Truth Triumphant - Benjamin G. Wilkinson

the fifteenth day of the seventh month should be
noted as being the precise date of the Biblical Feast
of Tabernacles.[50] In this Buddha probably
followed Zoroaster.[51] Later striking evidences
will be given of how Buddhismn subsequently
saved itself from world rejection by counterfeiting
the history and doctrines of Christ.[52]
The relation of Buddha to the seventh-day
Sabbath is expressed by Arthur Lloyd in these
words:
To us it will seem easy to conjecture the quarter
from which he got his idea of a weekly Sabbath,
and the fact that the Order of Monks kept their
Sabbath days for many centuries after the nirvana
will make it easier for us to recognize and admit
the doctrine held by a large section of northern
Buddhists that Buddha also taught, personally and
during his earthly life, the salvation worked out for
many by another Buddha, who is boundless in life,
light, and compassion, and whom Japan knows as
Amitabha.[53]
