According to the history of Prince Siddhartha or the Buddha... and Jesus Christ is mentioned something similar is
1. Asceticism with self torture before achieving the nirvana of Prince Siddhartha in Buddhism....and Jesus Christ was tortured by crucified and wore crown of thorns before new born
2. Buddha eat food that has been the last meal before death, which is poisonous food...as well as the holly grail that Jesus drinks for once last
Is it possible that the builder is telling us through the history of Buddha and Jesus Christ?....Achieve the goal with the ultimate torture and having a strong faith (although it's very painful) is the navigation light in order to meet the builder
