In Buddhism we enjoy a "Mother Mary" figure one might call "Virg Yin" (Kwan Yin, Guanyin), the Goddess of Compassion, a bodhisattva. So the best part of the Catholic faith is present. And if a Buddhist wants to love Mary (Miriam) or any other Goddess or her son, that's fine. We do not answer to the Vatican. How great the world would be if everyone were free to pick a spirituality, wisdom, faith, or path-of-practice. We can practice all of them, and that's fine with the Buddha. Good luck on your spiritual journey. We have all been cycling through samsara in search of real "salvation" (liberation, vimutti, moksha). May we all find it.
(But what if a Catholic doesn't like Catholicism, the Patriarchy, and the Church but loves Jesus Christ? - That's great. Investigate what Jesus really taught in the banned Gnostic texts the Church never wants you to know exist.)
In Malaysia there is a hill (Bukit Broga, near Semenyih and Kuala Lumpur), likely the entrance to an underground world (cavern, portal, tunnel system) called Alamaza, a name reminiscent of Agartha and Aztlan, references to a Hollow Earth civilization or levels of "heavens" in Hindu and Buddhist lore. This is a literal "fairy (féerie) kingdom" or alternate dimension as spoken of existing in woodland forests the world over.
In Malaysian, Singaporean, Bruneian, and Indonesian folklore, bunian people or Orang bunian [akin to the other humans, the Asian Bigfoot/Yeti creatures known as Orang Pendek).
They are suspected "supernatural" unseen beings said to be invisible to most humans, except for those who are born with or develop "spiritual sight." (In Buddhism, this is called the cultivation of dibba cakkhu or the "third eye" between the brows, likely corresponding to a DMT-oozing pineal gland).
If they live underground to remain unseen, these are the "hollow hills," cave systems, or burial mounds into which they retreat.
While the term Orang bunian is often translated as "elves," it literally means "hidden people" or "whistling people." (Bigfoot all over the world are known to whistle and mimic human sounds very well, as well as tossing stones and rustling in the foliage).
Orang bunian when seen are described as beautiful, dressed in ancient Southeast Asian style, and nearly identical to humans in appearance. [One might call the bhumi devas or "woodland fairies, sprite, the Fae or sidhe.]
Some mythological accounts describe the lack of a philtrum(the human "love charm" or lateral cleft above the lip below the nose).
Modern depictions of Orang bunian deviate from the traditional folklore by including elf-like features -- pointed ears, high fantasy-influenced attire, or modern Minangkabau long-coat clothing [1].
Orang bunian are said to inhabit the deep forests or high mountains in Sumatra, Borneo and Malay Peninsula, far from human contact [2], as well as near human communities, and are even said to share the same houses as human families [3].
According to legend, their social structure is similar to that of humans in the ancient Malay Peninsula, with families, clans, and royalty. As with other mythical beings in Indonesian folklore, Orang bunian often have supernatural powers [4] and must be appeased with certain rituals [or offerings] and customs before humans are allowed to trespass areas they inhabit.
Orang bunian are generally regarded as benevolent, befriending and assisting humans, particularly magicians (dukun or bomoh) and shamans (pawang) [5].
They are said to be able to intermarry with humans and bear invisible children [6].
Wake up, Rip Van Winkle! It's very late.
According to some tales, men married Orang bunian females but later decided to leave the bunian community and return to the human families they had left behind. However, after returning to human society, they found that many years had passed and everyone they once knew had died.
These narratives have been compared to Urashima Taro and Rip Van Winkle [7] [which would suggest that devas are much longer lived than humans but that "time" exists at different rates simultaneously everywhere all at once, such that one might experience an "eternity" somewhere then return to the human plane where an eternity had not yet elapsed and vice versa].

Gunung Padang: Indonesia’s terraced pyramid and the lost civilization
(Business Hook) Sept. 12, 2025: Gunung Padang, located in formerly Buddhist (now predominantly Muslim) Java, Indonesia, is an ancient megalithic site that has sparked significant debate among archeologists and geologists.
Initially discovered in 1914 and rediscovered in 1979, the pyramid site contains massive stone blocks arranged in terraces, suggesting a complex structure.

