnation in Christian dogma (until 543 A.D.). And indeed Jesus Christ died as Bodhisattva when realizing the central idea of early Mahayana Buddhism, taking over the Karma of mankind on his shoulders (purifying sins through his blood), and to lead them collectively to Salvation (from the wheel of reincarnation) and to Eternal Life (Nirvana).The revelation of the origin of Christianity from Mahayana Buddhism is the religious message of this report!But Nirvana is not just a religious process of consciousness. Within the material world, the consciousness is accompanied by the subtle body and follows the physical rules of "spiritual technology" on its journey to Nirvana, which is also to be discovered here.The present authentic report describes in detail the Nirvana experience of Loh Tse, proves it with the corresponding explanations from the millennia-old Vedic, Buddhist and Christian scriptures, shows their connections with modern quantum and astrophysics and thereby inevitably decodes the phenomenon of wave/particle duality.An unexpected scientific discovery, and a firework of enlightenment for the reader!

There is a church not too far from us that recently added a $25 million addition to their building. Our local newspaper ran a front-page story not too long ago about a study revealing that one in five people in our city lives in poverty. This is a book about those two numbers. Jesus Wants to save Christians is a book about faith and fear, wealth and war, poverty, power, safety, terror, Bibles, bombs, and homeland insecurity. It's about empty empires and the truth that everybody's a priest. It's about oppression, occupation, and what happens when Christians support, animate and participate in the very things Jesus came to set people free from. It's about what it means to be a part of the church of Jesus in a world where some people fly planes into buildings while others pick up groceries in Hummers.

The descriptions of Nirvana by Jesus Christ surpass those of the Great Buddha Siddharta Gautama by their level of detail on some points, making the Gospel of Thomas a unique document of inestimable value; yet they are formulated so that only someone who has himself experienced Nirvana, may recognize them as such.Since the Gospel of Thomas fortunately has never been incorporated into the biblical canon and thus survived the millennia unchanged, many scholars legitimately see in it the most authentic of all the Gospels, thus a unique testimony to the original teaching of Jesus Christ, and even one of the most important texts on the "Search for the historical Jesus", although the interpretation of many verses is still completely unclear to them!To remove these uncertainties and thereby resurrect both the historical Jesus and his original teachings is the aim of this book.We will therefore, verse by verse, identify the descriptions of Nirvana in the Gospel of Thomas, show their authenticity with the descriptions of Nirvana in Buddhism, and expound the identity of the New Testament term "Kingdom of God" with the central concept of Zen Buddhism "Tathagatagarbha".Tathagata is Buddha Gautama in his spiritual form as God, and Garbha is both Nirvana as the Kingdom of God in the spiritual sky, and Buddha Nature as the originally enlightened nature of mind in all beings. Both have the divine qualities omniscience, omnipresence, purity, bliss and eternity.If one then reads through the Thomas Gospel, other early Christian writings, or the New Testament with this key to understanding, the Buddhist teachings will particularly stand out wherever the term "Kingdom of God" (or "Kingdom of Heaven") appears, and that is very, very often, because it is, after all, the central concept of Christianity.And then, even in the sparse remains of the original teaching of Jesus Christ in the Bible, it will be seen that in authentic Christianity there was once Nirvana and the Buddha nature in man (kingdom of God), the law of karma (seed and harvest), the doctrine of reincarnation (until 543 CE official church doctrine / John 3, 3 and 3, 7), and a Savior (Jesus Christ) who, as Bodhisattva, lived the central idea of Mahayana Buddhism to the fullest possible extent: the takeover of karma of the whole humanity on his shoulders (purifying their sins through his blood), to lead them collectively to salvation (from the wheel of reincarnations) and to eternal fife in the Kingdom of God (Nirvana).Surprisingly, the Church has never made a teaching decision for the concept of the "Kingdom of God" - the authenticity of the teaching of Jesus Christ with authentic Buddhism would have been too obvious. Accordingly, the interpretations of the term in circulation appear helpless, and no one knows exactly what the Kingdom of God actually is, although it should actually have the highest priority for all Christians.From the discovery of the first fragments of the Gospel of Thomas in 1897 to the present day, no one has yet been able to decipher completely the Gospel of Thomas, and so it is a special privilege for me to take on this supreme of all tasks and therewith contribute to the restoration of the original teaching of Jesus Christ.

For more than thirty years I have worked with great patience and meticulousness in perfect understanding of my Nirvana experience, and as this connects Christianity very closely to Buddhism, the discovery of the descriptions of Nirvana in the Gospel of Thomas was absolutely crucial. Nirvana is the liberation of man from the wheel of reincarnation (samsara) through reunification with his spiritual origin.The descriptions of Nirvana by Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Thomas even exceed those of the Great Buddha Siddhartha Gautama through their level of detail and thus make the Gospel of Thomas a unique, fascinating document of inestimable value.Since the Gospel of Thomas fortunately has never been incorporated into the biblical canon and thus survived the millennia untouched, many scholars legitimately see in it the most authentic of all the Gospels, thus a unique testimony to the original teaching of Jesus Christ, and even one of the most important texts on the "Search for the historical Jesus", although the interpretation of many verses is still completely unclear to them!To remove this unclearness and thereby resurrect both the historical Jesus and his original teachings is the aim of this book.We will therefore, verse by verse, identify the descriptions of Nirvana in the Gospel of Thomas, show their authenticity with the descriptions of Nirvana in Buddhism, and expound the identity of the New Testament term "Kingdom of God" with the central concept of Zen Buddhism "Tathagatagarbha".The coherence of the Gospel, which therewith becomes visible for the first time at all, grants it an imperturbable credibility and therewith a special weight among the Gospels.If one then reads through the Thomas Gospel, other early Christian writings, or the New Testament with this key to understanding, the Buddhist teachings will particularly stand out, wherever the term "Kingdom of God" (or "Kingdom of Heaven") appears, and that is very, very often, because it is eventually the central concept of Christianity.Surprisingly, however, the Church has never made a teaching decision for the concept of the "Kingdom of God". Accordingly, the interpretations of the term in circulation appear helpless, and no one knows exactly what the Kingdom of God actually is, although it should actually have the highest priority for all Christians.The Gospel of Thomas testifies the efforts of Jesus Christ to liberate people from this darkness (ignorance) and lead them to enlightenment. Right in the first verse it says: "Whoever finds the interpretation of these words will not taste death." Why is that? Because eliminating ignorance of spiritual reality (Avidya) is the most important prerequisite for attaining the Kingdom of God (Nirvana), and because those who attain Nirvana (paradise) find eternal life there.This is the goal of both authentic Christian and Buddhist teachings.So it's important that every single person gets the key to understanding the gospel of Thomas in his own hands in order to be able to reach the saving Nirvana at all.However, from the discovery of the first fragments of the Gospel of Thomas in 1897 to the present day, no one has yet been able to decipher completely the Gospel of Thomas, and so it is a special honor for me to take on this responsible task and therewith contribute to the restoration of the original teaching of Jesus Christ.
