Can u people shut up about all the Racial and Geographical issues with Buddhism and just enjoy the movie for what it is... There will always be speculation when it comes to Buddhism, so if u have nothing positive to say, than don't say anything!!
fucking donkey , They must know who is budhha and where did he from? He is nepalese and don't try to say , he is indian if you don't know about the buddha don't say anithing and you don't have a right to say he is indian , this movie is not related with buddha i don't know what type of movie is this remove from this side as soon as possible it wiil be good for you thank u
i at first wasnt sure about keanu as siddartha but now i think it suits him rather well. and not to sound racists or anything but he looks a little funny with the make-up on they used to make him look indian. its only bc im used to seeing him so pale.
90 percent of this movie is fiction. much of the story of buddha's life has been butchered, fictionalized and made into myth. this is not an accurate account, so do not take it as one.
there is alot of distortion in the movie...1)buddha was born in nepal not the 'ancient kingdom of india' which was always a soverign country and is 2) the little buddha found in nepal in a stupa named raju....if he is a nepali he must have spoken the nepali language not hindi. 3) the people in bhaktapur and kathmandu speak newari and nepali language not hindi 4) the major weakness is the birthpalce of buddha is lumbini (nepal) which is never mentioned in the movie................
Buddha has shown us the path of enlightenment is not through the intellect,ego or the senses,.it's beyond that,.strange we cannot explain ourselves the mystery of our existence,.the kingdom of god is within us,not outside!
Buddha was born in Nepal. India is trying to create a hype that he was born in India, so they can cash in with lots of Western foreign visiting India instead of Nepal. But, we Nepalese, will have none of it. Buddha was born in Nepal and that's the truth. The Indian retards can go f+++ their mothers.
@shresthaeric get over it already.. Buddha was born in ancient india, which is now nepal.. stop fighting over Buddha's place of origin.. Buddhism know where Buddha was born.. there is no need to fight over it..
Buddhism can be both. In China, where it was popularized, philosophy and religion have traditionally been undistinguished. While western religions are based on faith, eastern religions tend to require more meditation and systematic, critical thinking, as with a philosophy. In the west, Buddhism is often split into one of the two categories, but this is not necessarily accurate.
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. ~~ The Buddha
yea, the obese buddha is not the buddha from Buddhism at all. He 's just like a small god/angel kinda thing in china, just like the KuanYin (chinese Lady dressed in white)
The real name of Buddha is Siddhartha Gautama and he was born in Lumbini, Nepal but he got his enlightenment in Gaya, India. So he was never an Indian.
P.S. the entire scene of buddha's story is been taken in the capital of Nepal!!
I remember reading about this movie years ago, when it was just released. Somewhere someone said that River Phoenix was supposed to play the part of Siddharta, but of course he passed away so they offered it to Keanu Reeves later. But I'm not sure if that is true actually. Anyway, he's doing oké. And the scenery is amazing!
yh because he was born in ancient india , the place where buddha was born is now Nepal. And he was born in a hindu family and was a brahamin - these people have indian ancestors. i don't know if this helps.
@califgirl101 i am buddhist, and i suggest not "learning" from this movie. its not an accurate account of buddha's life. although there is no way for anyone to know for sure exactly what happened 3000 years ago, the path of buddha is beautiful. one of wisdom, understanding, and peace within your self. detachment of physical desire causing your anxiety. a tranquil consciousness, and a goal of complete awareness of your place in the universe, enlightenment. --peace to you.

There is 3 branch of Buddhism
Tantrayana : Tibetan Origin (the oldest, and combination of both Mahayana and Theravada)
Mahayana : China Origin (More on practical and norms practice / where monks are vegetarian, etc.)
Theravada : India Origin (More on dharma learning, even though it is from india, it is not the oldest, as many people might think)
