Right. That makes sense to me. But then those texts seem to disagree radically on certain points with Bahai teachings. If the Buddhist scriptures substantially represent what the Buddha taught and the Buddha was a Manifestation but his teachings disagree with the Bahai faith then there is a real problem. I guess Bahais either have to reinterpret the Buddhist teachings in a radically different way from the way Buddhists do. Or Bahais have to reject at least certain aspects of the Buddhist scriptures.
