The Buddhist calender is used mostly in Thailand, Burma, Laos and other South East Asian countries. There is a 543 years difference between the Buddhist calendar and the Gregorian calendar. Year 2011 in Europe is year 2554 in Thailand.
The difference being is that the Buddhist calender starts at the birth of The Buddha, which is supposed to be about 563 BCE, but the exact date is in question.
Answer:
Buddhism does not have a specific year numbering system like the Christians dating from the birth of their Jesus Christ, Judaism's dating from the creation of the world or the Moslems dating from the year of Muhammad's arrival at the city of Medina.
