Lumbini – Uppgötva Uppruna búddisma A beautiful morning in Pokhara and also our last, vel, after spending three peaceful days here it was time to leave for Lumbini – the birthplace of Gautam Buddha and one of the four major Buddhist pilgrimage sites – located 291 km í burtu, and leave Nepal from the Sunauli border, which is just 26 km. The distance might not be much but the mountainous terrain, zigzag roads ensures you don’t speed up/ or drive more than 60 km/hr., it can really slow you down. The view was stunning – ROLLING HILLS, terraced fields spread like a lush quilt over the landscape, quaint houses dispersed in patches – sigh, we were leaving it behind in two days. Kayde couldn’t stop shaking his hands in excitement, he was rejoicing the moment! I started to feel nausea, happens sometimes on roads like these, making it a challenging drive in Nepal. Þó, for Kayde, he was lost in slumber like he was on his bed, only in the start he got a bit fidgety but after eating food and gobbling down the tasty bananas, sold by locals on the highway, he was satisfied! We reached Lumbini only by evening, engulfed in darkness we tried to find hotels to spend the night. Each hotel board and every light bulb was covered with thousands of insects, because of the paddy fields around it, and the weather too was kind of humid. We went from one hotel to another asking for rates, there are a good amount of them, most were charging around Rs 1800 að Rs 2400, thats expensive for less than 24 klst. Finally some luck, got a good deal at Sunflower Travelers’ lodge, RS 1600 for an a/c room with complimentary breakfast and free wi-fi, although there was no signal in the room. Since we were low on cash, we had to go to an ATM in the market area, and it was filled with insects from top to the bottom, Clyde had to dust off his t-shirt and was frantically brushing his hair after coming out. Sem betur fer, for us the mosquito net came to good use for Kayde, who seemed unaffected he went for each insect fallen on the bed and gazed at the bulb. Sunflower lodge is run by few Chinese students, a friendly lot, they all wanted to play with Kayde and they gave us good service as well. The only problem, þó, was communicating with them, we had to break words and use gestures to get the message across. The complimentary breakfast was disappointing, there was bread, butter, jam and tea, heavy one that! It was our last day in Nepal, we had permit for only 10 daga, and it really seemed less, there was so much more to explore. The plan for now was to head to the huge complex built in the sacred gardens of Lumbini, also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Many temples, stupas and monasteries have been constructed in last the couple of years by various international Buddhist communities, to promote Lumbini as a center for world peace. Before we entered the complex, a colorful structure caught our eyes just close to the lodge. Tashi Rabten Ling Monastery ( Center for Buddhist Monastic Studies) is to create a place where Buddha’s teachings are protected, maintained and studied. There was nobody around, so we could peacefully take pictures of the prayer hall, the interior was like any other monastery – paintings of deities adorned the walls, ancient scripts and Buddhist texts were stacked in wooden shelves. Lumbini Sacred Garden A short walk from the monastery and we were at the ruins of the old city/ rich past of Lumbini. We hired a cycle rickshaw for Rs 300, fixed rate, that will take us around and identify the monuments. The distance is a lot, we saw a group of foreign tourists who were walking initially and by the time we reached the second site, quite a few had found themselves rickshaws. The first stop was at the Mayadevi temple situated in the sacred garden. The temple is built around ruins of the old city and shows the precise place of Buddha’s birth on a marker stone, and many devotees were offering their prayers at the spot Buddha was born. According to legends, Maya Devi was passing by the Lumbini Gardens, when she stopped to walk inside and bathed in the pool. Soon after that she felt labor pains and gave birth to the holy prince who later became the Buddha. Ljósmyndun er ekki leyfðar inni, but when we see such sites, it makes me wonder how authentic is the information, or is it just another way to draw more people and boost tourism? Questions, doubts play in my head and I don’t think we’ll ever know the truth. Adjacent to the temple is the Ashoka stone pillar supposedly erected when the King visited Lumbini in 249 BC. The pillar bears an inscription in Brahmi script identifying the site as the birthplace and granting Lumbini a tax-free status in honour of his birth, and it is followed till date. There is nothing much to the pillar but its much revered by the Buddhists. On the other end of the garden is the sacred pond called, ‘Puskarani’, believed to be the pool in which queen Maya Devi bathed just before giving birth to Buddha. There were large stretches of Bodhi trees and several groups of devotees were seated under its shade having discussions, chanting prayers, reading etc. The restored garden also have the remains of many of the ancient Stupas and monasteries dating from 2nd century BC to 8th century AD. Its believed that Buddha lived until the age of 29 in Lumbini. International Monastic zone – West side From here the rickshaw guy took us on a tour of monasteries built by Buddhist communities from various countries – some were under construction, some open to public and few were closed. Vietnam monastery incredible architecture and colours, but tourists weren’t allowed inside. Nepal monastery was still under construction, said the rickshaw guy, and he took us to the next one – French stupa for Universal Peace. Each monastery symbolises the country’s heritage, Menning, the colours, style, arkitektúr, it was different and yet connected, mjög áhugavert! The Great Drigung Kagyud Lotus Stupa or German monastery Adjacent to the French stupa is the German monastery, much more elaborate than the French one. Each person had to wash their hands and feet under the hand pump before entering the temple, even the gardener was spraying water to keep the entrance sparkling clean A skilled man painting various deities on the walls of the monastery, and isn’t it amazing – the vibrant colors and each minute detail made with such precision, really needs some talent. The statue of Buddha is elevated and below is the photograph of Dalai Lama, and the upper half of the monastery is adorned with mural paintings depicting events from Buddha’s life. The spiritual Buddhist art of Mandalapainted on the ceiling. Buddhist followers offering prayers which is similar to Jainism, of joining hands, getting on your knees and bowing in front of the idol. The surroundings of the monastery were quite pleasing and peaceful. In the next post I will take you through the East side of the Monastic zone, there is much more to come, stay tuned for more on Lumbini! Comments mjög friðsælt…..place in the world………. Bhavika Pictures Write up everything so wonderful. We made it to Sarnath,Gaya Rajgir and Nalanda in Dec.2011. Much more left to be seen. It is nice representation of environment. The bargain on price from 2400/- til 1600/- good photographs. I visited Nepal but missed Lumbini. So thanks for reminding. I will definitely plan for it now.

