How the G-d of Israel enlightened the Sakya Prince Siddhartha so that the Lost Ten Tribes could have a Messiah in Buddhism
The Lost Israelites were the First Buddhists – Part Two
The Ashokah Pillar called the “Topez of the Sanchi” on the Southern Gateway of the Sanchi Stupa
Equally mysterious in the origins of the Supreme Buddha was the role of the Sacae-Suni that were known as the “Sons of Isaac” upon which the 6th century Royal Lost Israelite Prince heir, Siddhartha Gautama was born as one of their peoples. He was later to become known as the Supreme Buddha, the “Sacae- Muni” or the “Great Hermit”. As written in the Bible Searchers Reflections article titled, “The Israeli-Scythian Migration to Europe” in the subtitled section called, “The Influence of the Sacae-Suni, the Sons of Isaac, upon Buddha and Confucius” we read:
Bible Searchers Reflections – “It was in the research of George Moore M.D. in his book published in 1861 titled, “The Lost Tribes and the Saxons of the East and the West, with new views of Buddhism and Translations of Rock Records in India” that the Scythian/Scuths began first to wander east of the Caspian Sea, along the east-west corridor in which they had full autonomy and control.
Bands of the Scythian-Scuth-Israelites who were called the Saki, Saghs, or Asa of Ariana, began penetrating south into the Kingdoms of Media and Persia and wherever they battled, they won in triumph. For a time, the Israelite-Scythians had possession of Media and Persia and ruled them from their homelands now to the far north and all the way over to the Indian Peninsula.
The Daibutsu at the Asuka dera in Asuka. This is the oldest known sculpture of Prince Siddhartha Gautama as the Supreme Buddha in Japan with an exact known date of manufacture, 609 A.C. The sculpture was made by Kuratsukuri-no-Tori, son of a Korean immigrant.
It was in the year of 623 BCE, according to George Moore, that a child was born in the mountains of Northern India that was named, “Sacae- Muni”, meaning the “Great Hermit”. This was a bright child with mental, moral, and spiritual characteristics far in advance of his local peers. He was soon known to them as Buddha. In reality he was not spiritually theirs, but a “Hidden One” or and “Elect One” of the Lost Israelites in Exile.
Among the peoples of India, Buddha soon won their confidence for his teachings were from ascendant level of spiritual and moral supremacy. For the next forty years, Buddha taught a spiritual life that was based upon the principles of the Sinai Decalogue. He taught pure monotheism in what would eventually be known as Buddhism.
He taught that the Supreme Spiritual Ruler of the Universe was One and that “the future coming of the Lord of the world, who, destroying the serpent, should bring peace, and who should spring from the Sakyan race” of the House of Isaac. Here he was linking Buddha’s expectations with the Hebrew’s expectation, “In Isaac shall thy seed be called!” (Ingersoll on Moore in, “Lost Israel found in the Anglo-Saxon Tribe, Chapter 5”)

The Ashokan Pillar called the “Topez of the Sanchi”
Frederick Haberman confirms the relationship of the Sakyas who as the Sakyas of northern India were the originators of Buddhism. He wrote of a 4th century BCE rock carving, called the “Topez of the Sanchi” near the city of Bhopal, India about the time the Israelite Sanchi (House of Isaac) were invading into the Indian continent.
“Not only is the name of Saki but also the picture itself is of great interest to us. Below we see a Lion and a Unicorn, which are the emblems of the whole house of Israel, the Lion of Judah and the Unicorn, the calf or Engle (Ephraim) of the separated kingdom of Northern Israel. Both figures are still on the British Coat of Arms.
In the center we see the shield of Britannia or the Brits or Covenant race, together with two tridents, the same as that held by Britannia…On one side hangs a double flag with the crosses of St. Andrew and on the other a starry banner.
Of all the ancient stone carvings this is the most striking and of the greatest importance to us, for in it we can see that the original pattern for the Union Jack and the Star Spangled Banner was in the minds of our ancestors twenty three centuries ago and probably before that, not only in Europe but in distant Asia.”

As the Sacae-Suni (sons of Isaac), centuries later were called the Saxons in Europe, they moved to the East and their religious and spiritual influence was felt all the way to the land of the dragon power of China. There rose, during these years, a new spiritual reformer called Confucius who lived almost contemporaneous with Buddha (Sacae-Muni) around the year of 584 BCE. Confucius started a spiritual revolution in China of a purer religion that challenged and changed the corruption, vice, and immorality of the ancient Chinese social way of life.

"Confucius reformed the standards of morality when he taught the Chinese “to treat others according to the treatment which they themselves would desire at their hands, to guard their secret thoughts; that true renown consists in straightforward and honest sincerity, in the love of justice, in the knowledge of mankind, and in humility.” (George Moore, “The Lost Tribes and the Saxons of the East and the West, with new views of Buddhism and Translations of Rock Recorded in India”, cited by Ingersol, “Lost Israel found in the Anglo-Saxon Tribe,
Confucius’ teachings, in a world of paganism appeared to be lifted straight out of the Torah, for “he advocated the ‘law of retaliation’ so prominent in the Mosaic code; and he is called at the present day “the most holy teacher of ancient times.”(Ibid) With the life of Confucius and his descendants and the heir succession in the Chinese culture, Moore wrote:
“Though only a single descendant survived Confucius, the succession has continued through sixty-seven or sixty eight generations (in 1861) to the present day in the very district where their great ancestor was born. Various honors and privileges have always distinguished the family.” (George Moore, “The Lost Tribes and the Saxons of the East and the West, with new views of Buddhism and Translations of Rock Recorded in India”.

