Buddha is Prince Siddhartha. He wasn't a god, he (to be blunt) found a way to be rid of the material stuff and end all impermanence. He was teaching the students how to achieve it so that we are free from pain and this material world. Nothing last forever, even if you are rich or poor, intelligent or dumb, fast or slow, etc. A lot of Buddhists thought that believing or praying to Him will help to cleanse their bad doings or debts. The hard truth is that He can't. He is no God, he doesn't take all our sins and ensure you will go to heaven and not hell. See Him as a teacher, like any school subject teacher. He teaches way of life, how to be compassionate and loving, how helping others bring lasting happiness. Nothing to do with race, religion, status or intellilect in this life or next lifetime (if there is). I do not believe in religion. But I like Buddhism way of life. Again, it brought back to my topic on Capitalism, dividing the world into countries, not sharin...
