Depends who's calculations you use, but it was around 2500 years ago. Give or take. 3nodding

The historical Buddha lived 2500 years ago, but Shakyamuni told us that he wasn't the first.

Frankly, Truth is timeless, and without bound.

Mmm, that's a point. Forgot to factor in the previous Buddhas. 3nodding

But the current rebirth of the religion is 2500 years old. heart

Someday it'll get forgotten again. Then we start over. Just like always.
