      Why does it matter where he was born. I am not a budda fan however what I understand about budda, the principles and teachings are what are important not the place of birth, though I love the country nepal I dont truly see why this matters.

      If you are from nepal I guess it would matter to you however the teachings are what matter not place of birth.

        You are right that it doesn't matter where he was born.But the question really arises when there is misunderstanding on any topic.
