    I may agree with you. If you see budhism with the eye of a religius denominations..it may fail you. but with the eye of spiritualism , it's an ocean.
    Become more and more innocent, less knowledgeable and more childlike. Take life as fun - because that's precisely what it is!

    I beg to disagree. I think the learned ones share their knowledge with other seekers. Many show spiritual and ethical path to others. The knowledge that is gained with introspection, deep thinking on various human and social aspects etc.

    Buddhism spread far and wide in the east (as far as Japan) and South Asia. I do not think it has collapsed.

    I think there is truth to what you have said. Sirpur, in Chattisgarh, has recently been found to have had been a prominent Buddhist centre during the time of the existence of South Kosala kingdom (6th C.E). Excavations in the area have yielded lot of Buddhist artifacts and monastery layout. However, the local religion these days is prominently Hindu. Where have all the practising Buddhists disappeared? I suppose, over time, Buddhism as a religion of the masses or as state religion did indeed disappear in India.

    It is not collapsed, but Buddhists don't care about their religion much or I should say comparing to other religions. Diwali the main festival for Hindus, X-Mas for Christians, Eid for Muslims....what for Buddhists? If any then not popular one. If statue of Buddh vandalized then they don't care. I think here on JL almost 90% people don't believe in karma or rebirth (though I believe). In this world as well there are lot of people who don't think so that their karmas have anything to do with their fate. He showed the real path, but how many follow?

    Truth is that it has lost followers in the country of its birth place.

    Though Buddhism as a religious sect has disappeared but many of its teachings and practices have become part of Hindu way of life. Therefore, no question of thanklessness or remorse !
