Known also as "The Gospel of the Perfect Life" - Translated from the original Aramaic and edited by a disciple of the Master. This is one of the most ancient & complete of early Christian fragments, preserved in one of the Monasteries of the Buddhist monks in Tibet, where it was hidden by some of the essene community for safety from the hands of corrupters and now for the first time translated from the Aramaic. The contents clearly show it to be an early Essenian writing. This ancient community of the Jewish Church called Yessenes, Iessenes, Nazarites, or Nazirs, strongly resembled the Therapeutae, and the Buddhists, who practiced community of goods, daily abulutions, daily worship, and renounced flesh eating, and strong drink and the sacrifice of animals, and the doctrine of ‘atonement’ for the sins of some by the vicarious and involuntary suffering of others, as held by the Pharisees and Saducees.
