Question

How long ago Buddha existed?

Answer 1

The Buddha was born and lived as much as 300 years earlier than some previously thought.

Answer 2

Explanation:

However, the actual date traditionally accepted as the date of the Buddha's death in Theravāda countries is 544 or 545 BCE, because the reign of Emperor Aśoka was traditionally reckoned to be about 60 years earlier than current estimates. In Burmese Buddhist tradition, the date of the Buddha's death is 13 May 544 BCE.
