Comments on: Taking the “Buddha Quiz” http://japanlifeandreligion.com/2011/06/10/taking-the-buddha-quiz/ My life as a father, Buddhist and Japanophile.

I should've been more clear though my impression is that it did follow the Canonical stuff pretty well though with some embellishments. Mainly it was adapted from the Jataka Tales and to some degree Mahayana folklore, but that was mainly just an impression. Hi Miriam,

Wish I could access some of the posts on the earlier versions. I just thought I would point out that the questions are based in what happens in Tezuka's version of the story of the Buddha's life. If you only know the versions that appear in canonical Buddhist texts, you won't be able to answer the questions. Still, it is fun to take the quiz. Thanks, Miriam Hi, Doug, I like your blog.
