To the original comment by GRG dai, I respect you Grgdai but I disagree...

"I have read a lot of posting about buddha campaign and after careful consideration I have arrived at this conclusion about the buddha.

1. The person under discussion was born as Siddhartha Gautam in Lumbini, Nepal
2. He gained the knowledge or the Bodhisatva in
Gaya, India

Buddha is a state of being and Siddhartha achieved that state of being in India so essentially the Buddha was indeed born in India.


          Buddha AKA Sidhartha Gautam Was born in Nepal, No doubt.........
 Now Most of us Nepalese here in the US were Born in Nepal...No doubt too, Most of us here Became doctors, Nurse, engineers, bankers, soldiers, computer software designers, teachers, students, workers like cashiers, waiters, sales rep, etc etc... Most of Us also acquired our knowledge in these various fields HERE in the USA......so even though we were born in Nepal .....and we got our work and title of Dr, nurse, soldier, mechanic, waiter, teacher, professor etc here Does that change the fact where we were born??? I dont think so...NO matter where Siddhartha Gautam got his title of Buddha, The physical fact where He was born will always remain in Nepal. Buddha is the Name the world recognize and even though his knowledge was gained in India...He came out of his mothers womb in Nepal.......I think thats what the real debate is not where he gained his knowledge BUT where he was BORN.
