Additional Details
If
Buddhism dates back to 563-483 BC and Greco-Bactrian Kingdom dates back
to 250-125 BC, migrating to northern India around 180 BC establishing
the Indo-Greek Kingdom, can the main roots of Buddhism be found in west?
@Fake Genius,
Math helps to study Buddhism as it is, in an abstract way, like number 5.
Most Buddhists read a shadow/projection of Buddhism, like 5 apples, 5Kg, etc.
I agree that Nibbana is beyond math.
