Buddha
Both went to their temples at the age of twelve, where they are said to have astonished all with their wisdom. Both supposedly fasted in solitude for a long time: Buddha for forty–seven days and Jesus for forty. Both wandered to a fig tree at the conclusion of their fasts. Both were about the same age when they began their public ministry:
“When he [Buddha] went again to the garden he saw a monk who was calm, tranquil, self–possessed, serene, and dignified. The prince, determined to become such a monk, was led to make the great renunciation. At the time he was twenty–nine years of age… “Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age.” (Luke 3:23). Both were tempted by the “devil” at the beginning of their ministry: To Buddha, he said: “Go not forth to adopt a religious life but return to your kingdom, and in seven days you shall become emperor of the world, riding over the four continents.” To Jesus, he said: “All these [kingdoms of the world] I will give you, if you fall down and worship me” (Matthew 4:9). Buddha answered the “devil”: “Get you away from me.”
Jesus responded: “…begone, Satan!” (Matthew 4:10). Both strove to establish a kingdom of heaven on earth. According to the Somadeva (a Buddhist holy book), a Buddhist ascetic’s eye once offended him, so he plucked it out and cast it away. Jesus said: “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, and throw it away;.” (Matthew 5:29).

All these are fictional people. Yeshua (Jesus) was a well documented person.

There are many similarities here, I feel this could be put down in a lot of cases to these beings/figures having found enlightenment, certainly in a few of the cases. I find it interesting in a lot of ways that when you strip down the message of most world religions you really do come to an eerily similar message that seems to run across all of them. I feel that the core message of these religions IS all the same, though certain people over time have distorted and misinterpreted the original message for personal gains.
I feel in a lot of ways that what these individuals were trying to tell us is that we are them, we can attain a state of being just like theirs if we truly listened to their messages and truly changed our ways of being, as what these individuals were/are/represented WAS a state of being, the christ consciousness state if you will, Nirvana etc. This may be why you find similarities between these people in my opinion, or you could go a bit further and suggest that these individuals were put here and closely monitored in order to remind the human race of its divine and other worldly origins and to further the evolution of our consciousness.....
