Who the freak Cares what happened 2500 yrs ago, Our Identity has come down to this  ohh Nepal, the 'Birthplace of Buddha ' and 'The Land Of Mt.Everest', Which by the Way 1/2 the world doesn't know where it is ... I would trade those two anyday if it Got Us PEACE and Economic Prosperity TODAY.... Try Fixing what is wrong today ... Ok lets say Everybody agreed Buddha was physically Born in Lumbini, Which the UN has already agrred and Declared Lumbini and World Hertitage Site, So Issue resolved ,Would that make evrything thats wrong today all OK again,NO !! Man Everyone is stuck in these useless Emotional Rumors and Drama ,No wonder we are one of the most poor and Underdeveloped Countries in the world , well and will remain if this is all we can discuss and care about.... What all this Hupla about one PBS documentary Which By the Way no One in the forum has seen ...Common people

While searching for something i found this thread. I think it was last year, I had a clip on youtube from a movie. But comments on the clip really went into different direction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... But I agree with you guys we may destroy ourself to prove that buddha was born in Nepal.

According to History they say that he was born 2500 year ago that what we learn In Nepal they teach he was born in Lumbini in Shakya Dynesty according to our text book In India may be they tought that he was born in India somewhere So rather than arguing about this point why not all follow the Budda principal and just leave in Harmony and stop hatretism for the people who falsify information Intelligent people who have insight in Buddism have already found and proved he was born in Nepal. So I don't think we need discussion to prove where he was born.Any I don't think this thread will be read by Indians or people who wrote or claim his birth somewhere Also there are enough people who believe Obama was not born in US but President but finally those remarks are just sacrist Just a thought my 2cents

Indians have been successful in giving all Nepalese a full time job of arguing where Buddha was born. British gave Indians and Pakistanis a full time job to fight with each other when they left British India. All you need is a little bit of common sense. Last edited: 15-Mar-11 06:28 PM

if buddha was living today, he would have killed himself out of disgust on seeing the indians n nepalese fighting over his birthplace and why r nepalese so concerned about his birthplace rather than philosophy ? the way ppl are getting killed and killing , it doesnot seem like buddha was born there ........

T-Shirt Mount Everest is in Nepal Not in China or India T-SHIRT: Lord Buddha was born in Nepal not in India

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.

Was there a Nation called Nepal or India when Buddha was born? I think it is safe to say that Siddhartha Gautam was born in Lumbini, not even sure if that was what it was called back when he was born, which is now a part of Nepal. Buddha is neither Nepali nor Indian.

AAyo aarko Over jaanne twake.........WHERE IS LUMBINI NOW???? NEPAL?????..........yes he was born in Lumbini, has anyone denied that fact, wether Lumbini was Nepal or not in that ERA.......IT IS NOW, so HE was born in LUMBINI NEPAL....kasto bango logic khelako yo chaurey le...who said he wasnt born in LUMBINI????

terobaaje · Mar 18, 2011 12:07 PM

ok, go back and re-read the comment, there is no denying that we all agree he was born in Lumbini (which is now in Nepal), but does that give us the right to say that he was born in Nepal when the fact is there was no known nation of Nepal at that time per my understanding? i disagree on that account. rest is up to your understanding. Hypothetical example: If Nepal becomes a part of India or China tomorrow, will your children/grandchildren say that their grandfather is Indian or Chinese? if they do then that would be wrong.
