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.

that still doesn't change his place of birth...he was born in Nepal and enlightned in India. we don't have problems accepting his enlightnment in India but his physical birth was in Nepal.

Siddhartha was born in Nepal but the knowledge was born in India and if I am not mistaken, the knowledge is the buddha

here we go with this bull shit again with this  chicken or the egg talk...round n round n round we goo...i can't wait until the hardcore fanatics get involved... them fools make my day ...seriously!

grgdai ...can u  explain me about the ashoka pillar which is in lumibini where ashoka clrealy has wrtiiten that buddha was born in lumbini gau ...no body can dispute that . which is the strong proof we have that buddha was born in Nepal ( Lumbini gau )

We must be violent ...Buddha is nepali...peace is not gonna make Buddha nepali ...india will take him away from us...arm yerself, lift your weapons and fight india for Buddha!! "laato ke bhut batto se nahi maante re" ...we will kill each n every indian culprit who's behind this propoganda...they are pulling buddha by the arm and changing his nationality...if not dragging him to india they are encroaching the border and are going to make lumbini a part of india pretty soon...brothers and sisters lift your weapons and fight back..."BUDDHA IS OURS"

Cylegend, who the hell are you? You are an ignorant piece of .........!

I know i am gonna draw flak for this,but the irony never ceases to amaze me.

As a people,we are one of the most violent(ergo the situation in  nepal) and one of the most uncivilized(i know,i'm a nepali too)!Yet anytime the buddha,who was the epitome of peace, is mentioned we do not hesitate to jump the gun in claiming him as our own!I'm not saying that is wrong,just that maybe we need to do a bit of introspection as a people.MY two cents.

tamagkhola u fkin moron ...who u callin shit?? we need to fight violently for what NEPAL owns!! we OWN BUDDHA u beeyatch dont u see! India is encroaching NEPALI GOD!! open your eyes moron!

Solution # 2: let us all close down india nepal border to show india who is the BOSS...surely that should teach them a lesson...locking down the border on nepal side will show india that we will not let them TAKE BUDDHA from us...we will close the border but not let BUDDHA go to india, we shall lock Buddha within Nepal..lets see how they can take our BUDDHA away from us..YAAYYY!!

cylegend you are not in nepal are you thats why you are talking all this crap.

 

was that a question or a statement fata keta?? btw i still do not understand the point of all this, i always thought the international community had already recognized lumbini as the birthplace of Buddha. doh!

Cylegends a funny guy, n hopefully a smart one.

ez soulless

good reason  gurung bro

grgDai, if your name is Dambar Bahadur Gurung and you turn it as David because you studied MBA in USA....does that mean David (you) were born in USA? Come one man...use a sample common sense....

wah wah wah watta logic .....so Siddhartha Gautam changed his name to Buddha gautam while he attained nirvana in INDIA?? doh!

Truth will always win .Its just matter of time.. People around the world is no as stupid as we might think. So, don't make yourself a dambooo...

Sure knowledge is Buddha.so indianshould say he got knowledge in India and not claim the physical birth which is a total lie.India is not claming the knowledge but the birth.why don't Indians Just accept the fact.

In the current situation Nepal can't survive without India and that is the truth. The only hope of Nepal to be independent of India is to be self sustained and we can't do that unless we develop our infrastructures as well as education. I understand we have to reserve to mainly three emblems: Mt. Everest, Buddha, and Gorkhali for a layman who doesn't know about our country however if we are after our own autonomy, in the most liberal sense, we can't do it unless we are self sustained. So folks lets not resort to violence that would be hypocritical. However, try to think tactfully.
Jai Nepal!!

Back when Buddha(Siddhartha) was born, Nepal was a state in the North of Bharatvarsha, there was no "India" only "Bharatvarsha" a huge chunk of land from the foothills of the himalays to the Eastern Iranian deserts and everything south of that, so technically Nepal was arguably not a country like it is today.

I love Nepal, but I don't agree that quarreling over Buddha's birthplace is prudent because 2500 years ago, things were different, whatever the case may be, Buddha wanted to teach non-violence and I do not think he would be happy if we resort to violence just to get a controversial point accross to a mass of people who really are not going to change their veiwpoints regardless.

If we are concerned about it so much, maybe we should do extensive research and find out the exact territory of what Nepal and the modern day "India" was 2500 years ago, honestly that looks impossible to to me and even if we make it possible somehow, what good would it do to the present state of Nepal? So let's just agree to disagree and stop breaking out heads over fruitless arguments.

 

Jai Nepal