In 2011, further exploration revealed evidence of human-made layers beneath the surface, dating back up to 28,000 years, far earlier than known civilizations like the Sumerians and Egyptians.
The discovery of advanced construction techniques, ancient artifacts, and possibly mystical properties challenges existing historical narratives and raises questions about the origins of human civilization, making Gunung Padang a key site in rewriting history.

There are no bases -- no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no forms, sounds, smells, tastes, tangibles or objects of mind; no sight-organ element, and so forth, until we come to:
Therefore, O Foremost in Wisdom, it is because of this non-striving to attain that a being bent on supreme enlightenment, through having relied on the Perfection of Wisdom, dwells without thought-coverings. In the absence of thought-coverings, one is not made to tremble.
One has overcome what can upset, and in the end is quenched, having let go, having glimpsed Nirvana.
All who appear as supremely enlightened beings in the three periods of time -- past, present, and future -- fully awake to the utmost, to right and supreme enlightenment because they have relied on the Perfection of Wisdom.
Therefore, one should recognize the Perfection of Wisdom, the Prajnaparamita, as the great mantra, the mantra of great knowledge, the utmost mantra, the unequalled mantra, allayer of all suffering, in truth -- for what could go wrong? By the Prajnaparamita has this mantra been realized. It runs like this:
Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!
(Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond, O, what an awakening, all hail!)
Peru is a country in South America, and the Paracas culture apparently left behind many pyramids. How could they have developed the advanced technology to construct them without extraterrestrial assistance, the same as the incredible technological innovations all over and under ancient Egypt?
In fact, the distribution of such marvels worldwide, overland and undersea, is startling and seems to have been covered up, particularly by China and Nubia (modern Sudan).
North Africa and West Asia DNA in Egypt
The largest pyramid in the world is in Mexico (Great Pyramid of Cholula), and Sudan (Pyramids of Meroë) has more pyramids than Egypt. But if there are 200 more in China, or if Bosnia and Indonesia have mountains that are really superannuated pyramids that science is only slowly coming around to admitting to, we have been deceived about the world.
A team of scientists has unearthed a concealed city beneath the ocean, potentially offering the first solid evidence of the mythical lost world.
Excavations revealed a Homo erectusskull, believed to be 140,000 years old, along with over 6,000 fossils from 36 species, such as Komodo dragons and elephants, in the Madura StraitoffIndonesia.
Reported by the Daily Mail, these remnants were entombed under sediment in an area that was once part of Sundaland (Malesia), a massive Southeast Asian land bridge.
Hidden city built 140,000 years ago discovered at bottom of ocean (Osheen Yadav, May 24, 2025) Buried beneath the sea off the coast of Indonesia, scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that could rewrite the story of human origins. The skull of Homo erectus, an ancient human ancestor, was discovered over 140,000 years after it was first buried, preserved beneath layers of silt and sand in the Madura Strait between the islands of Java [site of the world's largest excavated Buddhist temple known as Borobudur] and Madura. Experts say the site may be the first physical evidence of the lost world, a prehistoric landmass known as Sundaland that once connected Southeast Asia in a vast tropical plain.

LEMURIA was a continent proposed in 1864 by zoologist Philip Sclater, theorized to have sunk beneath the Indian Ocean. It was later appropriated by occultists in supposed accounts of human origins. The theory was discredited with the discovery of plate tectonics and continental drift in the 20th century [1]. The hypothesis was proposed as an explanation for the presence of lemur fossils on Madagascar and the Indian subcontinent but not in continental Africa or the Middle East. Biologist Ernst Haeckel's suggestion in 1870 that Lemuria could be the ancestral home of humans caused the hypothesis to move beyond the scope of geology and zoogeography, ensuring its popularity outside of the framework of the scientific community.

