Interestingly enough, it's not a typo pertaining to the quote. I directly quoted from the book. I was aware of that before I published the article and was editing the essay.
I think the thing is, is that Nietzsche wrote in archaic German and English. So sometimes the exact spelling of words 140 years ago don't perfectly translate to the spelling of words nowadays.
The claim that Buddhism considers this life on earth to be unimportant, and we ought to look forward to entering nirvana after death, is lacking support. It's possible that someone calling themselves a Buddhist might have said this, but it's not found in anything the Buddha taught.
Canonically, the Buddha directed people's attention and efforts to present moment experience. That's the only place where human activity will bear fruit. Nirvana (nibbāna in Pali) is just one of the epithets for a state free from greed, hatred, and delusion. The world is real, but wrongly grasped.
I'm not an expert in Buddhism. 2. I wouldn't say that Buddhism places no value upon life on Earth. However, the crux of Buddhism is Nirvana a heavenly state, that is a state of existence different than how we typically live on Earth. This more than ample support for this.
3) The morality that Overmen create could serve the common interest by building a community or civilization around them. Nietzsche discusses this in his last book "Will to Power." He discusses as a possible solution to rebuild civilization after Western Civilization inevitably collapses.
To answer your questions in one answer...Yes, I think Nietzsche was referring to the present time when humans can regard themselves as being their own Gods. When he brought up animalisation, that makes sense since we as humans are also animals.
Nietzsche did talk about Overmen among the unevolved humans. Overmen would be viewed as someone to study and follow, like Goethe.
You have a typo in the quote.

I do appreciate your exactness though.
