but actually it goes back further than that...all the way back to Confucious, and probably long before that as well.

I have often wondered where Jesus went during the 12 or so years he was developing...I think he made a trip East, and learned a great many things, but no one can be sure.

The crux of his teachings are Love, Forgiveness, Empathy, Understanding and a host of things that would help the less fortunate rise above their stations in life.
