Mark's Methodism
It occurs to me that the Gospel written by Mark was Mark’s method of propagating a Jewish-Buddhist enlightenment. Mark himself was probably either a Buddhist Therapeut sent out from post-Ashoka India and enlightened by Jewish mysticism, or a Jewish Therapeut enlightened by the teachings and methods of Buddhism. Or something like that. Anyway, there is pretty clearly a reconciliation between the two in the Gospel of Mark. His intent is the enlightenment of his readers from this world of death to that world of Life.
