Pisces: My point is very clear. I am sure we will wake up from this before India takes another advantage again. Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal and the fact is there. So lets go and tell the world that Nepal is the destination for Land of Buddha. Lets make this official and spread the campaign just like India does. Will govt or any official do that? Now they wont. 'Cause those at the top are not Buddhist and it is not in their interest to promote it which harms their ego. If we are so proud of Lumbini then lets maximize the value of Lumbini. But nobody will since official only promote so called Hindu Rastra Nepal. There is so much ego. I dont feel like discussing this, but it is the fact. Buddhist all over Nepal has to face bureaucratic hassel. BECAUSE INDIA KNOWS THIS WEAKNESS IN GOV'T, THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS ALL THE TIME. All we do is just show our ego. Has gov't said anything to India. The only way to tell India to back off from statement like this is to promote Lumbini. Unfortunately, that is just a dream. But Lumbini is great since this is a begging bowl for govt. Guess who is running Lumbini Development Fund and what have they done there. Nothing..Isn't that a shame???
