Swayambhunath
When this temple
was founded about 2,000 years ago, Kathmandu Valley was filled with a great
lake. According to Buddhist legend, a single perfect lotus grew in the center
of the lake. When the bodhisattva Manjusri drained the lake with a slash of his
sword, the lotus flower settled on top of the hill and magically transformed
into the stupa. Thus it is known as the Self-Created (swayambhu)
Stupa
The Buddhist temple of Swayambhunath, situated on the top
of a hill, west of Kathmandu, is one of the most popular, holy and instantly
recognizable symbols of Nepal. The temple is colloquially known as the 'monkey
temple' because of the large tribe of roving monkeys who guard the temple.
Swayambhunath Stupa is a golden spire crowning a conical
wooded hill. It is the most ancient and enigmatic of all the holy shrines in
Kathmandu Valley. It has a lofty white dome and a glittering golden spire that
are visible from all sides of the valley. Historical records found on a stone
inscription give evidence that the stupa was already an important Buddhist
pilgrimage destination by the 5th century A.D. i.e. before the coming of
Buddhism in the valley.
LUMBINI
Lumbini that means 'The Lovely One' in Sanskrit is a
famous Buddhist site in the Lumbini District Zone of Nepal. Lumbini is
considered the birthplace of Gautam Buddha. Many a times referred as 'The Light
of Asia', Buddha was the founder of Buddhism faith. His period is estimated to
be approximately between 563 and 483 BC.
According to Buddhist tradition, Maya Devi (or Mayadevi) gave birth to the Buddha
on her way to her parent's home in Devadaha in the month of May in the year 642
BC. Feeling the onset of labor pains, she grabbed hold of the branches of a
shade tree and gave birth to Siddharta Gautama, the future Buddha. The Buddha
is said to have announced, "This is my final rebirth" as he entered
the world. Buddhist tradition also has it that he walked immediately after his
birth and took seven steps, under each of which a lotus flower bloomed.
Lumbini is located in the south-central Terai of Nepal,
situated in the foothills of the Himalayas. For millions of Buddhists the world
over, it evokes a kind of holy sentiment akin to the significance of Jerusalem
to Christians and Mecca to Muslims. Lumbini is the place where Lord Buddha -
the apostle of peace, and the Light of Asia - was born in 623 B.C. In
historical terms, the region is an exquisite treasure-trove of ancient ruins
and antiquities, dating back to the pre-Christian era. The site (Lumbini Grove)
was described as a beautiful garden in the Buddha's time and still retains its
legendary charm and beauty. Both the Shakyas and Kolias Clans owned the garden
and its tranquil environs at the time of Lord Buddha's birth. King Suddhodana,
father of Buddha was of the Shakya Dynasty belonging to the Kshatriya or
Warrior Caste.
Lumbini is located 25kms east of the municipality of Kapilvastu. Kapilvastu was the seat of governance of the then kingdom of Nepal. In the year 1896, the Indo-British archaeology team discovered a great stone pillar at the site. Later that pillar was attributed to Ashoka, the Mauryan ruler and propagator of Buddhism. The records maintained by Fa Hein were also taken in to consideration in the process. For Buddhists, this is one of four pilgrimage sites based around the life of Gautam Buddha, the other three being Kushinagar, Bodh Gaya, and Sarnath. Going by its cultural, religious and historical importance, UNESCO declared Lumbini, a world heritage site in the year 1997.
The place is famous for Maya Devi temple. It is believed that the present temple has been built at the place where Queen Maya gave birth to lord Buddha. Another important structure is the Ashoka pillar. Apart from that Lumbini has ruins of various Stupas and monasteries. Then there is Pushkarni pond where Queen Maya took bath before giving birth to Buddha.
The Lumbini region comes under Lumbini Trust, an NGO. Foreign pilgrims here have constructed new temples and monasteries. The Buddhist associations of China, Myanmar and Gautami Nuns have their separate pagodas. The ones by Japan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam are under construction.
