Traveling to formerly-Buddhist Afghanistan

Yes Theory, 11/22/20; Amber Larson, Dhr. Seven, Pat Macpherson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

96 hours inside Afghanistan in 2020
(Yes Theory) I went to Afghanistan -- formerly Gandhara, where Dr. Ranajit Pal claims the Buddha was born and raised in what Wisdom Quarterly thinks were the three seasonal capitals of Kapilavastu: Kabul, Bamiyan, and Mes Aynak (land of the Buddha's family, the Scythians/Shakyians/Sakas).

Afghanistan (ancient Gandhara) was the first Buddhist country, not proto-India or Bihar

I discovered something about this incredible country that I never expected. We can't wait to see our guide Noor's school develop and are so incredibly grateful to this community for giving us the ability to make these life-changing dreams come true. See Drew Binsky’s video of the trip. Check out Noor’s tour company “Let’s Be Friends Afghanistan”:
