I agree with you 100% that Jesus was a Buddha, as for Mary & Kuan Yin....I hadn't really thought about that but it's interesting, I must delve into that more, thanks. I had thought about them both being incarnations but still haven't made my mind up yet
Enlightenment seems to have been a teaching very important to each of them, so it's possible they are either incarnations or Jesus studied Buddhism which I find highly likely. Food for thought all of it.
