Before I met the Movement I didn’t have really toughed about the birthplace of the Buddha, yes, I lived and I still life, let’s say try to live according the teachings of the Tatagatha (Buddha), the Dharma and the place where Shakmuni Gautema , the later Buddha, seemed in my opinion not so important. But once I had contact with the movement and when I began to play an active role, I became aware that the birthplace of the Buddha and the Movement could really have their importance, and more than one.

Nine low-intensity blasts took place early on Sunday morning – leaving two monks injured – in quick succession at the 1,500-year-old Mahabodhi temple, which is annually visited by millions of pilgrims from all over the world. The temple’s sanctum sanctorum and the Bodhi Tree, under which Lord Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment, did not suffer any damage in the blasts which shook the holy town. Anil Goswami, Union Home Secretary of India, said in New Delhi that serial explosions inside and outside Mahabodhi Temple complex were a terror attack and NIA and NSG teams have been sent for post-blasts investigations. Security has been beefed at the temple and adjoining areas, Bihar police chief DGP Abhayanand told reporters, adding CCTV footage was being examined for leads to the terrorists. The explosions, the first of its type to target the town and the temple, a UNESCO heritage site, took place between 5:30 and 5:58 am. The explosives were set off by timers. Buddha is revered as a Messenger of Peace. He is known as the Light of Asia but is also the Light of the World as his message of peace and non-violence has become more relevant. “All of us can learn from the Buddha’s spirit of compassion. His timeless teachings can help us to navigate the many global problems we face today. The need for global solidarity may seem like a modern concept, but it is not. More than 2,500 years ago, Buddha taught that nothing exists in isolation, and that all phenomena are interdependent. Just as profoundly, he taught that we cannot be happy as long as others suffer and that when we do reach out, we discover the best in ourselves.” said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Here is the bathing tank of the Sakyas, the water of which is bright and clear as a mirror, and the surface covered with a mixture of flowers. To the north of this 24 or 25 paces there is an Asoka-flower tree, which is now decayed: this is the place where Bodhisattva was born on the eighth day of the second half of the same month, corresponding to the fifteenth day of the third month with us. East from this is a stupa built by Asoka-raja, on the spot where the two dragons bathed the body of the prince. When Bodhisattva was born, he walked without assistance in the direction of the four quarters, seven paces in each direction, and said, “I am the only lord in heaven and earth; from this time forth my births are finished.“ Where his feet had trod there sprang up great lotus flowers. Moreover, two dragons sprang forth, and, fixed in the air, poured down the one a cold and the other a warm water stream from his mouth, to wash the prince.

While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed “the world’s most famous equation”), he received the 1921Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect“. The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory. Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanicswith the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led to the development of his special theory of relativity. He realized, however, that the principle of relativity could also be extended to gravitational fields, and with his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on the general theory of relativity. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led to his explanations of particle theoryand the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole. Great scientist Einstein’s writings on religion are also very important and this is one of his small piece on Buddhism.] “Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and spiritual; and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. “If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.

This was followed by a UNDP consultant mission in December 1969, which led to a report that established the basis for further planning around Lumbini. In 1970, the International Committee for the Development of Lumbini (ICDL) was set up comprising initially of 13 members and later expanded to 16 member states. The initial member states were Afghanistan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Later, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Republic of Korea also joined. At the national level, the Lumbini Development Committee was formed. ICDL initiated the preparation of the Master Plan for Lumbini, which was conceptualized by Kenzo Tange starting from 1972. The Kenzo Tange Master Plan was finalized and approved in 1978.

Even small children like to be appreciated, cared and loved. All grown up people have tendency to be appreciated and respected for anything they do. We all crave for appreciation and hence do much social work, volunteering work, write, sing, speak etc. etc. How about our National PRIDE & RESPECT in the world? We definitely would love to get RESPECT for the motherland and hence, the PETITION was started. We started the PETITION: “Promote: Buddha was born in Nepal & Mt. Everest is in Nepal (www.nepalesepride.org)” in July, 2012 with confidence that we will collect 1,000,000 signatures from around the world and correct the fact that has been recorded wrong. Over seven billion people in the world will know these facts about NEPAL (Never Ending Peace And Love), the country that lies between India and China as many people in the world have never heard of Nepal even though they know Lord Buddha’s teachings and Mt.

