I quite adore both Jesus and Buddha, although if I’m wanting to do some reading I usually reach for Buddhist books because it is easier to understand and retain.

Perennialists believe that one should teach the things that one deems to be of everlasting importance to all people everywhere. They believe that the most important topics develop a person. Since details of fact change constantly, these cannot be the most important. Therefore, one should teach principles, not facts.

Educational perennialism: the notion that one should primarily teach principles deemed to be of everlasting importance, rather than the constantly changing vocational or technical, to develop a student as a person able to apply reasoning rather than merely regurgitate facts.

So apparently I'm a perennialist.
