Jesus and the Buddha #35

The devil said to Him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread."
Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone'."
Then the devil led Him up and showed Him in an instant all of the kingdoms of the world. And the devil said to Him, "To you I will give their glory and all authority: for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours."
Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him.' "

Luke 4: 3-8



Then Mara the evil one drew near to him and said, "Let the Exalted One exercise governance, let the Blessed One rule."
"Now what, O evil one, do you have in view, that you speak this way to me?"
"If the Exalted One were to wish the Himalayas, king of the mountains, to be gold, he might determine it to be so, and the mountains would become a mass of gold."
The Exalted One responded, "Were the mountains all of shimmering gold, it would still not be enough for one man's wants. He that has seen suffering--how should that man succumb to desires?"
Then Mara the evil one thought, "The Exalted One knows me! The Blessed One knows me!" And sad and sorrowful he vanished then and there.