A wandering ascetic (śramaṇa, shramana, shaman) [a] is a person "who labors, toils, or exerts [him or herself] for some higher or religious purpose" [1, 2], a "seeker, or ascetic, one who performs acts of austerity" (tapas) [3, 4, 5, 6].
The śramaṇa tradition includes primarily [the contemporary proto-Indian schools of] Jainism [7], Buddhism [8], and others such as the Ājīvika[9, 10].
The śramaṇa [Dharmic] religions became popular in the circles of wandering mendicant, contemplative, truth seekers after a direct (unmediated by priests) experience of the divine or of the ultimate truth of reality from greater Magadha (where the Buddha chose to live) that led to the development of spiritual practices [11] as well as the popular concepts in all major Indian religions such as saṃsāra (the Cycle of Rebirth and Death) and moksha (liberation from that cycle) [12, Note 1].
The Śramaṇic traditions have a diverse range of doctrines (beliefs) and practices, ranging from accepting or denying the concept of an eternal soul, fatalism to free will, idealization of extreme asceticism to that of family life, renunciation, strict ahimsa (non-violence, harmlessness, kind caring), and veganism/vegetarianism to permissibility of violence and flesh-eating [13, 14].
The Pali (the exclusively Buddhist language) word samaṇa has been suggested as the ultimate origin of the word Evenkiсама̄н (samān) "shaman," possibly via Middle Chinese or Tocharian B; however, the etymology of this word, which is also found in other Tungusic languages, is controversial (see Shamanism § Etymology).

Where is the world's largest pyramid? It is in Mexico, in CHOLULA, not in Egypt nor in the places with more pyramids than Egypt, namely, Sudan, the Americas, and China.
After 20 years of research, Graham Hancock does not reveal how the pyramids were built
(Business Hook) March 26, 2025: The Great Pyramid of Giza harbors unimaginable secrets. Graham Hancock (grahamhancock.com) has spent decades uncovering its real purpose. Was it just a burial site, or does it align with the forces of the universe? The pyramids mirror Orion's Belt, and the Sphinx may be older than 12,000 years old. Ancient wisdom, lost civilization, and bizarre accuracy, this mystery is profound. Let's crack the case about Egypt's greatest mystery.

Pyramids in Indonesia? You bet!
According to the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia ["National Institute of Anthropology and History"] the Great Pyramid of Cholula is also known as Tlachihualtepetl (Nahuatl for "Constructed Mountain" or "Made-by-hand Mountain").
Nahuatl(pronounced \nah-wah\) is the national indigenous language of Mexico, not Spanish which is byproduct of conquest and European imperialism in the Americas. It is that same imperialism and hegemony (conquest and influence) that tried to hide this world-class discovery centuries ago when Catholic-Christian missionaries buried it and built a church on top of it.

Behind the facade of white stones
Made-by-hand Mountain is a complex located in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. It is the largest archeological site of a pyramid (temple) in the New World -- as well as the largest pyramid by volume known to exist in the world today [1, 2] (though there may be larger ones in Indonesia, Bosnia, Antarctica, and the Moon, not to mention the massive Buddhist pyramid in Java known as Borobudur).
The adobe brick pyramid stands 82 feet (25 meters) [3] above the surrounding plain, which is significantly shorter than the Great Pyramid of Giza's height of 481 feet (146.6 meters), but much wider, measuring 984 by 1,033 feet (300 by 315 meters) in its final form [3], compared to the Great Pyramid of Giza's base dimensions of 756 by 756 feet (230.3 by 230.3 meters) [4].

The pyramid is a temple that traditionally has been viewed as having been dedicated to the god Quetzalcoatl [5]. The architectural style of the building was linked closely to that of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico, although influence from the Gulf Coast is evident as well, especially from El Tajín [6].
Location and etymology
The Cholula archeological zone is situated 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) west of the city of Puebla [7], in the City of Cholula. The pyramid is located in the San Andrés Cholula, Puebla municipality, and marks the area in the center of the city where this municipality begins.
The city is divided into two municipalities called San Andrés and San Pedro. This division originates in the Toltec-Chichimeca conquest of the city in the 12th century. These pushed the former dominant ethnicity of the Olmeca-Xicalanca to the south of the city [8].
These people kept the pyramid as their primary religious center, but the newly dominant Toltec-Chichimecas founded a new temple to Quetzalcoatl where the San Gabriel Monastery is now.
The Toltec-Chichimec people who settled in the area around the 12th century AD named Cholula as Tlachihualtepetl, meaning "artificial" or "handmade hill" [9]. The name cholula has its origin in the ancient Nahuatl word cholollan, which means "place of refuge" [7]. More
