i think Lord Buddha was of mongoloid origin. But whatever, he was the greatest philosopher ever. Even though he propounded the Truth more than 2 millenia ago, people of the sub-continent who had the good fortune of having him in their midst did not learn or understand his teachings. That benefit went to the wiser people of China, Japan, Thailand etc. The Great Teacher opened up the mysteries of life of its sorrows and pain and discovered a balm for it. But it was not fantastic enough for our overheated imagination and underdeveloped understanding.

Whoever you are adi, your comment only shows how shallow your own understanding of Hindu Philosophy is. Buddha is a great philosopher who never wanted a seperate religion after him. He only wanted reforms in Hinduism. The so called wise people of China and Japan are anyway strictly non-vegetarian (ignoring Lord Buddha's basic tenets)and Buddhism as propounded by his followers has serious flaws.
I hope the next time you post a message, it will be backed by some serious thinking...
