WHERE WAS BUDDHA BORN?
Siddhartha Gautama was born in Lumbini, Nepal.
Unfortunately I did not know this fact. I was under the impression that Buddha was born in Gaya, India. I visited that place and stayed there quite a while. It was for the purposes of travel and learning. I personally have no attachment to any religion. They all seem equally good if practiced calmly and quietly while discarding the extremist notions.
What pisses me off is that nowhere in Gaya will you see any mention of Buddha's birthplace. The pretense of Buddha being an Indian is falsely spread and naive travellers like me get sucked in.
Do you reasearch folks before you venture.
O-kay thoroughly confused. (its a state I like), Not from India, but I never heard of Indian Monks anyway, Not from Tibet, but I did hear about Tibetan monks, and I don't think I have ever heard of Monks from Nepal, but that's okay, I'm sure the Dalai Lama does not mind that no one knows where he was born, as long as we are here we are born of the Earth, we share her land, her water, and her air, we are all brothers and sisters under the sun to the Dalai Lama. (just a note, I did know he was from Nepal) Buddhism like any other religion comes in many flavors.
I like your feelings about one people but if one of those one people of India were to have ever mentioned the damn freaking fact that I was in the wrong place, it would have been helpful. I am with you one that one world one people minus a few cheating Indians
That have a large temple in Gaya where Indians claim he was born. They have the fake foot prints under the tree where he supposedly sat.
Humm sounds like they learned a lot from dumb americans.LoL. Washington slept here type establishments, only it wasn't THE Washington. Not a total lie but not the expected total truth.
Interesting read!
Good