I said, “Tathastu (Amen)” and we hugged each other again. This time we had different feeling than before.

The Buddha is revered as a Messenger of Peace. He is also known as the Light of Asia who is actually the Light of the World as his message of peace and non-violence has become more relevant as the world is facing many violence problems today. The world today has become more violent than ever before. Therefore, it was decided to spread the messages of the Buddha all over the world by observing Lumbini-Kapilvastu Day every year.

In Sanskrit, Lumbini means ‘the lovely’. It was the family home of his mother, Mayadevi, and she returned here from Kapilavastu (25 km east of Lumbini) to give birth to Siddhartha Gautama, later the Buddha (‘Enlightened One’). The site was described by the Chinese pilgrim Fa Xian and re-discovered in 1896. The sacred pool had earth banks at the time of its re-discovery.

This decision is, undoubtedly, very important and most of Nepalese are welcoming and praising as there are lots of misinformation all over the world on Buddha’s birth place. And also it is decided to keep photos of Mayadevi, Ashoka Pillar and Lumbini in a note of NRS 100. There is no problem for the Nepalese people to understand it, but as India is faking Lumbini and many countries have course books mentioning Buddha’s birth place not Nepal but India. Therefore, I would like to request to write “Lumbini, Nepal: The Birth Place of Lord Buddha” and only this could be useful and helpful to dismiss the misinformation in some extent.

हैसियतले नागरिकीय दायित्व निर्बाह गर्ने क्रममा के कसरी सहयोग गर्न सकिन्छ भन्ने बिषयमा केन्द्रित भएर छलफल भएको छ । उक्त छलफलमा लुम्बिनी-कपिलवस्तु दिवस अभियानका बिस्व सल्लाहकार डा कबिताराम श्रेष्ठ, लुम्बिनी-कपिलवस्तु दिवस अभियानका बिस्व संयोजक रामकुमार श्रेष्ठ, लुम्बिनी-कपिलवस्तु दिवस अभियान अस्ट्रेलिया राष्ट्रिय संयोजक एबं बुद्ध दर्शन समितिका अध्यक्ष निमा ग्याल्जे शेर्पा ‘गोपर्मा’, NINFA एबं

