> Here is a story of Buddha, Shiyi and Jesus sharing their moment
> together as brothers.
>
> One sunny day, the Buddha, Sho Shiyi, and Jesus were walking along the
> shore of the Sea of Galilee, they decided to row to the other shore. As
> they reached the middle of the sea, they met with a violent storm.
> Towering waves tossed the boat precariously, followed by mighty winds
> and torrential downpour. Jesus knelt down with prayers: "Oh heavenly
> father, peace be with us!" and the wind and waves suddenly calmed down.
>
> The Buddha and Shiyi turned to Jesus and asked calmly "Why did you do
> that? The weather pattern you have disturbed here, is but merely the
> law of nature manifesting itself, neither good nor bad; it will now
> re-direct itself out furiously elsewhere instead. Oh dear, many lives
> will now be lost and properties/houses damaged in other coastal parts
> of the Sea of Galilee."
>
> Another day the Buddha, Sho Shiyi and Jesus were walking through the
> streets of Yunnan, when a woman came running up with her five children
> in tow. Bursting into tears, she begged Jesus to come with her and
> raise her old father from the dead. Remaining silent, the Buddha and
> Shiyi followed the woman and Jesus to the place where her father's
> corpse was laid. "I command you, rise!" Jesus declared, and the dead
> man rose to hug his daughter and the grand children. The whole family
> knelt down and thanked Jesus profusely. The Buddha and Shiyi turned to
> Jesus and said calmly, "Now the 90-years old resurrected man must go
> through the agony of death the second time, and his family must suffer
> his loss and to grieve all over again."
>
> On another day, the Buddha, Shiyi and Jesus were walking through the
> streets of another city, when Jesus was confronted by a group of
> Pharisees. They debated with Jesus, a crowd started to gather. With the
> help of his heavenly father, Jesus won the public debate while the
> Pharisees went away cursing and swearing. The Buddha and Shiyi remained
> silent. They walked together until they come upon the Temple, whereupon
> Jesus immediately drove out the money-changers with great anger and
> violence. "Well, I have certainly shown them all today what my heavenly
> father desires!" exclaimed Jesus. "Yes, you have" replied the Buddha
> and Shiyi "but your negative words and actions will come back upon you
> one fine day."
>
> One gloomy evening, the Buddha and Shiyi came upon Jesus hanging on a
> cross. "What are you doing up there?" asked the Buddha and Shiyi. "I am
> suffering and dying for the sins of the world" Jesus whispered. The
> Buddha and Shiyi sighed, and calmly told Jesus, "All beings must suffer
> the consequences of their own actions, be they negative or positive.
> This is the Law of Karma and the law of Shaman. Moreover, all compound
> things must die, dear Jesus. This is the Law of the Heaven and Earth
> and the Universe."
>
> Jesus struggled for breath and exclaimed,"Like you two, I shall
> resurrect!"
>
> "Yes, you shall return, many many times more," replied the Buddha and
> Shiyi for men wanted to live forever. They don't want to believe in
> death.
>
> Jesus gasped out his last wish: "When I return, it shall be in wrath,
> for God, my heavenly father shall know what to do with sinful human
> beings."
>
> Again the Buddha and Shiyi nodded his head: "Yes, each time you return,
> it shall be in wrath... dear, as more innocent lives will be put into
> hell for not believing you."
>
> Then the Buddha and Shiyi went into deep nirvanic meditation,
> contemplating not to return.
