Buddhism was born in Tibet, under the impetus of Rama or Ram, who is therefore the founder of Druidism, Lamaism or Tibetan Buddhism, and Mithraism, because <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/mithra-sol.html\">Mithras and Ram<\/a> are one, or at least duplicate.

In truth, it is a distortion due to the Celts.

They had inherited the ancient druidic religion of the Hyperboreans. These organized society into four castes or colleges. The Celts, obsessed with the triad, reduced the four colleges to three. Hence the famous thesis of Georges Dum\u00e9zil on the functional tripartition of our societies. I had the opportunity to state my disagreement. Originally, all human societies are based on the model that the astronauts gods gave us and that was taught\u00a0to us by Rama: <a href=\"\/en\/four-colleges-castes-india-tibet-precolombian-america.html\">functional quadripartition<\/a>. In fact, among the Celts, the druid has a dual function: it is mage warrior in battle and wise healer after the fight. Just as <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/celtic-mythology-gandalf-time-travel-sorcerer-druid-truie-qui-file-wizard-merlin.html\">Merlin<\/a>, Gandalf and later the <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/history-medieval-europe-middle-east-america-hugues-de-payns-the-templars-gold.html\">Knights Templars<\/a> or the Shao Lin monks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The Druids, les &#8220;tout-savants&#8221; (the &#8216;all-wise&#8217;), were the initiators of the first function.

Their attributes were the belt and crosier called Lituus, as with the Romans.\u00a0 The Druids abundantly expounded on the stars and their movements, the immense expanse of the world and the earth, the nature of things, the power and the power of immortal gods and they transmitted this knowledge to the youth.&#8221;<\/em> <a href=\"#\">(source)<\/a><span class=\"note\">Julius Caesar, How.\/ Gallic War, VI\u2013XIV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the language of the birds, <em>&#8220;tout-savants&#8221; may be heard &#8220;tous avant&#8221; <\/em>(All before)&#8230; Which shows how much the druids were more important than all others.