The Land of the Shakya Israelites in Nepal at the Foothills of the Himalaya Mountains (the mention of Israelite history in areas as Nepal & northern India reinforces my belief that certain peoples from these countries, that never before were regarded as Israelites: Baltis, Gaddis...)
Today, most scholars are honing into the life and times of the Prince heir, Siddhartha Gautama. We now know and accept that he was the son of the elected chief of the Shakya clan called King Śuddhodana. As we have now seen and will bolster the evidence later, the Shakya tribal clan were later known by the Persian Shah Darius as the Sacae transliterated as the “sons of Isaac”. So they were part of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel that had settled in the region below Himalaya Mountains in India.
This region was later separated by the British Empire, during the Indian Independence in 1951. The two kingdoms split, the “India of the West” called Pakistan inhabited predominately by the Muslim peoples of the Islamic faith, and the “India of the East” called India that was inhabited predominately by the various Hindu castes of the Hindu religious people, and the Buddhist which now appear to have been in large part the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel now living in Tibet, Nepal, and over into Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam.
The Shakya infancy portrayal of Queen Maya giving birth to Gautama Buddha under the Bodhi Tree at Lumbini.
The mother of the Buddha called Prince Siddhartha Gautama was Queen Maha Maya (Māyādevī) a Koliyan princess whose people centuries later as the Kolis of Gujarat mixed with the Rajputs in what was called hypergamous marriages to elevate themselves from a lower social class to a higher social status in the Hindu caste system.
In the ancient days, before the modern era of the British Rajs (Rajputs), the Israelite Koliyan’s sided with the Rajputs, who had now become a martial warrior cult which later the British imperial occupiers used enforce land reform that ended in taking possession of the Lost Israelite’s land of the Koliyan peoples.
Siddhartha Gautama was born as a Kshatriya, the son of King Śuddhodana, “an elected chief of the Israelite Shakya (son of Isaac’s) clan”,whose capital was Kapilavastu. Their family were part of the Kshatriya recognized as the holder of Kshatra, or the rule and authority. The Kshatriya were one of the four varnas or social orders in the Hindu caste ruling system.
According to the Sanskrit, the Kshatriya were part of the elite of the ancient Vedic social culture when its members organized themselves into three classifications: the Brahmin, the Kshatriya, and the Vaishya. Over the centuries the Kshatriya represented the ruling and the military elite, while they were in charge of protecting the social culture by fighting in war and governing in times of peace. As such the Israelite Shakya were truly a part of the ancient ruling elite of the Hindu ancient past in India.
When they lost their august and once-equal standing with the Rajputs the Koliyans also lost their small princedoms in the Patidar community. Today, they are agricultural laborers called tenant cultivators and once again subservient to the higher classes within the greater Indian communities. Yet even they will be eventually known as one of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, when according to the rabbanim of Israel, the Prophet Elijah returns before the era of the messiah begins and will give each one authentication of his own tribal identity.
Prince Siddhartha eventually married his own cousin, Princess Yasodharā, a member of his own Israelite tribe, according to the ancient Torah commandments from the mount called Sinai, for Princess Yasodharā was the daughter of Suppabuddha, the sister to King Śuddhodana. King Śuddhodana’s consorts were Queen Maya and Princess Mahapajapati Gotami, the later Buddha Mundi’s mother and stepmother. King Śuddhodana also had two other children, Princess Sundari Nanda and Prince Nanda, sister and brother of the later Buddha Mundi.
As such they remained a part of the Sakyan tribe that later in part moved on into Northern Europe called Gaul. In the largely unpopulated forested region of Northern Gaul, they were known as the Saxons in Germany. With their merger with the Engel or the Angle tribes (Engel, the Hebrew for heifer that was the tribal banner of the tribe of Ephraim) they later invaded and conquered the eastern portion of the British Isles in the 4th century CE as the Anglo-Saxons.

With the present UNESCO archeological digs at the Maya Devi Temple just completed at Lumbini, most scholars still accept that the royal palace was located in Kapilavastu, the capital of King Śuddhodanain present-day Nepal. This capital and palaces were later annexed by the growing Kingdom of Kosala during the Buddha's lifetime. Gautama was the family name and as we shall see later, Gautama represented the Israelite Tribe of Gad.
To see how tight the genealogies of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel had become enmeshed, the mother of the young Sakyan prince, Queen Maha Maya (Māyādevī) was the wife of King Suddhodana.

