Then the old Brahman priest asked, “ What will the characteristics of the Holy One be like? The Buddha answered him, “The Holy One who will keep the world in the future will be like this: in the palm of his hands and in the flat of his feet will be the design of a disk, in his side will be a stab wound; and his forehead will have many marks like scars. This Holy One will be the golden boat who will carry you over the cycle of rebirths all the way to the highest heaven (Nirvana). Do not look for salvation on the old way; there is no salvation in it for sure. Quit the old way. And there will be a new spirit like the light of a lightening bug which will come down from the sky above to live in all of your hearts and you will be victorious over all your enemies. Nobody will be able to destroy you. If you die, you will not come back to be born in this world again. You will go to the highest heaven (Nirvana).”

Buddha was correct about the useless of trying to earn merit. It is impossible. The Holy One Buddha said would come has come. About five hundred years later Buddha left this world, the prophecy was fulfilled. When Jesus Christ died on the cross to take away the sins of the world, each hand and foot was pierced with a large nail leaving a disk shape (John 20:20), His side was pierced with a spear (John 19:34); and Hi forehead had many marks on it from the crown of thorns the Romans put on Him (John 19:2)
