Lumbini is a sacred place for Buddhists from all over the world, standing on an equal footing with holy places sacred to other world religions. This is the land where Lord Gautam Buddha was born and spent his good youthful years.
The area consists or several old sacred places and monuments like the Asoka Pillar that contains Nepal’s oldest inscriptions, the holy Mayadevi temple, the sacred Bodhi tree and the holy Puskarini pond along with many monasteries that are built in the most splendid architectural fashion. The well-preserved artifacts there present the opportunity to imagine what life was like, here thousands of years ago, before Lord Buddha attained enlightenment and was just a mere prince who did not know about life’s struggles. The fact that the sacred place and temple here have managed to survive up till now is a miraculous feat in itself but their significance in the Buddhist culture enhances their attraction.
You will be able to study the deep meaning of life and virtue visiting through several gumbas, bihars, and monasteries here in lumbini.