At the same time, according to Sanskrit traditions, Prince Suprabuddha, and the Lost Israelite in the Pali traditions, Prince Suppabuddha was the son of Añjana and his sister, Yasodhara, a Koliyan prince. Prince Suppabuddha had two children, Bhaddakaccānā, who became the wife of Prince Siddhartha Gautama whom we know today as Yasodharā) and the second daughter, Devadatta, was from Prince Suppabuddha’s wife Amitā.
Prince Suppabuddha also had two sisters, Princess Māyāand Princess Pajāpatī and a brother, Prince Dandapāni. As the mother of Buddha was Maya, that made Prince Suppabuddha the uncle of the Buddha Mundi called Prince Siddhartha, and as his daughter, Princess Yasodharā was the wife of Prince Siddhartha and as such Prince Suppabuddha became also the father-in-law to the Buddha Mundi.
The Buddhist Monk praying at the Bodhi Tree where Prince Siddhartha was born
According to the “oral traditions of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel” the evening in which Prince Siddhartha was conceived, his mother, Queen Maya had a dream that a white elephant that had six white tusks entered into the right side of her body. Ten months later Prince Siddhartha was born.
According to the Shakya Israelite traditions, ten months later, just before the expected birth, Queen Maya left the royal Palace at Kapilavastu to go to the palace of her father to give birth to her son. Yet, he came prematurely and was born in Lumbini in a garden area beneath a sal tree identified as the Shorea robusta, while her hand was holding the Sal Tree.
According to the local traditions at Lumbini, it was in the year of 563 BCE (today accepted by UNESCO as 623 BCE) that the Buddha was born when his mother was traveling from one state to another. She passed by a pond that was surrounded by flowering sal trees. She first bathed in the cool water, and shortly after that went into premature labor and had only enough time to walk 25 steps to grab a branch of the sal tree for support when Prince Siddhartha, the future Buddha Mundi was born. Today the pond and the huge sal tree (Bodhi Tree) are still there by the Maya Devi Stupa where it was when the infant Israelite Buddha was born.
The Glorious Blooms on the Sal Tree like where the Buddha Mundi was Born
Today the birth date of Buddha is celebrated as a holiday called “Buddha Poornima” in India on a day of a full moon. Just after his birth, within the first seven days, Queen Maya, his mother died.
On the eight day (by no chance this is the Israelite age of circumcision), the famous seer Asitar, came down from his mountain abode and with the child in hand, announced that he would become either a great king (chakravartin) or a renowned holy man. Earlier on the fifth day, King Śuddhodana called a naming ceremony for his new son. Eight Brahmin scholars were invited to read the future of the new heir prince. All eight of them gave the prediction that this babe would either be a great king or a great holy man (sadhu). It was the youngest, Kaundinya (Pali: Kondañña), who unequivocally predicted that Siddhartha would become a Buddha and then went on to become the first arahantother than the Buddha.
With the death of his mother, Queen Maya, Prince Siddhartha was raised by his aunt, Queen Mawa’s sister, Princess Maha Pajapati in one of the three seasonal palaces built for the prince. At the orders of the king, his son was to be shielded from religious teachings and the evidence of human suffering. For the next 13 years, after his 16th birthday, Prince Siddhartha married his cousin, Princess Yasodharā, who together had a son, named Rāhula. But material wealth was not to be the supreme calling of this young Lost Israelite prince.

At the age of 29, Siddhartha left the palace, left his wife, son, family and gave up rights to the throne of the Sakyas to become an ascetic. Interestingly the Buddha Mundi would later become the model for the Roman Catholic Church as they reinvented the life of the Jewish Orthodox Prince of David, known as the Nazarene who was an active family oriented orthodox rabbi and transformed him into a reclusive celibate to become the “christ” of the future monastic Roman Christianity and later modern Protestantism.
As an ascetic, Prince Siddhartha, the future Buddha Mundi went on to shave his head (shaving the head is an ancient Israelite tradition that some Igbos still practice). He had left the life of royalty and in a life of denial he hoped to find the religious pathway to end the suffering of disease and death. By overcoming ageing, sickness and death, it was his highest aim to accomplish this by an ascetic life of deprivation as a medicant. He did receive high levels of spiritual enlightenment, but soon it became evident that this was not the pathway to relieve the suffering of all mankind.
Buddha Mundi then went on to become a student of yoga, and succeeded to be even better than his own masters, so then he went on to try self-mortification with the austere life of deprivation of worldly goods, food, and including self-mutilation of his own body. Living on only a leaf or a nut a day, he one day collapsed in the river and almost drowned. It was then that he began to reconsider his ways.

