Dharmic Faiths / Hinduism ( Archived) (22)

Myself I'm not trying make arguments because the few times that I visited India I didn't study Hinduism or Buddhism. Later I made extensive Buddhist studies here in Australia, studied both Lam Rim and introduction to Tantra.
The point i tried to make was that Buddhism dates back over billion years, long long time, and that Hindu teaching (I think) developed after the Persians invaded India, the latter killed all the Buddhist Teachers, Monks and Nuns. However Buddhism had also spread further south, to what today called Indonesia. Later Indonesia was invaded by Arabs and Islam killed all the Buddhist. However also in Indonesia Hinduism flourished.
When I first visited Bali the were next to no Muslim, second time i visited, lots of ladies of the night from Jataka had invaded Bali. Now mostly the residence in Bali are Muslim. I think so.
Doctor Google please produce temple spelling, oh yes Borobudur, also transcribed Barabudur is a 7th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Magelang Regency, not far from the town of Muntilan, in Central Java...
The world's largest Buddhist temple is located in the old-world of Indonesia's central Java. Called the Borobudur, it is a ninth-century Mahanaya Buddhist temple, high up in the hills. It was restored with the help of UNESCO in the 1970s, and is a sight that is much sought after by pilgrims and adventurers alike.
Muslim have previously blown Borobudur up and has been partly rebuilt, yes i visited there,
look picture this page : -


So I am not trying to make argument rather i am to make the point Buddhism preceded Hinduism.

Buddhist do accept the notion of a one creator, they don't accept that notion.
And Shakyamuni Buddha the third Buddha known to have physically appeared I understand was born noble Sultan family southern Nepal Sultan. Then one day Buddha noticed sick and poor people so according to Buddhist texts, the Buddha meditated without moving from his seat for seven weeks (49 days) under the Bodhi tree etc etc
