Siddhartha not only was seeking to end human suffering. He was seeking to end All suffering of All living beings, animals and humans equally much. The Buddha Made A Video

Rebekah Willey have you looked for Palmyra in Syria lately... Bet you can't find Jonas tomb anywhere...read any statements by radical islamists lately....????
It's interesting that there are so many parallels between Catholicism and Buddhism. I don't consider Islam worthy of respect, but i can respect muslims in compassion....