In essence, what is seen in Buddhism is neither pessimism nor optimism but realism of the human state of life. It neither considers a messiah or a Divine that will help us and lead us through times of chaos into the future called in Judaism as the “World to Come.” At that time the “children of Isaac” (Sacai or Sakya) are destined not to continue living in the Oriental World of Eastern Buddhism and neither are they expected to continue living in the Occidental World of Western Christianity. When they have experienced the “Time of Jacob’s Tribulation” they will become immersed in the synthesis of the Oriental and the Occidental spiritual mindsets of Orthodox Judaism, the repository of the true synthesis of One G-d of Israel.
Only by absolving ourselves of our independence, our arrogance, our “can-do” personality, only then can we claim absolute reliance on the Divine. This is what the Nazarene himself had to do, for he also was human and not the One G-d of Israel, as he himself admitted over and over in his personal testimony of the Gospel of John.
Only then can we begin to comprehend that restoration and redemption of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel go beyond our Western oriented world mindset of “we will overcome.” Yet it appears that there are separate pathways towards the future redemption of the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” as multiple tribes will be returning along multiple pathways as we are restored back into oneness with our tribal brothers and sisters the Jews and the Jewess of the House of Judah.
The Supreme Buddha described this state of being to his five disciples and his larger discipleship much like in the esteemed Orthodox Rabbinic sages do in the Jewish yeshivas throughout the ages and in Israel today. This is where the Jewish student disciples also in moments of meditative states watch with great focus and intent upon their Tzaddik, or rabbinic mentor focusing on a passage of the Torah in the TaNaKh while they watch and pray waiting his message of enlightenment.
The Ashokan Pillar in Lumbini, Nepal
What has been forgotten by both the Jews and Christians is that while most of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel ended up in Europe and the United States, a large remnant remained in India and the Near East, far East & Africa. As such, we all share in the ultimate destiny of the Lost Tribes of Israel, as prophesied by her prophets. They too must someday come into an oneness with the Jews of the House of Judah, together as “two peas in a pod” or as the Prophet Ezekiel wrote, “Two Sticks in One Rod”:
Ezekiel 37:19-20 - “Thus says the Lord God: ‘surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them, with the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be in My hand…I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them.’”
Today, the sages of Judaism and the many of the scholars of Christianity accept that the Lost Tribes of Israel did spread all around the world, from the region of the Caspian Sea to China in the east, and to Europe and the Americas in California to the west. They are hidden by the One G-d of Israel, but soon shall be revealed. One of the premises of this revelation that must put fear in all the satanic forces of evil today, is the sacred law of retaliation or retributive justice. First spoken in the Pentateuch (first five Books of Moses), as we read:
Exodus 21:23 – “If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”
The 7th Century BCE: Scythian Lost Israelite “Deer in Gold”
Yet the Jewish rabbi called “The Nazarene” stated to his disciples:
Matthew 5:38 – “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.”
What this famous rabbi was trying to teach was the fact that, if you practice retributive justice literally on an individual basis, you are seeking to take the providence of G-d and leave it in your hands for revenge. As a Hasid, or one who kept the Laws of Torah, “beyond the letter of the law”, the Nazarene spoke of a standard of righteousness that was above and beyond the “letter of the law”. He understood that treating an evil act with another retributive evil act would become an ongoing cycle for eternity, one Jew for one Palestinian, one Jewish politician for one Palestinian politician, and the cycle goes on.
First we must look within our own hearts and remember that a vengeance based retaliation of “Lex Talionis” breeds a potentially endless cycle of violence, for it was Mahatma Gandhi who remarked”
Mahatma Gandhi – “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.”
What the G-d of Israel wants are spiritually minded, Torah (Laws of God) observing followers that will be “safe to safe” in the “world to come” for the Almighty to redeem and restore. It is hard not to take sides in such an issue, but the G-d of Divine Justice is rooting out evil within Christians, Jews, Islam, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and Confucianism alike, for within these lands most of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel resided.
They infected the “lands of their dwelling” with the concepts, however corrupted, of the Almighty One of Israel. The One G-d of Israel will even take the forces of evil, confound their conspiring plans to destroy Israel, such as the Gog-Magog War, and turn their plans against themselves.
Is this Green –Eyed Girl from Nepal a Lost 10-Israelite?
So today, this green eyed young lady from Nepal is depicting her genetic diversity which is no doubt from bloodlines to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. This is not a racial issue but a “covenanted” issue for the G-d of Israel promised upon honoring His Holy Name that the House of Israel will be redeemed, not just in America, the European nations in Northern Gaul, and the colonies of the British Empire, but they also must include the Islamic Pashtun (I would add Tajiks, Kalashas, Baltis, Kashmiris...) Tribal peoples in Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan plus the tribes of the Sache and Gad, which also included those that migrated as Buddhists all the way to China, the Koreas, and Japan.
When we consider carefully the implication of the genetic roots of the “Enlightened One” called the Supreme Buddha, how can we doubt that the G-d of Israel has been carefully watching over his “chosen ones” throughout the centuries?
The Golden Urn reputed to carry the Relics of Buddha, the Lost Israelite Prince Siddhartha
So the same G-d of Israel gave to the peoples of the Near East in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India a Divine promise for their redemption. Though many of them feel that they are unredeemable and lost forever, the prophetic promises of HaShem, the G-d of Israel is still the same.
Yet it appears that the Divine One gave to the Lost Israelites in the Islamic lands of Afghanistan and Pakistan, plus also the Hindu land of India that a “chosen one” of their own peoples, a “Lost Israelite”, would literally become a “messiah” for their ultimate redemption.
Was Prince Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Illustrious Sache, sent by the G-d of Israel to become their Supreme Buddha and offer them a pathway of restoration, though corrupted, like He sent the Nazarene to later become a messiah to the Christians living in the lands of west? Was it they, who laid the foundation for the redemption of those peoples to someday be restored as one family, Klal Yisrael, in the “world to come” as the Divine One of Israel uncloaks and no longer remains hidden, as He comes to redeem His Chosen People?

