    About this ebook

    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.

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.
