The history of Buddhism spans from the 5th century BCE to the present. Buddhism arose in the eastern part of Ancient India, in and around the ancient Kingdom of Magadha (now in Bihar, India), and is based on the teachings of Siddhārtha Gautama. This makes it one of the oldest religions practiced today , back then there was nothing called Nepal, buddha was an Indian prince, Indian Emperor ASHOKA spread Buddhism in most part of south and south east Asia . all the butt hurt Nepali go google it and another thing, get a life, India is the land of buddhism and not Nepal, ask any Buddha teacher from Tibet to Burma and Japan

There is one religion I find fascinating, which is older than Buddhism called To Dr. John Curtis, Keeper of Special Middle East Projects at the British Museum, the answer is clear: a priest of the Zoroastrian religion. Sometimes called the official religion of ancient Persia, Zoroastrianism is one of the world’s oldest surviving religions, with teachings older than Buddhism, older than Judaism, and far older than Christianity or Islam.
