sorry--spellchecked, but a few errors, missed words escaped.

One of the first things the Buddha taught after he "awakened" and then achieved liberation (which means the wish/vow to free all beings from suffering and delusion, and not to leave one 'left behind')
was
"all beings live by nutriment." All. We know this to be true. What kind of nutriment? That's the real study.
Jesus taught that we should be more concerned with what comes out of our mouths than what goes in. Where Jesus and Buddha would be as one is that what comes out is another form of what we feed ourselves. A big Aha, there. That's the great mystery that the world doesn't really want people to grasp.
