Many of the eighteen orthodox Puranas mention the Buddha in a less favouring light. They present the birth of the Buddha as a ploy by the Supreme God Vishnu to corrupt asuras and sway them from Vedic teachings. Only by leading them astray with his teachings could the asuras be destroyed. This belief is sometimes associated with the asuras of Tripura (the three citadels) as well as others.[citation needed] Literature from the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, on the other hand, maintains that Krishna took the appearance of an atheistic teacher out of benevolence, in order to trick atheists into worshipping God (i.e., himself).[citation needed]
Islam
The Islamic prophet Dhu al-Kifl has been identified with
The supporters of this theory cite the first verses of the 95th chapter of the Qur'an, Surah At-Tin:
By the fig and the olive, and Mount Sinai, and this secure city of Mecca!
— Qur'an, 95:1-3
It is mentioned in Buddhist sources that Buddha attained enlightenment under the fig tree. So, according to the theory, from the places mentioned in these verses: Sinai is the place where Moses received revelation; Mecca is the place where Muhammad received revelation; and the olive tree is the place where Jesus received revelation. In this case, the remaining fig tree is where Buddha received revelation.[12]
Some[who?] also take it a bit further and state that Muhammad himself was a Buddha, as Buddha means "enlightened one".[citation needed]
Ahmadiyya sect
In fact, a verse in the Qur'an states that God has sent many prophets to thumanity. However, only a few have been named. It is believed by some[who?] that Buddha may (or may not) have been a Prophet of God sent to his people who taught monotheism.
Judaism
The story was translated into Hebrew in the 13th century by Abraham Ibn Chisdai (or Hasdai) as "ben-haMelekh v'haNazir" ("The Prince and the Nazirite").[citation needed]
Sikhism
Buddha is mentioned as the 23rd avatar of Vishnu in the Chaubis Avtar, a composition in Dasam Granth traditionally and historically attributed to Guru Gobind Singh.[17]
Taoism
Some early Chinese Taoist-Buddhists thought the Buddha to be a reincarnation of Laozi.[18]