Does it mean that the modern Buddhists today will suddenly convert to Judaism? No doubt all of them will when a divine reality occurs to each one of them that they are the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Yet, that reality will not come because of their genetics and genealogies but because the G-d of Israel will begin to uncloak Himself and remove His hiddenness so that the numbed down senses of the Lost Ten Tribes will perceive that He is not far away, but near. He is wooing each of us as in whistling; it’s time to come home to the brotherhood of Klal Yisrael (All 12-Tribed Israel).
It does suggest that they will come and that they will convert in the Age of Messianic Enlightenment to Messianic Judaism in part because they were given “a messiah” that was a Jewish priest in the Temple of Solomon, whose followers or disciples would be called “The Budii.” And it appears that it was so, for by the Divine purpose of the Creator of the Universe, this Jewish “messiah” and one who would follow afterwards called the Sakya Muni and later the Buddha Muni would illuminate their pathway so that at the end of times his memory will be resurrected and will prepare the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel absorbed in Buddhism today to wait also for “The Messiah” called the Maschiach ben Dovid (Messiah son of David)?
When we consider carefully the implications of the ancestral genetic roots of the “Enlightened One” called the Supreme Buddha, we are humbled over how the G-d of Israel is carefully watching over his “chosen ones” even so today. Is there any difference in the G-d of Israel watching over his errant and brazen faced children than a Mother Hen watching over her baby chicks?
Even though the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel were over the ages desecrating and abominating the Holy Name of HaShem, the G-d of Israel, this same G-d promised that he will redeem the Lost Ten Tribes in that day when the Messianic Era of Enlightenment begins.
According to the Prophecy of Rabbi Judah ben Samuel, that day will begin in the Jewish Jubilee year of 5777 (5000 years as the era of Man and 777 the number of G-d) beginning on Rosh Hashanah 2016.
The same G-d of Israel also gave to the Buddhist peoples of the Near East in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India the promise that they too will be redeemed. As the prophets warned so eloquently 2,700 years ago, they will live a life of sackcloth and ashes, and their lives will be spent with their heads shaved and bald as they mourn lamentations for their destiny, as many of them feel that they are unredeemable and lost forever.
Even so, the Divine One gave to the Lost Israelites in the Islamic lands of Afghanistan and Pakistan, plus also the Hindu lands of India and the Buddhist lands of Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Thailand and further on into Japan that a “chosen one of the Israelites”, Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who was known as the Illustrious Sakha was sent by the G-d of Israel for one purpose to become the Supreme Buddha. It was he, as a Sakya (“son of Isaac”) was elected to carry on the messianic mission to prepare the Lost Ten Tribes still trapped in a world of lamentations and grief, but even so, the foundation for their redemption in the “world to come” was already being prepared by the Holy One of Israel.
Today, most scholars are honing into the life and times of the Prince heir, Siddhartha Gautama. We now know and accept that he was the son of the elected chief of the Shakya clan called King Śuddhodana. As we have now seen and will bolster the evidence later, the Shakya tribal clan were later known by the Persian Shah Darius as the Sacae transliterated as the “sons of Isaac”. So they were part of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel that had settled in the region below Himalaya Mountains in India.
This region was later separated by the British Empire, during the Indian Independence in 1951. The two kingdoms split, the “India of the West” called Pakistan inhabited predominately by the Muslim peoples of the Islamic faith, and the “India of the East” called India that was inhabited predominately by the various Hindu castes of the Hindu religious people, and the Buddhist which now appear to have been in large part the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel now living in Tibet, Nepal, and over into Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam.
The Shakya infancy portrayal of Queen Maya giving birth to Gautama Buddha under the Bodhi Tree at Lumbini.
The mother of the Buddha called Prince Siddhartha Gautama was Queen Maha Maya (Māyādevī) a Koliyan princess whose people centuries later as the Kolis of Gujarat mixed with the Rajputs in what was called hypergamous marriages to elevate themselves from a lower social class to a higher social status in the Hindu caste system.
In the ancient days, before the modern era of the British Rajs (Rajputs), the Israelite Koliyan’s sided with the Rajputs, who had now become a martial warrior cult which later the British imperial occupiers used enforce land reform that ended in taking possession of the Lost Israelite’s land of the Koliyan peoples.
Siddhartha Gautama was born as a Kshatriya, the son of King Śuddhodana, “an elected chief of the Israelite Shakya (son of Isaac’s) clan”,whose capital was Kapilavastu. Their family were part of the Kshatriya recognized as the holder of Kshatra, or the rule and authority. The Kshatriya were one of the four varnas or social orders in the Hindu caste ruling system.
According to the Sanskrit, the Kshatriya were part of the elite of the ancient Vedic social culture when its members organized themselves into three classifications: the Brahmin, the Kshatriya, and the Vaishya. Over the centuries the Kshatriya represented the ruling and the military elite, while they were in charge of protecting the social culture by fighting in war and governing in times of peace. As such the Israelite Shakya were truly a part of the ancient ruling elite of the Hindu ancient past in India.
When they lost their august and once-equal standing with the Rajputs the Koliyans also lost their small princedoms in the Patidar community. Today, they are agricultural laborers called tenant cultivators and once again subservient to the higher classes within the greater Indian communities. Yet even they will be eventually known as one of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, when according to the rabbanim of Israel, the Prophet Elijah returns before the era of the messiah begins and will give each one authentication of his own tribal identity.
Prince Siddhartha eventually married his own cousin, Princess Yasodharā, a member of his own Israelite tribe, according to the ancient Torah commandments from the mount called Sinai, for Princess Yasodharā was the daughter of Suppabuddha, the sister to King Śuddhodana. King Śuddhodana’s consorts were Queen Maya and Princess Mahapajapati Gotami, the later Buddha Mundi’s mother and stepmother. King Śuddhodana also had two other children, Princess Sundari Nanda and Prince Nanda, sister and brother of the later Buddha Mundi.
As such they remained a part of the Sakyan tribe that later in part moved on into Northern Europe called Gaul. In the largely unpopulated forested region of Northern Gaul, they were known as the Saxons in Germany. With their merger with the Engel or the Angle tribes (Engel, the Hebrew for heifer that was the tribal banner of the tribe of Ephraim) they later invaded and conquered the eastern portion of the British Isles in the 4th century CE as the Anglo-Saxons.

