Buddhism is the religion of Afghanistan (Gandhara, Central Asia, the real Kapilavastu), where the Buddha was born and raised, after which he traveled east to Magadha, Bihar, and Varanasi/Benares (proto-India) to set the Wheel of the Dharma in motion. The Shakyas (Sakas) ordained in their country (maha-janapada) and became the Monks and Nuns of the Mines (National Geographic) in ancient Afghanistan.

(CaspianReport) Formerly Buddhist (ranajitpal.com) Afghanistan's mountains obstruct stability and prosperity. Conflict and tribalism have shaken the formerly Buddhist, British, Russian, USA/CIA, and future Chinese state to its core. Now, those same mountains may hold the answer to its misfortune. They are full of gold, copper, and rare earth minerals, the value of which fluctuates on the world market as demand increases due to electronics like iPhones and computers.

Wisdom Quarterly joins Afghan students near UCLA (at Federal Building on Wilshire Blvd. in support of Save Mes Aynak documentary makers years ago when China was about to demolish Mes Aynak to extract rare earth minerals. Then the world price dropped due to discover of such minerals on sea floor and price plummet.
