Ah yes, the harmless Buddha. Who abandoned his wife and child, and his duties to his kingdom. Who refused to share his knowledge with others, and had to be talked into doing so. The Buddha who refused to share the Dharma with women, and had to be talked into doing so, and even then, only relenting if women were required to follow additional rules not required of men. The same Buddha who claimed to know how to reach Nirvana, despite never having actually done so himself.
Are we talking about the same man?
The Buddha was probably a completely fictional character just like Jesus, so everthing you mentioned is moot.
Plus Anyway, according to legend, he welcomed women to follow him. Back then that was revolutionary in itself. He was always reluctant to talk. He's quiet, haha.
The whole "not reachin" Nirvana thing, I don't know what you are reading from. This is not a conspiracy.

To what? Baseless assertions from a troll?
No! Don't open your mind for anything Cthulhu, keep your mind shut just like your mouth. You just missed the whole point of what I mentioned about Lennon anyway. Go eat some grass.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
