Description

Da Do Wha was bestowed a vision of the missing years of Jesus from age fifteen to thirty. His journey to a mountain temple in India showed his love and compassion for mankind. At the mountain temple, Jesus attained enlightenment. Upon return to his homeland, he preached and taught the love of God, the redemption of sins, forgiveness, and the love of God through love of others. Gyoh also attained enlightenment. He meditated, walked, and shared thoughts with Jesus over the years. He kept the teachings of Buddha alive. Gyoh walked along Jesuss side through his passion. Jesuss mother Mary spent her life after Jesuss ascension giving devotion in the new religion, Christianity, giving compassion and love to all. She, too, was raised up at her death to everlasting joy and glory in heaven.

My deepest gratitude goes to St. Mary of the Assumption for helping my passionate devotion to Jesus and our Blessed Mother Mary; to Bulkwang Zen Center for meditation classes and ceremonies; to Dr. Stephen Shapiro for encouraging me to write; to Dae Soeng Sunim for his dharma lessons and mentoring; to Dr. Mary Jo Sabo and Prof. Ann Durkin for their professional help and spiritual guidance; to Donald for his patient support and love; to my family, Greg, Paul, Bryan, Jennifer, and Janet for their encouragement and support; and to my beloved grandchildren, Heather, Grace, Luke, and Abby for inspiring me with their innocent, unconditional love.

As I meditated day after day and contemplated my purpose in life and my place in the universe, I began to concentrate on my love for Jesus and his mother, Mary. The more I contemplated my relationship with them, the closer I felt to their unending love. I began asking Jesus each evening after praying the rosary, “Where were you during those ‘missing years’ between about fifteen and thirty years of age? Show me so I can know you better and love you more devoutly.”
After quite a bit of contemplation, on a particularly special day of prayer and contemplation, a vision appeared to me as follows:
Jesus showed me his childhood, going to the temple once a week. First he went with Joseph, and they sat quietly and listened to the rabbis read from the Scriptures. They discussed the role of their ancestors and the roles they needed to play themselves. Later, Jesus went to temple alone and was allowed to sit with the rabbis as they prayed and discussed concerning matters of the day.
As written by apostles, Jesus appeared at temple at the age of about twelve or thirteen. The rabbis (priests of the temple) welcomed Jesus as usual, and on that particular day, they told Jesus to wrap a prayer shawl around himself and enter the front of the temple. He was to choose a reading from the Scriptures and recite it to the rabbis. A rabbi told him, “This, if done well, will introduce you to manhood, where you will be responsible for your actions and behavior like the rest of us.”
Jesus chose a story about the Israelites on their journey to the Promised Land after being freed from slavery. They were traveling for a long time and were running out of food. Afraid they would starve, they lamented to Moses, “We praise God for our freedom from slavery, but we are hungry. How can we go any farther with no nourishment?”
Moses wanted to continue on, but he understood their frustration. He called upon God for help. He told God that his people were hungry and scared that they wouldn’t make it to the Promised Land. God heard Moses’s plea and filled the people’s baskets with enough bread to get them through the day. The people gave thanks to God and filled their bellies.
Shortly thereafter, they began lamenting once again. “How will we eat tomorrow? Must we grow hungry again? How long until we reach the Promised Land? Will God provide us food again tomorrow?”
They asked these questions while still full from the day’s food.
Jesus closed the book and asked the rabbis, “Was God teaching the Israelites then? Was he showing them that they should be grateful for the day’s food and not worry about tomorrow? Was God teaching them to be happy that they were no longer in slavery and to remember what they endured but not to live in the past?”
The rabbis were very impressed with Jesus’s insight and congratulated him on entering manhood.
When Joseph and Mary arrived at the temple to see him returning to a seat in the inner circle, their hearts jumped with joy. The rabbis asked Joseph and Mary to come closer. After they did, an elder rabbi said, “Jesus is a bright, inquisitive young man. We would like him to join us each week, if you are able to bring him.”
Mary told them that she came to market each week to get wheat, dates, figs, and grapes for her family. She told them that Jesus could come along and stay at the temple while she was at the market and that Joseph would come to bring them home just before nightfall.
Mary asked Jesus if he would like to go to the temple each week. Jesus replied that being in his Father’s house was an honor, and he would come every week. All were pleased.
For the next few years, Joseph brought Mary to the market and Jesus to the temple once a week. When Mary didn’t have enough money to purchase goods, she brought linens that she had made and bartered with marketers, trading cloth for wheat, dates, figs, and grapes. When she was finished at the market, Mary sat comfortably against a wall as she waited for Joseph. Then they both would go to the temple and call upon Jesus to come home with them.
The family continued this ritual until Jesus was about fifteen years old.
On an ordinary morning, as the holy family arose to begin the day, Jesus came to Mary and Joseph and told them that he had learned as much as he needed from the rabbis. He announced that his heavenly Father was commanding him to travel to the mountains that they could see far in the distance. He didn’t know why he had to go there, but he had to go.
Mary and Joseph nodded their heads and said they wished him well.
Mary prepared bread, figs, dates, and grapes and placed them in a satchel, along with a container of fresh water. Joseph gave Jesus a staff to carry, stating that there might be rough terrain ahead, and the staff would help his climb. Mary told Jesus to stop at villages along the way to get fresh water from wells in the center of each village.
