Behoove me ji,
I'm a huge fan of yours. We all know your presence here is a delight and your fictional writing is always a fun to read. No doubt, you are very popular. I'm writing this to you and you alone to see your non-fictional real world analysis.
Let me start
This is NOT about the message but about the messanger. It's not about religion and teachings, it is about a historical fact. By reading your comment above and re-reading it again (unless I don't get your supreme way of writings), you are simply stating how bad of a buddhist we are, if I'm correct. Yes, I agree we have lost many (most, to be honest) of his teachings. But there is a time and place for such discussion. It's just a religion and cannot be exercised completly authentic in this modern day, no religions can be practised in its purity that were written thousands of years ago. It is impossible. Buddhism dictated "non-attachment" of physical things to live a thruthful and simple life. Can we do it in this modern time? That's just one, I can dig into infinty of how we do not follow Buddha's teachings. But that does not change the fact Buddha was born in Lumbini, Jesus in Jerusalem, Mohammed in Mecca.
While Nepali overseas are changing, and their hatred towards Indians are diminishing, it is impossible for Nepali in Nepal to do that for various reasons that are beyond this discussion. Only when you don't have to live with the person next door, then you start apprecating their presence and void at the same time. It is easy when you are in America, Europe and Australia to say "Why do you hate Indians?" and become offended and angry. And I hope you're mature enough to know that every neighbouring countries in this world hate each other in certain context, not just Nepal and India. It is universal, nothing to do with Buddha's teaching.
Regarding those people who are holding banners, they do not have to be Budda's disciples to make their point. They are not there to prove their religion and how pure of a Buddhist they are, but are there to claim the historical fact that belongs to them. Remember the sign says "Buddha was born in Nepal" and NOT "I'm a pure Buddhist"
If you can point out why we should not give a damn about the historical truth that Buddha was born in Nepal, and not drag our moral values into the discussion, I'll appreciate your response.
Pardon my bad writing. Thanks