Lumbini – Otkrivanje podrijetlo budizma Lijepa jutra u Pokhara i naša posljednja, dobro, nakon što je proveo tri mirna dana ovdje je bilo vrijeme za odlazak u Lumbini - rodno mjesto Gautam Buddha i jedan je od četiri glavna budističkih mjesta hodočašća - nalazi 291 km, i ostaviti Nepal iz Sunauli granice, što je samo 26 km. Udaljenost možda nije puno, ali na brdovitom terenu, cik-cak ceste osigurava da ne ubrza / ili voziti više od 60 km / h., to stvarno može usporiti. Pogled je bio zapanjujući – valjanje brežuljcima, terasastim poljima proširila poput bujne jorgan preko krajolika, čudan kuće raspršena u zakrpe – uzdah, bili smo ostavljajući iza sebe u dva dana. Kayde nije mogao prestati tresti ruke u uzbuđenja, on je radosno trenutak! Počela sam se osjećati mučninu, dogodi se ponekad na cestama kao što je ova, što je izazovno pogon u Nepalu. Međutim, za Kayde, on je izgubio u sna kao da je bio na njegovom krevetu, samo u početku je dobio malo nemirnoj, ali nakon konzumacije hrane i gutanja dolje ukusne banane, prodao po mještanima na autocesti, on je bio zadovoljan! Došli smo Lumbini samo navečer, zahvatio u mraku smo pokušali naći hoteli prenoćiti. Svaki hotel pansion i svaka žarulja je pokrivena tisućama insekata, zbog rižinih polja oko nje, a vrijeme je također bio neka vrsta sparno. Otišli smo iz jednog hotela u drugi pitaju za cijene, postoji dobar iznos od njih, najviše su stupali oko rs 1800 Rs 2400, da taj skuplji za manje od 24 radno vrijeme. Napokon malo sreće, dobio dobar posao na suncokreta putnike’ loža, Rs 1600 za / c sobi s pozdravni doručak i besplatni Wi-Fi, Iako nije bilo signala u sobi. Budući da smo bili nisko na gotovinu, morali smo ići na bankomatu u području tržišta, i da je ispunjen insekata od vrha do dna, Clyde je u prah skinuo majicu i bio grčevito četkanje svoju kosu nakon izlazili. Srećom, za nas neto komarac došao u dobro iskoristiti za Kayde, koji je činilo nepromijenjen otišao je za svakog kukca pale na krevetu i zurio u žarulja. Suncokret Domom upravlja nekoliko kineskih studenata, prijateljska puno, svi su željeli da se igraju s Kayde i oni su nam dali dobru uslugu, kao i. Jedini problem, međutim, komunicira s njima, morali smo razbiti riječi i koristiti geste kako bi dobili poruku preko. Besplatan doručak je razočaravajuće, bijaše kruha, maslac, džem i čaj, teška onaj koji! To je bio naš zadnji dan u Nepalu, imali smo dozvolu za samo 10 dani, i to stvarno izgledalo manje, bilo je toliko toga za istražiti. Plan za sada je na glavu u ogroman kompleks izgrađen u svetim vrtovima Lumbini, također UNESCO-ve svjetske kulturne baštine. Mnogi hramovi, stupas i samostani izgrađeni su u posljednjem u nekoliko godina od strane raznih međunarodnih budističkih zajednica, promicati Lumbini kao centar za mir u svijetu. Prije nego što smo ušli u kompleks, šareni sastav uhvaćen naše oči samo blizu doma. Tashi Rabten Ling samostan ( Centar za budističkih redovnika studije) je stvoriti mjesto gdje su zaštićeni Buddhina učenja, održavati i studirao. Nitko nije bio okolo, tako da smo u miru mogli fotografirati molitvene dvorane, Unutrašnjost je kao i svaki drugi samostana - slike božanstava krasi zidove, Drevni skripte i budistički tekstovi su naslagane u drvenim policama. Lumbini Sveto vrt Kratka šetnja iz samostana i bili smo na ruševinama starog grada / bogate prošlosti Lumbini. Iznajmili smo ciklus rikšu za RS 300, fiksnu stopu, koji će nas odvesti okolo i identificirati spomenike. Udaljenost je mnogo, Vidjeli smo skupinu stranih turista koji su hodali na