The true origin of Buddhism is not India but China, so why has history been falsified?

Know who founded Buddhism? It was Siddhartha Gautama! Do you know what Buddhism is? Buddhism is not a religion, but the education of the Buddha on the supreme goodness and perfection of all beings in the nine realms of the Dharma, which later generations have taken as a religion.

Shakyamuni (Buddha), the founder of Buddhism, was a member of the Sakya tribe in the ancient Central Indian country of Kaviara.

Because there was no calendar or historian in India at that time, it is because of the six vibrations of heaven and earth at the time of the Buddha's birth that we find the evidence of the Buddha's birth from the Chinese historical annals.

From historians and the Buddhist community, the evidence is as follows:

One, the Chinese historical records

According to the Zhou Book of History, the Buddha was born in the twenty-fourth year of the reign of King Zhao of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty, Fasang said the same thing ("The Three Treasures of the Ages," Volume 1, says that the Fasang said that he quoted from the "Mu Tien Tzu Bie Chuan").

The Zhou book of different records: Zhou Zhao Wang reign twenty-four years A Yin year April 8. Rivers and springs suddenly rose, wells and all overflow, the palace people house, mountains and rivers and the earth, salty all vibration. The night of the five-color light gas, into the penetration of Tai Wei, all over the West, all the green and red. King Zhao of Zhou asked the historian Su Yu said: "What is auspicious?" Su Yu said: "There are great saints living in the west, so this is the realm of the good. ...... A thousand years away, the sound and religion are spread to other lands." King Zhao sent someone to engrave a stone to remember, buried in the southern suburbs in front of the Temple of Heaven. ...... King Mu became the throne, thirty-two years, see the west of the number of light gas, first heard Su Yu recorded, know the west of the saints in the world. ...... In the 52nd year of King Mu's reign, on the 15th day of the 2nd month of the year Nonshen, on the first day of the 2nd lunar month, a violent wind suddenly arose, damaging people's houses, breaking trees, and shaking the mountains, rivers, and earth. In the afternoon, when the sky was cloudy and dark, there were twelve white rainbows in the west, passing from north to south, and they did not go out for the rest of the night. King Mu asked the historian Huduo, "What is the sign?" Huduo said, "There is a great saint in the west who is going to die, and the decaying phase is appearing in the ear."

In this way, the legend that Buddha was born in the reign of Zhou Zhaoshi and perished in the reign of Zhou Mu has become a belief in the Han Dynasty for more than a thousand years. In 1 9 1 3 and 1 9 2 3 A.D., the Buddhist community in China also held a solemn ceremony to commemorate the 2940th and 2950th years of the Buddha's birth. Even now, some jungles and temples in the Han area still practise and believe in this saying. But this is a lot of Buddhists for the Han Chinese people to follow, has been customary.

Second, the World Buddhist Congress confirmed

The World Fellowship of Buddhists (WFB), established in 1950, held its third congress in Myanmar, adopted 544 BC as the year of the Buddha's demise, that is, according to Sri Lanka, Myanmar, who has been passed on to the (you can search the Internet, a lot of). ) *** (at that time our country is in the liberation war period, just founded the country, the war has not ceased, is advancing to the south of the national war of liberation, there is no Buddhist monks to participate in the meeting) *** according to this resolution, 1956 in India held a grand international commemorative puja of the Buddha into the end of the year of 2,500 years, our new China also sent a delegation to participate in the publication of the Chinese Buddhist Association "Modern Buddhism" issued a special issue of the commemoration. Since this is an international agreement with universal influence, almost all modern Buddhist circles and their publications use this Buddhist calendar.

Third, Xuyun's talk on the Buddhist calendar

They also differed on the Bathing Buddha Festival, not recognizing the eighth day of the fourth month as the Bathing Buddha Festival. I rely on the law of the inner biography of the book and Morten said to Emperor Ming: Buddha to the year of A Yin April 8 born, this is when the Zhou Zhao Wang 24 years. Wei Shu Shamen Tammu most said: Buddha was born on April 8 in the 24th year of King Zhao of Zhou, and was extinguished on February 15 in the 52nd year of King Mu. Such a year and month, how many dynasties have followed the unchanged. It has been 2982 years since King Zhao of Zhou, and now they want to change it to 2502 years. Originally, Confucius and Laozi were born after Buddha, but now he puts Confucius and Laozi before Buddha. At that time, I argued with them in the General Assembly that the precepts, the year code, and the Chinese dress should not be destroyed. (Editor's note: The year number is the Buddhist calendar, calculated by subtracting 1027 from the Buddhist calendar, i.e., the Xiyuan calendar. (For example, the old monk Xuyun was in the Buddhist calendar of 2982, i.e., 1955 CE.)

The Buddha's teachings into China's India Morten, Zhu Fran two honored, to go to the Buddha's demise of the age is not far away. At that time, the White Horse Temple East, the night there is a strange light, Morten pointed out for King Ashoka hide Buddha's relics of the place, the Ming Emperor built a tower on it. The Buddha's path to test the superiority of, Morten dancing body in the void, wide appearance of divine transformation, flange out of the great Dharma sound, declaring the Buddha's teachings. Can't we tell the years of the wisdom and power of the two honored ones? Later monks, such as Roche, Fa Xian, Xuanzang, Dao Xuan, although there are several legends, there is no certainty of change. Until the second year of the Republic of China, Zhang Taiyan and other monks in Beijing Fayuan Temple held a no-shadow meeting to discuss the anniversary of the Buddha, resolved that the eighth day of April for the Bathing Buddha Festival.

Chinese monks and virtuosos throughout the ages have used the Chinese Mahayana Buddhist calendar for their anniversaries.

Fourth, the Buddhist calendar calculation method

1, Mahayana Buddhist calendar: 3040 years 2013 + 1027 years (the twenty-fourth year of King Zhao of the Zhou Dynasty)

2, the Hinayana Buddhist calendar:

Before the Buddha's birth, 2556 years 2013 + (623-80) 543 years (before April 8)

After the Buddha's birth, 2557 years 2013 + (623-80) 543 years

After the Buddha's birth, 2557 years 2013 + (623-80) 543 years. 623-80) 543 years (after April 8)

I also don't understand why so many people like to come and falsify history.
