Yes, when Buddha was living and at that time. Not now.

Now, it is mostly, forest communities (Thai) or village - living (Monastary living communities), and no missionary work.


ah! you did accept that it was a missionary religion! :)
im surprised!

and no..it was a missionary religion even Millenia After Lord Buddha attained Nirvana.

for example why were mahinda and Sangamittha sent to lanka? they were Missionaries. in fact the srilanka Buddhists are the result of missionary work.

missionaries also went to china southeast-asia and even to the west.

in fact the most famous Buddhist missionary is a Tamil :))
Bodhidharma from TamilNadu. he is the one who took Buddhism to China :)

Did the democratically gov. brought peace or war


A sustainable peace can only be achieved through war.
VP has proved it time and time again with his deeds as well as his hero's day speeches. The leader is given a mandate to lead, but not to dance according to the tune of terror drums. The leader who doesn't wage war when the country is threatened is a fool as well as the leader who wages war for nothing.

This is a lie. TamilNADU came into existence since 1960s.

It was a tamil Monk but from North part of the South India. when whole South India was mostly Buddhists, Tamils were JAINISTS.

How many Buddhist temples are in TamilNADU while most of North India had so many Buddhist Sites ?


Initially, Buddha did not have have any temples and lived under trees. At that time, it was mainly a missionary religion. Later when Buddhism became popular all over India that habit died down. Because, people built monasteries so that monks did not have to live under trees during the rainy season.

:)))

but its true:)) Probably the greatest Buddhist who ever lived after Buddha :)

Bodhidharma aka Damo aka Daruma - Monk, Mystic, and Purported Kung Fu Master

Bodhidharma (c482-c539) was an Indian monk credited with founding Zen Buddhism (in Chinese, Chan Buddhism). In China, Bodhidharma is revered as Damo, the short form of Chinese transliteration of his name, Pu Di Da Mo, and in Japan he is called Daruma, from the Japanese, 'Bodaidaruma.'

Bodhidharma was born in the Indian city of Kanchipuram in what is now the state of Tamil Nadu in about 482, the third son of a minor king.
As a young man, Bodhidharma was training to become one of the leaders of his country when he encountered the teachings of the Buddha and decided to forsake worldly things and become a monk, and began to train under the tutelage of the great Buddhist master Prajnatara, allegedly the 27th Buddhist master in a direct line of descent from the Buddha himself.

After many years of training, Prajnatara deemed his disciple to be fully trained, so he gave him the name 'Bodhidharma,' gave him the 'Mind Transmission' (direct mind-to-mind communication of full enlightenment), declared him the 28th master of Buddhism, and commanded him to travel to China, where Buddhism had been waning, to once again show the Chinese the true teachings of the Buddha.
