On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month in 511 BC, it was the Buddhist Shakyamuni.
The Buddha's birthday. Shakyamuni grew up in a wealthy environment, married a wife and had children, became a monk at about the age of 29, and the meditation and asceticism he learned could not solve the problem, and he received the Buddha's realizations at the age of about 35. For the rest of his life, he traveled all over the Ganges Valley, teaching and educating all classes.
He spoke to the outside world. The exaltation and abandonment of thought corrected some deviations in the civilization of the times and also upheld the Kshatriyas.
The class interests made him revered as the Shakya.

The statement that the Buddha was born in 511 B.C. and died in 431 B.C. is closer to the truth. Legend has it that the Buddha was born on the full moon day of the month of Vaishika (Vaishyaja is the second month of the first month), which translates to the 15th day of the fifth month of the solar calendar. The pre-Indian and southern transmission countries believed that the Buddha's birth, initiation, and disappearance were all on this day.
In the Chinese translation of Buddhist scriptures in the Northern Transmission, it is also believed that it was on February 8.
2. Place of birth: Acropolis of Bira, Central and Indian Kaja.
The Garden of Lumbini.
3. Ethnicity: Shakya. According to the old legend, the Shakya people are the Kshatriya race of the Aryans, and they are descendants of the famous king sugar cane, and the sugar cane royal family is from Qu Tan and also known as the Gautama immortals, so Qu Tan is the clan.
However, according to the research of modern historians and scholars, they all advocate that the Shakya people are not the white Aryans, but the Mongols of the yellow race. Venerable Yin Shun also holds the same view.

Birth of Gautama Buddha 565 or 624 BC (disputed) on the eighth day of the fourth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. There are already Buddhist historical sources to prove that the date of birth is accurate. Many online information is a misunderstanding, the 8th day of the fourth month of the Chinese lunar calendar is not April 8 of the Western calendar.

Shakyamuni was born in 565 BCHe died in 486 B.C., about the same time as Confucius in China. Shakyamuni was originally a prince of the Kapila Kingdom (in present-day Nepal) in ancient India, and belonged to the Kshatriya caste. At the age of 29, Shakyamuni gave up his royal life and became a monk.
At the age of 35, he was enlightened under the Bodhi tree and founded Buddhism.
Historical recordsAccording to legend, Shakyamuni is a descendant of the famous royal family of King Yishima (King Yijiu) in the Vedic period of ancient India, that is, the Chinese translation of "King of Sugarcane", the crown prince of the Kapilavi (Shobirava Valley) country, and belongs to the Kshatriya caste. Kapilawei was a small city inhabited by the Shakya tribe, located at the foot of the Himalayas, near Tirolak, in present-day southern Nepal and adjacent to India.
At the end of the 19th century, archaeologists unearthed a stone pot containing bones engraved with a Brahma riddle script popular in centuries BC, meaning the bones of the Buddha worshipped by the Shakyas. In addition, a stone carving built by Emperor Ashoka during his visit to Kapilawei was found, which confirmed its approximate geographical location, and archaeological excavations have been carried out in Nepal** since then.

Shakyamuni Buddha's birthday, ordination day, enlightenment day, and the eighth day of the first lunar month, birth, death, and nirvana are the same day, indicating that there is no birth, no imitation of the stove and death, and there is nowhere to come and nowhere to go.
The eighth day of the fourth month of April is the birth day of the Buddha, and the eighth day of the first month of the month is the day of the Buddha's enlightenment. The eighth day of the second lunar month is the day when Shakyamuni Buddha became a monk.
To be ordained, the six roots are sufficient, in good health, no disabilities, no mental illness, sound intelligence, no physical defects, a normal man or woman, not transgender. It's not that the Buddha is not compassionate, but because the monk is not to provide for the elderly, nor to enjoy, but to take on the responsibility of the family business, to serve the public, a monk must not only understand the Dharma, be able to keep the vows, but also have a certain amount of prestige based on the convenience of the human being. If many of the monks are imperfect people, then the outside world will have a bad view of Buddhism and the Dharma, which will affect their faith in the Dharma.
