Gautama Buddha or Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha (Sanskrit: सिद्धार्थ गौतम बुद्ध; Pali: Siddhattha Gotama) was a spiritual teacher from the Indian subcontinent, on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. The word Buddha is a title for the first awakened being in an era. In most Buddhist traditions, Siddhartha Gautama is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (P. sammāsambuddha, S. samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age, "Buddha" meaning "awakened one" or "the enlightened one." Gautama Buddha may also be referred to as Śākyamuni (Sanskrit: शाक्यमुनि "Sage of the Śākyas"). The Buddha found a Middle Way that ameliorated the extreme asceticism found in the Sramana religions.
The time of Gautama's birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians dated his lifetime as c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE, but more recent opinion dates his death to between 486 and 483 BCE or, according to some, between 411 and 400 BCE. UNESCO lists Lumbini, Nepal, as a world heritage site and birthplace of Gautama Buddha. There are also claims about birth place of Gautama Buddha to be Kapileswara, Orissa or Kapilavastu at Piprahwa, Uttar Pradesh He later taught throughout regions of eastern India such as Magadha and Kośala.
Richard Tiffany Gere ( /ˈɡɪər/ GEER; born August 31, 1949) is an American actor. He began acting in the 1970s, playing a supporting role in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and a starring role in Days of Heaven. He came to prominence in 1980 for his role in the film American Gigolo, which established him as a leading man and a sex symbol. He went on to star in several hit films including An Officer and a Gentleman, Pretty Woman, Primal Fear, and Chicago, for which he won a Golden Globe Award as Best Actor, as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the Best Cast.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Gere is a descendant of Mayflower Pilgrims Francis Eaton, John Billington, George Soule, Richard Warren, Degory Priest, William Brewster, and Francis Cooke. His paternal great-grandfather had changed the spelling of the surname from "Geer". Gere's mother, Doris Ann (née Tiffany, born 1924), was a homemaker, and his father, Homer George Gere (born 1922), was an insurance agent for the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and had originally intended to become a minister. Gere is their eldest son and second child. In 1967, he graduated from North Syracuse Central High School, where he excelled at gymnastics and music, playing the trumpet. He attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst on a gymnastics scholarship, majoring in philosophy, but did not graduate, leaving after two years.
Happy birthday, Buddha
Happy hunting, happy hiding, happy New Year
I hope you get yourself together
I hope your absence is made clear
I first learned
There was a value in a little subterfuge
From some old peeping Tom or another woman's refuge
Came in contact with a Svengali
He was housebound and unwell
Choked on a whale bone in a Cantonese restaurant
His nervous system had broken down
Trouble travels fast
When your specially designed for crash testin'
Wearin' wool sunglasses in the afternoon
C'mon, tell us what you're trying to prove
It's a battle when you dabble in war
You stole it up,
Unleash it,
Then piece it together
Whether storm drain random, stamp it,
Send it to somebody pretendin to care
Just cash in your blanks
For little toy tanks
Learn how to use them and abuse them
and choose them over
Conversations, relationships,are overrated
i hated everyone said the sun
so will cook all your books
your too good lookin and mistooken
you could watch it instead from the comfort
of your burning beds
well you could sleep through the static
(chorus)
Well who needs sleep when we got love
and who needs keys when we've got clubs
and who needs police when we've got guns
we've gone beyond where we should've gone above
but beyond where we've should've gone
we went beyond where we should've gone
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
i Thought about them too much
allowed them to touch
the feelings of rain down on the planes
all dried and cracked
waiting for things that never came
well such a shocking thing to make somebody think
they have to choose pushin for peace
suportin the troops
and either your weak
or you use brute force feed
truth is say not as we do
ya say anytime, anywhere
just show your teeth
and strike a fear
God wears camouflage
cries at night
and drives a dodge, pick up
the beat, stop hoggin the feast
thats no way to treat an enemy
Mighty, mighty appetite
we'll just em up
and keep on drivin'
freedom can't be freezed
take a picture from the pretty side
min d your manner
wave your banners
what a wonderful world this angle can see
(chorus)
Oh Jesus i love you and i love Buddha too
Why do people say
that there is just one way one to love you
God i come to you
we are all apart of you
is the universe your thought
you are and you are not
you are all and you are non
every end or just begun
Alright x3
Happy birthday buddha
Happy hunting, happy hiding, happy new year
I hope you get yourself together
I hope your absence is made clear
I first learned, their was a value
In a little subterfuge
From some old peeping tom
Or another woman's refuge
Came in contact with a svengali
He was housebound and unwell
Choked on a whale bone in a cantonese restaurant
His nervous system
Had broken down
