Quoting:- Posted on 11-12-06 1:21 AM Reply | Notify Admin Buddha is not God ..he is great human being who showed people how to attain nirvana . if your defination of god is some what similar who teaches you correct path then he can be god but he was true person and a person in history, A kind of philosophical leader unlike Jesus or Mohammed who was more politician. Donkey dude wasn't asking if Buddha was God or not.... he was just asking how could he convince these ppl... who claim that he was born in India....... ... but I totally agree with your answer... about Buddha being a god... and, i don't really know if Lumbini was a part of India back then... neither do i know if it was a part of Nepal... .. but, since Lumbini is a part of Nepal now... Buddha was born in "present Nepal"..... .... Buddha was a Desi Dude .. oh yea! :D
