We are very familiar with the name of Lord Buddha and Buddhism. As per our ancient historic books, monuments and historic evidences we know Lord Buddha discovered Buddhism between sixth century and fourth century BCE. I say that He came to a stage in his life when he felt the things he was told or taught inside the premises of his Kingdom, were not perfectly said or perhaps it was not completely known by the religious scholars of his time. When he saw different realistic cases in the society, he started his journey for Truth. Why he needed to start his journey for Truth? Though He was a prince, he had many intelligent people to teach him what the truth is but he chose his own way to find the truth. Didn’t other religion exist at that time which leads a person to salvation? Or did he never learn the religious and pious facts from his teachers? When these questions strike into my mind, I make an assumption and treat his like a boy who never wanted to follow others without knowing what is right or wrong in their teachings and recognitions. He wished to feel the truth. He roamed, met different types of people, observed their lifestyle and living ideologies, but didn’t agree or satisfy. Perhaps he felt some sculpture miswritten, unsaid and misunderstood by religious scholars. But he had to know about the truth and lead his life and others towards salvation. He couldn’t accept what was told or well defined or seen in society. He took the risk and showed his courage and enthusiasm to meet the God and became a monk, the saint, Lord Buddha to enlighten the world by his teachings; and now he has his own followers who follow his teachings not others. His experiences in life, his perception about life and his teachings and preaching wholly discovered a new religion Buddhism which is still followed by many people in the world, called Buddhist.  

We are also familiar with Jainism, Sikhism and others. Each of them has a different story, religious sculptures, teachings, recognitions; but a large number of people follow their teachings and believe in what they were told according to their religion. These religions are also discovered by a Human who later called a god. Hinduism, Islam and Christianity are also having their stories of existence, there teachings either in the form of handwritten books or the commitment he (god) said to his prophet to lead the world. Religious persons believe in their religion and their gods. They must believe in but not a blind trust. Do you believe that the sculptures of your religion were not miswritten by someone?  Don’t you have rights to know either they are well said or not? Aren’t they made for Human welfare not only to promote the divineness of the gods and orders which are made for you to meet him?  Why don’t you choose our own way? Don’t you have enough wisdom to know what is right for you to live happily and peacefully? Is it necessary to follow each and every teachings of your religion either they are against humanity or real salvation? Do you want to be misguided people forever?
