Gautam Buddha is also the light of the world. Born and brought up in the aristocratic family of Shakyas, Buddha renounced the luxurious prince life and with years-long meditation, mendicancy, and asceticism to pursue the spiritual goals and enlightened the world with peace. The prior Siddartha Gautam later transformed into Buddha which literally stands for the ‘enlighten one’ or ‘awakened one’.
The sphere of nothingness and the entangled living of humans on the materialistic world is spiritually defined by Buddha and radiates the way to attain mental peace with his wonderful meditational practices. Gautam Buddha then gave four noble truths enlightened from his years-long meditation and renouncement of the earlier royal life. The first noble truth is there is suffering on this planet and it is a part of human life.
Second noble truth is that suffering comes from craving, desire and attachment. The third noble truth is that peace and liberation can be attained by eliminating the desires and cravings and the fourth noble truth is people can overcome desire and ignorance by following an eightfold path that leads to enlightenment, wisdom and salvation.
The life of Gautam Buddha showcases a lot of things and the earlier life of Buddha can be explored around the Lumbini and its surrounding places. More than 60 excavation sites are believed to be associated with the life of Buddha in Lumbini, and some of the excavation sites including the Lumbini district itself are the major Buddhist pilgrimage sites.
The Maya Devi temple, Marker Stone, Ashokan pillar, Myanmar Golden Temple, World Peace Pagoda, Dharma Swami Maharaja Buddha Vihar, China temple, Lumbini Museum and many other places in the surrounding of Lumbini gives the perfect glimpses on the life of Gautam buddha and are wonderful Buddhist pilgrimages.
There lies an excavation in the 27 Km west of Lumbini where the Tilaurakot Palace has been discovered. Siddartha Gautam spent his childhood and earlier days as a prince in this palace. The ruins of the palace and the other structures found in this area still gives the perfect insights on the earlier survival of Buddha. The Kudan or Nirodharma also hosts the remains of Stupas where Siddhartha Gautam’s father met Gautam Buddha after his enlightenment for the first time.
Another place to visit is Ramgram Stupa which still showcases the intact Buddha relics. This is the place where Buddha attained Mahaparinirvana and his body was cremated. This is the living spiritual centre that is closely associated with the life of Buddha and a major pilgrimage site.
The Lumbini district is entirely a perfect place to explore the Buddha’s lifestyle. The Gotihawa in Lumbini is the birthplace of Krakucchanda Buddha and a pilgrimage site. This place was in ancient times known by the name of Khemavati. Another place to explore in Kapilvastu is Niglihawa which is the birthplace of Kanakmuni Buddha.
Emperor Ashoka, during his movement to put pillars in multiple places, erected pillars here with inscriptions. There is another place called Sagarhawa which is the place where around 70,000 Shakyas were massacred by King Virudhaka. Because of the noble nature and non-violent belief of Shakyas, they didn’t strike back.
The Lumbini offers the perfect pilgrimage and offers an amazing spiritual experience. The life and teachings of Buddha itself are worth exploring and wonderful. Furthermore, the Manjushree Cave (Milarepa Cave), Asura Cave and Namobuddha in the outskirts of Kathmandu valley are other Buddhist pilgrimage sites.
The wonderful Buddhist Pilgrimage sites offer an amazing experience in Nepal.
