Hi! I have been really bugged about Jesus's lost years. And then something grabbed me from off the net, while not even researching this area! Was doing research on the vision of the 4 winds and in rhema was led to the sutras, vedas and tantric texts. Here is where the journey led me....where it leads to, sitill don't know, but it's been interesting all the same! (ps, handicapped here,so lots of time on my hands!LOL.)
I had found that they had writings from a Teacher named Isa. To the arab and tibetan buddhists, Isa means Jesus. Also in dreamsand visions I was seeing man named Isa as well. Anyways, this one man gives an possible historical account. I also found pieces of the gospel within the sutras btw! It kinda floored me. One being the 'sutra of the mustard seed' yetthere are others as well. I do know that Jesus is known among the native americans (half breed here) and he is known as the Great PeaceMaker, the Pale Prophet and Pahanna.
So here is the site I had found,discern wisely and may the Spirit of God be your guide.
reluctant-messenger.com/issa.htmThe Lost Years of Jesus: The Life of Saint Issa
Translation by Notovitch
The Best of the Sons of Men
# Ancient scrolls reveal that Jesus spent seventeen years in India and Tibet
# From age thirteen to age twenty-nine, he was both a student and teacher of Buddhist and Hindu holy men
# The story of his journey from Jerusalem to Benares was recorded by Brahman historians
# Today they still know him and love him as St. Issa. Their 'buddha' (buddah means Teacher-CW)
Notovitch In 1894 Nicolas Notovitch published a book called The Unknown Life of Christ. He was a Russian doctor who journeyed extensively throughout Afghanistan, India, and Tibet. Notovitch journeyed through the lovely passes of Bolan, over the Punjab, down into the arid rocky land of Ladak, and into the majestic Vale of Kashmir of the Himalayas. During one of his jouneys he was visiting Leh, the capital of Ladak, near where the buddhist convent Himis is. He had an accident that resulted in his leg being broken. This gave him the unscheduled opportunity to stay awhile at the Himis convent.
Notovitch learned, while he was there, that there existed ancient records of the life of Jesus Christ. In the course of his visit at the great convent, he located a Tibetan translation of the legend and carefully noted in his carnet de voyage over two hundred verses from the curious document known as "The Life of St. Issa."

www.wovoca.com/he-walked-the-americas/- The legends that follow are the legends of the Healer. These legends were told by the fireside of a "saintly white teacher," who performed miracles with healing and control over the winds, waters, and other natural items. All describe his eyes as grey-green like the ocean and told stories of the future. His symbol has been woven into blankets, carved on canyon walls, put on pottery and danced in dances. His name has been given to mountains and rivers.
Though the stories are many and spread throughout the Americas, they are broken into bits and pieces, hard to follow and piece together into one tale. His name varied, most names were reflective of his control over the wind and water, as he would request each tribe to name Him as they wished, stating there was no value to a name.
The information I give here is just to let you see the legends for yourself. To determine within yourself if this prophet was actually Jesus, or some other. Is there where Jesus was going when He talked about going to other sheep? He stated in John 10:16 (NIV) to his disciples, "I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd."
