Best Answer

In 2010, it is the year 2553 for Buddhists. To convert the Western calendar to the Buddhist one, simply add 543 years.

Answer:

Buddhists do not have separate year total like Christian, Jewish or ancient Romans. This is due, in part, to the lack of specific date (year) for the Buddha's birth and in part as the need to pin down ephemeral matters such as a accurate count of the passage of years is not a high priority. Instead they use the year as used in the location in which they live. As the most common system is the "Common Era" notation most Buddhists would refer to it. This is 2010 CE
