    Far-Eastern traditions were utilized too. The Roman empire was well aware of the teachings and myths of Buddhism. Buddha images in classic Greek style were made in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the first century a.d. Buddhist ideas like the “footprints of Buddha” appeared among Christians. Bishop Sulpicius of Jerusalem reported that, as in India, “In the dust where Christ trod the marks of His step can still be seen, and the earth still bears the print of His feet.” Buddhist metaphors and phrasing also appeared in the Gospels. Jesus’s formula, “Dearly Beloved,” was the conventional way for Tantric deities to address their teachings to Devi, their Goddess.
