Happy New Year 2566!!!!!!!
This is the years from Buddha, celebrated in Thailand. There is plenty of evidence Buddha existed. Not like the wannabe from 2023 years ago.

They both existed you misguided lot.

Why does man elevate a man of royal birth who abandons his family and societal responsibilities, goes slumming in the countryside existing by begging and, collecting peasant truisms which he trades for food, gets elevated to god status?.
Noted he was a real person and as far as we can tell, relatively truthful and did popularise the practise of meditation, but a god? I think not!

I worked in India and in one of his first sermons, Buddha supposedly said "Fuck off the caste system!" That makes him alright in my books.
Buddha never claimed to be a deity, just an "enlightened one". Lived in Thailand many years, and agree with all the ritual etc Buddhism there is like a mafia aka organised religion, which the namesake would not be overly impressed with I don't think.

I do find it amusing that the "civilized world" only has records back 2023 years, whereas heathen civilizations go back much longer. East Vs West.

@puff I find it amazing that our aboriginal dreamtime goes back hundreds of thousands of years, yet western records only go back to 25,000 years for their culture, and would like to paint the picture that they did not exist before 1770

@Kurtn Good olde Terra Nullius. No people here, just wildlife.