With the present UNESCO archeological digs at the Maya Devi Temple just completed at Lumbini, most scholars still accept that the royal palace was located in Kapilavastu, the capital of King Śuddhodanain present-day Nepal. This capital and palaces were later annexed by the growing Kingdom of Kosala during the Buddha's lifetime. Gautama was the family name and as we shall see later, Gautama represented the Israelite Tribe of Gad.
To see how tight the genealogies of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel had become enmeshed, the mother of the young Sakyan prince, Queen Maha Maya (Māyādevī) was the wife of King Suddhodana.

At the same time, according to Sanskrit traditions, Prince Suprabuddha, and the Lost Israelite in the Pali traditions, Prince Suppabuddha was the son of Añjana and his sister, Yasodhara, a Koliyan prince. Prince Suppabuddha had two children, Bhaddakaccānā, who became the wife of Prince Siddhartha Gautama whom we know today as Yasodharā) and the second daughter, Devadatta, was from Prince Suppabuddha’s wife Amitā.
Prince Suppabuddha also had two sisters, Princess Māyāand Princess Pajāpatī and a brother, Prince Dandapāni. As the mother of Buddha was Maya, that made Prince Suppabuddha the uncle of the Buddha Mundi called Prince Siddhartha, and as his daughter, Princess Yasodharā was the wife of Prince Siddhartha and as such Prince Suppabuddha became also the father-in-law to the Buddha Mundi.

According to the “oral traditions of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel” the evening in which Prince Siddhartha was conceived, his mother, Queen Maya had a dream that a white elephant that had six white tusks entered into the right side of her body. Ten months later Prince Siddhartha was born.
According to the Shakya Israelite traditions, ten months later, just before the expected birth, Queen Maya left the royal Palace at Kapilavastu to go to the palace of her father to give birth to her son. Yet, he came prematurely and was born in Lumbini in a garden area beneath a sal tree identified as the Shorea robusta, while her hand was holding the Sal Tree.
According to the local traditions at Lumbini, it was in the year of 563 BCE (today accepted by UNESCO as 623 BCE) that the Buddha was born when his mother was traveling from one state to another. She passed by a pond that was surrounded by flowering sal trees. She first bathed in the cool water, and shortly after that went into premature labor and had only enough time to walk 25 steps to grab a branch of the sal tree for support when Prince Siddhartha, the future Buddha Mundi was born. Today the pond and the huge sal tree (Bodhi Tree) are still there by the Maya Devi Stupa where it was when the infant Israelite Buddha was born.

Today the birth date of Buddha is celebrated as a holiday called “Buddha Poornima” in India on a day of a full moon. Just after his birth, within the first seven days, Queen Maya, his mother died.
On the eight day (by no chance this is the Israelite age of circumcision), the famous seer Asitar, came down from his mountain abode and with the child in hand, announced that he would become either a great king (chakravartin) or a renowned holy man. Earlier on the fifth day, King Śuddhodana called a naming ceremony for his new son. Eight Brahmin scholars were invited to read the future of the new heir prince. All eight of them gave the prediction that this babe would either be a great king or a great holy man (sadhu). It was the youngest, Kaundinya (Pali: Kondañña), who unequivocally predicted that Siddhartha would become a Buddha and then went on to become the first arahantother than the Buddha.
With the death of his mother, Queen Maya, Prince Siddhartha was raised by his aunt, Queen Mawa’s sister, Princess Maha Pajapati in one of the three seasonal palaces built for the prince. At the orders of the king, his son was to be shielded from religious teachings and the evidence of human suffering. For the next 13 years, after his 16th birthday, Prince Siddhartha married his cousin, Princess Yasodharā, who together had a son, named Rāhula. But material wealth was not to be the supreme calling of this young Lost Israelite prince.

