Expert: John Willemsens aka Advayavadananda - 4/5/2007

Question
Hello Mr. Willemsens,

Do Bouddhists pretend to have had a massive revelation (or apparition) of it's more important divinity ? By massive I mean some hundreds or thousands of people. Judaism (as it is portrayed in the Pentateuch) pretends that in mount Sinai Somme millions of people saw and listened the God of Israel. It is really very important for me this question.  

Thank you very much for your help

Answer
Hello Nicolas,
In the first place, please bear in mind that there are many forms of Buddhism. According to Advayavada Buddhism there was only the one historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who taught his 4 truths 25 centuries ago - all others are simply mythical.
Kind regards,
Advayavadananda.
