"but thy disciples fast not?" - What the Buddha Said and What Jesus Said

What the Buddha Said and What Jesus Said

The Buddha said that there were four type of people.

The first type of people are born poor and lowly but do many sinful things and hate holy beggars to fall into the hell after their death.

The second type of people are born poor and lowly but do many righteous things and respect holy beggars to enter the paradise after their death.

The third type of people are born rich and decently but do many sinful things and hate holy beggars to fall into the hell after their death.

The fourth type of people are born rich and decently but do many righteous things and respect holy beggars to enter the paradise after their death.

However, Christ Jesus said that the rich cannot enter Heaven but poor people are accepted by Heaven.


If a man born poor did many sinful things, he would most probably become rich.  If a man born rich did many righteous things, he would most probably become poor.

Righteous things include an act of giving all (or some) of his money to the poor and accumulating wealth in Heaven.

So, I once indicated an equation for conservation of wealth:

One's total wealth =  One's wealth in this world + One's wealth accumulated in Heaven


And when you die, all your wealth in this world vanishes away and you have only wealth accumulated in Heave.  If you have no wealth in Heave, you cannot enter Heaven.

Mar 2:18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
Mar 2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
