Commentary on the Gospel of Thomas in the context of samadhi meditation practice

This is perhaps the first commentary on the Gospel of Thomas in the context of the practice of samadhi/shamatha meditation. Jesus spent his "lost years" – from the age of 14 to 28 – in India, where he was interested in the yoga of Patanjali and the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism, with their common culmination – samadhi meditation. Yoga and Buddhism teach that the ability to perform miracles comes only as a result of achieving superconsciousness/Buddhahood through the practice of samadhi/shamatha. Jesus demonstrated miracles, but references to the practice of meditation were removed from his teaching. This book attempts to demonstrate the presence of descriptions of samadhi meditation in the teaching of Jesus by analyzing the Gospel of Thomas and other Christian texts.
