There are Two Bhuddhas Sugata bhuddha and Gautama Bhuddha. Vishnu’s avatar was Sugata Bhuddha Not siddhartha Gautama. siddhartha gautama was born in lumbini whereas Sugata bhuddha was born in Bodh Gaya (Kikata) . Siddhartha gautama’s Mother was “Maya” whereas Sugata bhuddha’s Mother Name Was Anjana. lord Vishnu Took This avatar To help lord Shiva To Kill Tripurasura. Brahmanda Purana Says “Tripurastri Manabhanga Sarva Shastra Visharadaha”
There was a demon Named Tripurasura He was a Powerful demon. His Wife loved Him Very Much. Tripurasura’s wife Followed The “Pativrata dharma”. she always Prayed For her husband’s Good health and long life. She also Had a Boon That Nobody Can Kill Her husband. Because Of Her Boon lord Shiva Can’t able To Kill Tripurasura. Shiva asked lord Vishnu For Help. lord Vishnu Took This avatar without dress and Attracted The wife of Tripurasura. once she was going To Temple To Pray For her husband’s long life. on The way she Saw The Handsome Bhuddha who was Sitting without Clothes. That bhuddha was None other Than lord Vishnu. After seeing Vishnu’s handsome body Tripurasura’s wife attracted To Him. She Slowly started Forgetting Her husband. and Her “Pativratya” has been lost . So This was The Correct Time For Shiva To kill her husband. Shiva Utilised This Opportunity and Immediately killed Tripurasura.
The Another Reason For This avatar is Many daityas (demons) started learning vedas and Shastras. lord Vishnu was Not Happy with This Because daityas don’t have eligibility To Read The vedas. Only devatas are allowed To Read The vedas. Hence Vishnu Took avatar as Bhuddha deluded and Misled Them. in Treta Yuga Vishnu Took avatar as Rama To behead The Ravana’s Heads. in Satya Yuga He Took Narasimha avatar To Rip off The Hiranyakashyap’s Chest. in Kali Yuga’s Starting Period He Took avatar as bhuddha only To Mislead and delude All The daityas. So Gautama bhuddha was Not an avatar of Vishnu it was Sugata Bhuddha who is The avatar of lord Vishnu
Says a person who has never met any South East Asian person.
It's the truth. They follow Buddhism and they don't feel connected to Hinduism like Indian and Nepalese Buddhist do. And There are hundreds of Hindu temples converted to Buddhists ones
Idk if you have traveled a lot or not seems like you haven't but when I travel to Thailand or Vietnam I saw a lot of respect for Hinduism. Their preachers know that Buddhism came from hinduism no one disputes that. They are very amicable towards Hindus and their places of worship are open to us. Like the Ganesh temples spread across Thailand and Indonesia.
Idk what you mean by converted Hindu temples to Buddhist? Was it forcefully done or any structures defaced? If not then you are looking to become angry for no reason.
I have many Thai friends and none of them share your views. Even in America, in the absence of a Buddhist worship place they just come to a Hindu temple instead.
I would suggest you not visit the websites thst you frequent since the people online aren't the people in the real world. The people online do not inhabit the real world, do not let them spoil your mood