početku i tijekom vremena smo stigli na drugu stranicu, dosta su se našli rickshaws. Prva postaja bila je na Mayadevi hramu smještenom u svetom vrtu. Hram je izgrađen oko ruševine starog grada i pokazuje precizno mjesto Budinog rođenja na marker kamena, i mnogi poklonici su nudili svoje molitve na licu mjesta Buddha je rođen. Prema legendi, Maya Devi je prolazeći pored Lumbini Gardens, kad je prestao hodati unutar i okupan u bazenu. Ubrzo nakon toga se osjećala porođajni bolovi i rodila na svetom princa koji je kasnije postao Buddha. Fotografija ne smije unutar, ali kad smo vidjeli takva mjesta, čini mi se pitaju kako je vjerodostojna informacija, ili je to samo još jedan način za privući više ljudi i potaknuti turizam? Pitanja, sumnje igrati u mojoj glavi, a ja ne vjerujem da ćemo ikada znati istinu. U susjedstvu u hramu je Ashoka kameni stup navodno podignuta kada je kralj posjetio Lumbini u 249 BC. Stup ima natpis u Brahmi skripte identificira mjesto kao rodno mjesto i davanje Lumbini status bescarinski u čast njegova rođenja, i to je slijedio do danas. Ne postoji ništa toliko na stupu, ali njegova mnogo cijenjen od strane budista. Na drugom kraju vrta je sveto ribnjak zove, 'Puskarani', Vjeruje se da je bazen u kojem kraljica Maya Devi okupana neposredno prije poroda do Buddhe. Tu su bile velike proteže od Bodhi stabla i nekoliko skupina poklonika sjedili pod njegovim nijansu imaju raspravama, pjevanje molitve, čitanje i sl.. Obnovljen vrt također imaju ostatke mnogih drevnih stupa i samostana koji datiraju iz 2. stoljeća prije Krista do 8. stoljeća. Njegova vjeruje da je Buddha živio do dobi od 29 u Lumbini. Međunarodni samostanu zona - Zapadna strana Odavde dečko rickshaw nas je poveo u obilazak samostana izgradili budističkih zajednica iz raznih zemalja – neki su bili u izgradnji, Neki otvoren za javnost, a malo su zatvorena. Vijetnam samostan nevjerojatne arhitekture i boja, ali turisti nisu smjeli unutra. Nepal Samostan je još uvijek u izgradnji, , rekao je čovjek rickshaw, i on nas je odveo na sljedeću – Francuzi Stupa za Universal mir. Svaki samostan simbolizira baštinu zemlje, kultura, boje, stil, arhitektura, bilo je drugačije, a ipak povezani, very interesting! Velika Drigung Kagyud Lotus Stupa ili njemački samostan Susjedna na francuskom Stupa je njemački samostan, mnogo više razraditi od francuskog. Svaka osoba morala oprati ruke i noge pod ručnom pumpom prije ulaska u hram, čak i vrtlar je prskanje vode da bi ulaz blista Stručnjak slikarstvo božanstvima na zidovima samostana, i nije li to nevjerojatno – su jarke boje i svake minute detalj izrađen s takvom preciznošću, stvarno treba neki talent. Kip Buddhe je povišen, a ispod je fotografija Dalaj Lame, a gornja polovica samostana krasi zidne slike koja prikazuje događaje iz Budinog života. Duhovna Budistička umjetnost Mandalanaslikao na stropu. Sljedbenici budizma nude molitve koja je slična Džainizam, pridruživanja ruke, dobivanje na koljena i klanjajući se pred idolom. Okolica samostana bili prilično ugodan i miran.U sljedeći post ću vas provesti kroz istočnoj strani monaškim zoni, tu je mnogo više da dođu, Stay tuned za više informacija o Lumbini! Komentari very peaceful…..place in the world………. Bhavika Slike Napisati sve tako divno. Uspjeli smo se Sarnath,Rajgir i Nalanda stil u Dec.2011. Mnogo više lijevo da se vidi. Lijepo je zastupljenost okoliša. Jeftino na cijeni od 2400/- na 1600/- dobre fotografije. Posjetio sam Lumbini u Nepalu, ali promašio. Pa hvala za podsjećajući. Ja definitivno će plan za to sada.