At the age of 29, Siddhartha left the palace, left his wife, son, family and gave up rights to the throne of the Sakyas to become an ascetic. Interestingly the Buddha Mundi would later become the model for the Roman Catholic Church as they reinvented the life of the Jewish Orthodox Prince of David, known as the Nazarene who was an active family oriented orthodox rabbi and transformed him into a reclusive celibate to become the “christ” of the future monastic Roman Christianity and later modern Protestantism.
As an ascetic, Prince Siddhartha, the future Buddha Mundi went on to shave his head (shaving the head is an ancient Israelite tradition that some Igbos still practice). He had left the life of royalty and in a life of denial he hoped to find the religious pathway to end the suffering of disease and death. By overcoming ageing, sickness and death, it was his highest aim to accomplish this by an ascetic life of deprivation as a medicant. He did receive high levels of spiritual enlightenment, but soon it became evident that this was not the pathway to relieve the suffering of all mankind.
Buddha Mundi then went on to become a student of yoga, and succeeded to be even better than his own masters, so then he went on to try self-mortification with the austere life of deprivation of worldly goods, food, and including self-mutilation of his own body. Living on only a leaf or a nut a day, he one day collapsed in the river and almost drowned. It was then that he began to reconsider his ways.

In essence, what is seen in Buddhism is neither pessimism nor optimism but realism of the human state of life. It neither considers a messiah or a Divine that will help us and lead us through times of chaos into the future called in Judaism as the “World to Come.” At that time the “children of Isaac” (Sacai or Sakya) are destined not to continue living in the Oriental World of Eastern Buddhism and neither are they expected to continue living in the Occidental World of Western Christianity. When they have experienced the “Time of Jacob’s Tribulation” they will become immersed in the synthesis of the Oriental and the Occidental spiritual mindsets of Orthodox Judaism, the repository of the true synthesis of One G-d of Israel.
Only by absolving ourselves of our independence, our arrogance, our “can-do” personality, only then can we claim absolute reliance on the Divine. This is what the Nazarene himself had to do, for he also was human and not the One G-d of Israel, as he himself admitted over and over in his personal testimony of the Gospel of John.
Only then can we begin to comprehend that restoration and redemption of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel go beyond our Western oriented world mindset of “we will overcome.” Yet it appears that there are separate pathways towards the future redemption of the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” as multiple tribes will be returning along multiple pathways as we are restored back into oneness with our tribal brothers and sisters the Jews and the Jewess of the House of Judah.
The Supreme Buddha described this state of being to his five disciples and his larger discipleship much like in the esteemed Orthodox Rabbinic sages do in the Jewish yeshivas throughout the ages and in Israel today. This is where the Jewish student disciples also in moments of meditative states watch with great focus and intent upon their Tzaddik, or rabbinic mentor focusing on a passage of the Torah in the TaNaKh while they watch and pray waiting his message of enlightenment.

