When was Buddha born?
Many believe that Buddha lived from 563 to about 483 BCE while others think it may be about 100 years later. He was born in southern Nepal and is said to have lived for about 80 years. Information about his life and teachings was transmitted orally by his disciples prefaced by the phrase ‘evam me sutam- (thus have I heard) and the composition of Buddhist texts started centuries after his death.

The first evidence of the religion spreading outside India coincides with Ashoka’s rule as he sent emissaries to Sri Lanka and an area called Suvarnabhumi, which could be in modern Myanmar or Thailand. Ashoka’s son, monk Mahinda, converted King Devanampiya Tissa and other nobility in modern day Sri Lanka to Buddhism. King Tissa built the Mahavihara monastery, which became the main centre of Buddhism in the island nation. After Sri Lanka, it took more a thousand years for Buddhism to become a leading religion in Myanmar.