जयन्ति सिड्नीमा धुमधामका साथ सम्पन्न भएको छ । अस्ट्रेलियामा रहेका बिभिन्न ६ वटा संस्थाहरुले संयुक्त रुपमा यहि ६ मे बुद्ध जयन्तिको दिन बुद्ध पुजा अर्चना , बिपस्यना ध्यान , लुम्बिनी भ्रमण बर्ष २०१२ लाई प्रबर्द्धन गर्ने सामाग्रीहरुको प्रदर्शन ,फोटो प्रदर्शनी , शान्ति र्याली , रक्तदान कार्यक्रम ,बुद्ध कप सकर प्रतियोगिता , बुद्धकप भलिबल प्रतियोगिताका साथै छेलो हान्ने रोमान्चकारी प्रतियोगिता सहित सो कार्यक्रम सम्पन्न गरिएको छ । कार्यक्रमका प्रमुख अतिथी ,न्यु साउथ वेल्स अस्ट्रेलियाका लागि महाबाणिज्यदूत दिपक खड्काले आजको युद्ध र हिंसा ग्रस्त समाजमा गौतम बुद्धले दिनु भएको शान्ति , अहिंसा , प्रेम र करुणाको संदेश अझ बढी सार्थक भएको बताउदै लुम्बिनी कपिलबस्तु दिवस भियानले आफूलाई लुम्बिनी प्रबर्द्धनको लागि घच्घच्याएको बताउनु भयो । कार्यक्रमका बिशेष अतिथी लुम्बिनी कपिलबस्तु दिवस बिश्व अभियान समितीको बिश्व समितीका सल्लाहकार डा कविता राम श्रेष्ठले शान्तिका अग्रदूत भगवान गौतम बुद्धले दिएको शान्तिको सन्देशलाई बिश्व सामु फैलाउने प्रमुख दायित्व हाम्रै हो भन्दै , गौतम बुद्ध जन्मेको पवित्र भुमी लुम्बिनीको जगेर्ना गर्ने कर्तब्य पनि हामी नेपालीहरुको नै भएको बताउदै सबै नेपालीहरुलाई जागरुक हुन आव्हान गर्नु भयो । नेपाल सरकारले मनाइ रहेको लुम्बिनी भ्रमण बर्ष २०१२ लाई प्रबर्द्धन गर्दै हामी प्रबासी नेपाली हरुले पनि देश बिकासमा सके जति सहभागी हुन् उहाँले अपिल गर्नु भयो । कार्यक्रमलाई सम्बोधन गर्दै अर्का बिशेष अतिथि लुम्बिनी कपिलबस्तु दिवस बिश्व अभियानका बिश्व संयोजक रामकुमार श्रेष्ठले यो अभियानको शुरु गरिनु पर्नाका कारण, विकास, औचित्य आदिमाथि प्रकाश पार्नु भएको थियो । उहाँले नेपाललाई माया गर्ने हरेक नेपालीले आफ्नो रास्ट्रियता र पहिचान गाँसिएको गौतम बुद्ध, उहाँ दिनु भएको उपदेशलाई आत्मसात गर्नु साथै उहाँ जन्मिनु भएको जन्मस्थलको प्रबर्द्धन गर्नु कर्तब्य भएको बताउनुभयो । बिस्वभरि बुद्ध जयन्ती मनाउनुको आफ्नै किसिमको बहु आयामिक अर्थ र महत्व हुँदाहुँदै पनि यस्तो पावन दिनमा बुद्धको सन्देशका उद्धेस्य प्राप्तीका लागि सहयोगी हुने केही न केही आचार र बिचार ब्यबहारमा उतार्न प्रतिबद्धता जाहेर गर्नुले बुद्धप्रति व्याबहारिक रुपमा आदर गरेको ठहरिने भएकोले त्यस्तो प्रतिबद्धता जाहेर गर्नुको अझ महत्व हुने बताउनु भयो । Read the rest of this entry » Posted in समाचार | Leave a Comment » आइफल टावरलाई साक्षी राखेर बुद्धको सन्देश Posted by Ram Kumar Shrestha on May 7, 2012 पर्यटकको भिडमभिड लाग्थ्यो सधैं

पन्तले भने, ‘फोटो तथा भिडियोका माध्यमबाट स्पष्ट पार्न चाहेको हुँ ।’ निर्मल श्रेष्ठ हङकङ, वैशाख २४ – लुम्बिनी भ्रमण वर्ष २०१२ घोषणा भएको चार महिना बितिसक्दा समेत प्रवर्द्धनका लागि सरकारी निकाय उदासिन भइरहेका बेला एक सञ्चारकर्मी लुम्बिनी चिनाउन हङकङ आइपुगेका छन्, तस्बिरहरू लिएर । तीन वर्षअघि बुद्धजयन्तीकै दिन लुम्बिनीबाट सुरु चेतन पन्तको प्रदर्शनी यात्रा काठमाडौँ र थाइल्यान्ड हुँदै यहाँ आइपुगेको हो

In Sanskrit, Lumbini means ‘the lovely’. It was the family home of his mother, Mayadevi, and she returned here from Kapilavastu (25 km east of Lumbini) to give birth to Siddhartha Gautama, later the Buddha (‘Enlightened One’). The site was described by the Chinese pilgrim Fa Xian and re-discovered in 1896.The sacred pool had earth banks at the time of its re-discovery.

