[edit] buddhist temples

It seems strange that the "buddhist temples" section says that certain countries contain buddhist temples. I suspect it should be clarified to say that buddhist temples of a specific kind are present in the countries listed. Buddhist temples exist in the US, Europe, and many other places, in addition to those countries listed. 140.90.208.67 17:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I think that you have never visited or read about Bodh Gaya, and your knowledge about the place is based on what you have read here. In a sense, you are right as the contents fails to convey the proper meaning: there are many other temples in Bodh Gaya, and these temples have been built by different countries mentioned in the page. Some other day, I shall properly re-word the contents to make the meaning more clear. --Bhadani

[edit] Time taken to obtain enlightenment

The article on Gautama Buddha says that it took him 49 days of meditating to obtain enlightenment, however the History section of this article says that it only took 3 days, Is there a mistake or am I mixing things up? 81.137.148.225 14:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Melissa

I already told you why. The quality of the images is too low. El_C 15:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

If you want us to include your advertisment-intensive, personal image webpage, at least give us the original resolution, or close to it (anything above 800px — 300px will not do). El_C 15:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 25 meter statue of Buddha

It is not next to the Thai Temple.