What has been forgotten by both the Jews and Christians is that while most of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel ended up in Europe and the United States, a large remnant remained in India and the Near East, far East & Africa. As such, we all share in the ultimate destiny of the Lost Tribes of Israel, as prophesied by her prophets. They too must someday come into an oneness with the Jews of the House of Judah, together as “two peas in a pod” or as the Prophet Ezekiel wrote, “Two Sticks in One Rod”:
Ezekiel 37:19-20 - “Thus says the Lord God: ‘surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them, with the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be in My hand…I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them.’”
Today, the sages of Judaism and the many of the scholars of Christianity accept that the Lost Tribes of Israel did spread all around the world, from the region of the Caspian Sea to China in the east, and to Europe and the Americas in California to the west. They are hidden by the One G-d of Israel, but soon shall be revealed. One of the premises of this revelation that must put fear in all the satanic forces of evil today, is the sacred law of retaliation or retributive justice. First spoken in the Pentateuch (first five Books of Moses), as we read:
Exodus 21:23 – “If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”
The 7th Century BCE: Scythian Lost Israelite “Deer in Gold”
Yet the Jewish rabbi called “The Nazarene” stated to his disciples:
Matthew 5:38 – “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.”
What this famous rabbi was trying to teach was the fact that, if you practice retributive justice literally on an individual basis, you are seeking to take the providence of G-d and leave it in your hands for revenge. As a Hasid, or one who kept the Laws of Torah, “beyond the letter of the law”, the Nazarene spoke of a standard of righteousness that was above and beyond the “letter of the law”. He understood that treating an evil act with another retributive evil act would become an ongoing cycle for eternity, one Jew for one Palestinian, one Jewish politician for one Palestinian politician, and the cycle goes on.
First we must look within our own hearts and remember that a vengeance based retaliation of “Lex Talionis” breeds a potentially endless cycle of violence, for it was Mahatma Gandhi who remarked”
Mahatma Gandhi – “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.”
What the G-d of Israel wants are spiritually minded, Torah (Laws of God) observing followers that will be “safe to safe” in the “world to come” for the Almighty to redeem and restore. It is hard not to take sides in such an issue, but the G-d of Divine Justice is rooting out evil within Christians, Jews, Islam, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and Confucianism alike, for within these lands most of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel resided.
They infected the “lands of their dwelling” with the concepts, however corrupted, of the Almighty One of Israel. The One G-d of Israel will even take the forces of evil, confound their conspiring plans to destroy Israel, such as the Gog-Magog War, and turn their plans against themselves.
Is this Green –Eyed Girl from Nepal a Lost 10-Israelite?
So today, this green eyed young lady from Nepal is depicting her genetic diversity which is no doubt from bloodlines to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. This is not a racial issue but a “covenanted” issue for the G-d of Israel promised upon honoring His Holy Name that the House of Israel will be redeemed, not just in America, the European nations in Northern Gaul, and the colonies of the British Empire, but they also must include the Islamic Pashtun (I would add Tajiks, Kalashas, Baltis, Kashmiris...) Tribal peoples in Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan plus the tribes of the Sache and Gad, which also included those that migrated as Buddhists all the way to China, the Koreas, and Japan.
When we consider carefully the implication of the genetic roots of the “Enlightened One” called the Supreme Buddha, how can we doubt that the G-d of Israel has been carefully watching over his “chosen ones” throughout the centuries?
The Golden Urn reputed to carry the Relics of Buddha, the Lost Israelite Prince Siddhartha
So the same G-d of Israel gave to the peoples of the Near East in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India a Divine promise for their redemption. Though many of them feel that they are unredeemable and lost forever, the prophetic promises of HaShem, the G-d of Israel is still the same.
Yet it appears that the Divine One gave to the Lost Israelites in the Islamic lands of Afghanistan and Pakistan, plus also the Hindu land of India that a “chosen one” of their own peoples, a “Lost Israelite”, would literally become a “messiah” for their ultimate redemption.
Was Prince Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Illustrious Sache, sent by the G-d of Israel to become their Supreme Buddha and offer them a pathway of restoration, though corrupted, like He sent the Nazarene to later become a messiah to the Christians living in the lands of west? Was it they, who laid the foundation for the redemption of those peoples to someday be restored as one family, Klal Yisrael, in the “world to come” as the Divine One of Israel uncloaks and no longer remains hidden, as He comes to redeem His Chosen People?

Does it mean that the modern Buddhists today will suddenly convert to Judaism? No doubt all of them will when a divine reality occurs to each one of them that they are the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Yet, that reality will not come because of their genetics and genealogies but because the G-d of Israel will begin to uncloak Himself and remove His hiddenness so that the numbed down senses of the Lost Ten Tribes will perceive that He is not far away, but near. He is wooing each of us as in whistling; it’s time to come home to the brotherhood of Klal Yisrael (All 12-Tribed Israel).
It does suggest that they will come and that they will convert in the Age of Messianic Enlightenment to Messianic Judaism in part because they were given “a messiah” that was a Jewish priest in the Temple of Solomon, whose followers or disciples would be called “The Budii.” And it appears that it was so, for by the Divine purpose of the Creator of the Universe, this Jewish “messiah” and one who would follow afterwards called the Sakya Muni and later the Buddha Muni would illuminate their pathway so that at the end of times his memory will be resurrected and will prepare the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel absorbed in Buddhism today to wait also for “The Messiah” called the Maschiach ben Dovid (Messiah son of David)?
When we consider carefully the implications of the ancestral genetic roots of the “Enlightened One” called the Supreme Buddha, we are humbled over how the G-d of Israel is carefully watching over his “chosen ones” even so today. Is there any difference in the G-d of Israel watching over his errant and brazen faced children than a Mother Hen watching over her baby chicks?
Even though the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel were over the ages desecrating and abominating the Holy Name of HaShem, the G-d of Israel, this same G-d promised that he will redeem the Lost Ten Tribes in that day when the Messianic Era of Enlightenment begins.
According to the Prophecy of Rabbi Judah ben Samuel, that day will begin in the Jewish Jubilee year of 5777 (5000 years as the era of Man and 777 the number of G-d) beginning on Rosh Hashanah 2016.
The same G-d of Israel also gave to the Buddhist peoples of the Near East in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India the promise that they too will be redeemed. As the prophets warned so eloquently 2,700 years ago, they will live a life of sackcloth and ashes, and their lives will be spent with their heads shaved and bald as they mourn lamentations for their destiny, as many of them feel that they are unredeemable and lost forever.
Even so, the Divine One gave to the Lost Israelites in the Islamic lands of Afghanistan and Pakistan, plus also the Hindu lands of India and the Buddhist lands of Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Thailand and further on into Japan that a “chosen one of the Israelites”, Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who was known as the Illustrious Sakha was sent by the G-d of Israel for one purpose to become the Supreme Buddha. It was he, as a Sakya (“son of Isaac”) was elected to carry on the messianic mission to prepare the Lost Ten Tribes still trapped in a world of lamentations and grief, but even so, the foundation for their redemption in the “world to come” was already being prepared by the Holy One of Israel.
