Lumbini

Tania Akter (Sumi)

Lumbini is a remarkable destination that offers a deep connection to history and spirituality. As the birthplace of Lord Buddha, the peaceful surroundings, ancient ruins, and the Maya Devi Temple create a sense of tranquility that is hard to match. The gardens are beautifully maintained, perfect for reflection and meditation. Walking through the sacred grounds, you can almost feel the wisdom and serenity in the air. While the area is spiritually enriching, more modern amenities.

20240611pm: 1. Mahamaya Temple is located in Lumbini Park. Lumbini is a Buddhist holy place in Nepal. It is the birthplace of Buddha Sakyamuni. It is a garden built by Sakyamuni's father King Suddhodana for his wife Queen Maya 2,500 years ago. It was selected into the World Cultural Heritage List in 1997. The existing protection park was built in 1986 and expanded into a concentrated display area of Buddhist buildings in many countries, covering an area of about 8 square kilometers. The scenic area is divided into three major areas: Mahamaya Temple, temple areas of various countries, and green squares. It is a good place to worship Buddha, pray, learn humanities, and take photos. In history, there are footprints of celebrities such as Sakyamuni, Ashoka, Xuanzang, and Faxian. 2. Mahamaya Temple is the birthplace of Sakyamuni. In 563 BC (the ninth year of King Ling of Zhou during the Spring and Autumn Period), Mahamaya of Kapilavastu in northern India passed by this garden when she was returning to her parents' home. She was attracted by the beautiful scenery and stayed here. The next day, she gave birth to Gautama Siddhartha. Because he was a member of the Sakya clan, he was later honored as Sakyamuni, which means "the saint of the Sakya clan". After that, believers built a temple here. Later, the temple was destroyed and only the foundation remained. The current temple area was rebuilt in 1990 and took 3 years to complete. From the outside to the inside, there are: ① Shoe storage: You have to take off your shoes when entering the temple. The shoe storage rack and foot washing faucet are located outside the temple. The tour guide said that there are professional shoe thieves here, so the driver was arranged to help everyone watch. In summer, the floor tiles are very hot in the sun ② Main building: a white square single-story building. Photography is prohibited indoors. The lowest level is the ruins of the ancient temple. A pedestrian corridor is built around the ruins. In the middle is the birthplace of Sakyamuni. The footprints of Sakyamuni are covered by a glass cover on the ground. The soles of the feet are relatively large. There is a mat next to it for meditation. It only takes 5-10 minutes. In 403 (the second year of Daheng in the Eastern Jin Dynasty), the monk Faxian came here for pilgrimage and was recorded in the "Biography of Faxian". He was the first person in my country to come here for pilgrimage since records. ③ The ruins of the original temple: dark red, it is the original stone foundation from 2,500 years ago, both indoors and outdoors of the main building. The entire foundation outdoors is staggered, with a good visual effect. There are no protective measures for the ruins, but you cannot step on it. A sign prohibiting short video shooting "No Tik Tok" has also been erected. ④ The twin sala trees: thick ancient trees located outside the main building. Sakyamuni was born under the twin Sahasrara trees. The original trees have long since died, but this tree is also very old. The sunken part of the trunk facing the main building has become a natural Buddhist shrine. Many of the blessing trees around are hung with colorful flags, similar to the colorful prayer flags in Tibet. In the order of blue, white, red, green and yellow, they represent the blue sky, white clouds, flames, green water and yellow earth. ⑤ Bathing pool: A large square pool of 10 square meters, where Mahamaya bathed in the past. There are fish and turtles in the pool. On the shore is a pigeon feeding platform ⑥ Ashoka Pillar: It was built around 200 BC by Ashoka, the emperor of the Maurya Dynasty of India and one of the "100 emperors who influenced the world", when he came here to worship. It is 7.79 meters high and more than 2 meters in circumference. In 635 (the ninth year of the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty), the monk Xuanzang saw the Ashoka Pillar when he came here to worship and recorded it in "The Great Tang Records on the Western Regions". It collapsed later and was discovered in 1896.
