One white guy at LA Airport has converted to Hinduism and tried to convert me to Hinduism - I found that a tad hilarious.

It's true for all Abrahamic religions ....
Hinduism doesn't have a concept of conversion.However I've heard of fringe groups like ISKON trying to do the same. Any thoughts?
Jesus might have travelled to India and Tibet during his formative years sometime between the age of 12 and 30.
It is said that this is where he learnt values such as pacifism, non-violence, tolerance and understanding.
I don't think Tibet at the time had buddhism, or any other comparable religion. They were still into shamanism and folk religions.
Agree... there is a lot to be admired in Buddhism. I don't believe in reincarnation, but the concept of Karma is very appealing, and in a way, is a form of judgement, although not in the Abrahamic sense.
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism..
