Symbolic Ji, I value your sentiment. However, it is very necessary for us to learn few things. First: Buddha is not that important, what really important is his teaching, the Dhamma; as Michael Faraday is not that important but the electricity is. To honor Buddha for his incardable teaching is good but not important. Our society is dying out of sickness and Dhamma is the ultimate medication. Instead of taking medicine we are quarrelling and claiming for the Doctor who discovered it... He was mine .... he was not yours... it seems completely insane to me. Second: Buddha means the enlightened one, the awakened one. Siddhartha got enlightened in India, he got awakened in India. In deeper sense, Buddha was born under the Budhi Tree. Buddha is the personification of wisdom and he got wisdom in India. Person was born in Nepal, which is historic fact and no one can deny it, but the wisdom was born in India, we must accept it. Siddhartha became Buddha because of the Wisdom. Most of the things associated with Buddha are in India. Rajgiri, Saravasti, Kushinara, Sarnath, Bodhgaya, Vaishali are the names that thrill me. Buddha spent most of his life in the place which lies in today's India. India is the refuge for the great Buddhist leader Dalai lam and his followers. There are many real life Buddhist live in India. Arunchal, Sikkim, Asham, Kashmir, Himanchal, Maharastha are the stats where you can find many real traditional Buddhists. India has all right to advertise Buddha. Third: There are many countries in the globe which advertise Buddha to lure the tourists. Thailan, Laus, Cambodia, Vietnam, Shrilanka, Mangolia, China, Japan etc. Most of the tourists vist Myanmar because of Buddha and his teaching. It seems Buddha had never been in Myanmar but he is highly regarded there compare to India and Nepal. Burmise people feel they are quite closer to Buddha and from my objective observation, Buddha is more theirs then ours. Forth: We have very bad tradition of living on ancestor's name. This is the sign of weak mentality. If our ancestors overshde us, it means our society is not evloving in the progressive direction. We want to be identified by the name of 25 century old person. This gauge our postition in the world civilization. I think time is slipping out, we have to wake up.