यति परसम्म सोच्ने बौद्विक विकास २६ साले ती युवाहरुमा कहाँ पाइनु ? तिनले त ठिटौले आवेगमा, केही पाश्चात्य बिटल र विट्निकहरुको अनि केही मात्रामा कलकत्ताको ‘हङ्ग्री जेनेरेसन’का युवाहरुको मिसमास अनुकरण गरेका थिए । ती सबै केही समय नेपाली कला साहित्यमा केही हुनुको रुपमा देखापरे र अन्तत ः अभियानका सबैजसो सदस्यहरुले क्रमश त्यसलाई छोड्दै गएपछि कविताराम एक्लै अस्वीकृत अभियानलाई विचार र चिन्तनको भारी बोकाउने प्रयत्नमा लाग्दै आए । उनले आफ्ना कविता,कथा,नाटक,उपन्यास आदि विधागत सिर्जनामा अस्वीकृत विचारको छाप त्यसपछि लगाउँदै आएका छन् । त्यसबाहेक उनले नेपाली भाषा साहित्य जगत्मा अपुरस्कृत अतः अस्वीकृत स्रष्टाका कृितलाई पुरस्कृत गर्ने शैलीद्वारा पनि अस्वीकृत विचारलाई निरन्तरता दिँदै आएका छन् । त्यही निरन्तरतामा उनको नवीन प्रयत्न बनेर आएको छ उपन्यास ‘महाभिनिष्क्रमणका अस्वीकृत पाइलाहरु’ पनि । ‘महाभिनिष्क्रमणका अस्वीकृत पाइलाहरुलाई’बुद्धका जीवनमा आधारित अनुसन्धानात्मक उपन्यास भनिएको छ । नेपाली साहित्यको औपन्यासिक परम्पराका क्रममा जीवनीपरक एवम् एेितहासिक उपन्यासहरुको भन्दा यो पृथक् चिनारीका साथ देखा परेको छ। Read the rest of this entry » Posted in लेख / रचना | Leave a Comment » प्रधानन्त्रीको कार्यालयबाट मन्त्रालयहरुलाई अभियानका सुझाबहरु कार्यन्वयनका लागि निर्देशन Posted by Ram Kumar Shrestha on May 5, 2012 लुम्बिनी-कपिलवस्तु दिवस अभियानले तेश्रो लुम्बिनी-कपिलवस्तु दिवस मनाउने क्रममा नेपालमा आयोजना गरेको “लुम्बिनी बिकास: संभाबना र चुनौतिहरु” बिषयक अन्तराष्ट्रिय संगोस्ठीपस्चात सरकारका तर्फबाट लुम्बिनीको सन्दर्भमा देखा परेका समस्या समाधानका खातिर कार्यान्वयन गरिनु पर्ने थुप्रै सुझाब सहित तयार पारेको प्रतिबेदन प्रधानमन्त्री, वृहत लुम्बिनी विकास राष्ट्रिय निर्देशक समिति, बिभिन्न मन्त्री र पार्टी कार्यालयहरुलाई बुझाएको थियो । यही बैशाख ६ गते प्रधानमन्त्री कार्यालयबाट पर्यटन तथा नागरिक उड्ययन मन्त्रालय र संघीय मामिला, संबिधानसभा, संसदीय ब्यबस्था तथा संस्कृति मन्त्रालयलाई प्रधानमन्त्रीको कार्यालयबाट अभियानले पेश गरेको प्रतिबेदनमा भएका संबन्धित मन्त्रालयसंग संबन्धित कार्यन्वयनयोग्य बुँदाहरु कार्यन्वयन गर्न आदेश सहित पत्र पठाएको छ । Read the rest of this entry » Posted in समाचार | Leave a Comment » Movement Profile Link Posted by Ram Kumar Shrestha on May 5, 2012 To go through Lumbini-Kapilvastu Day Movement profile please click here Posted in News | Leave a Comment » अभियानको प्रतिबेदन अन लाइन लिंक Posted by Ram Kumar Shrestha on May 5, 2012 लुम्बिनी-कपिलवस्तु दिवस अभियानले तेश्रो लुम्बिनी-कपिलवस्तु दिवस मनाउने क्रममा नेपालमा आयोजना गरेको “लुम्बिनी बिकास: संभाबना र चुनौतिहरु” बिषयक अन्तराष्ट्रिय संगोस्ठीपस्चात सरकारका तर्फबाट लुम्बिनीको सन्दर्भमा देखा परेका समस्या समाधानका खातिर कार्यान्वयन गरिनु पर्ने सुझाब सहित तयार पारेको प्रतिबेदन अन लाइन लिंक। To read easily please click Full-Screen View Posted in समाचार | Leave a Comment » Invitation in Buddha Jayanti Program Posted by Ram Kumar Shrestha on May 2, 2012 “Peace comes from within.
