It is a vehicle, not a destination. In a strange manner of speaking, the Buddha, in my most humble of opinions, was not even from planet earth. He walked six inches above it. Some will understand, some will not. But that's not the point either. For me, Buddhism doesn't need so many words to "gild the lily". No one can tell you exactly what good Chinese tea tastes like, you have to taste it for yourself. It's like trying to explain what true love is like.

I am very upset that you mentioned Buddha was from India which is completely wrong, he was born in Nepal but you can say he got enlightment in India. I think you should correct it or do more research on this matter.. you should be able to seperate and clear things up and be sure and write down. Its a crime to write false information as many people may refer this article as their source. Due to your mistake it will affect lot of people here. I hope you will do something about it. thank you Hi, who ever wrote this article or whoever is responsible.
