Buddhist Sites in India: Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Lumbini
Renowned Buddhist Festivals: Buddhist Jayanati, Sindhu Darshan Fesival, Hemis Festival
India, the land of Gautam Buddha attracts the devotees all
around the world and the religious sites of those times have still become
the places of monumental importance, whether it is Lumbini, the birthplace
of Prince Siddhartha Gautama or the Bodh Gaya where Siddhartha Gautama
became the Buddha under the Bodhi tree or Sarnath, where Buddha gave his
first significant sermons. These are not mere the centres of monumental
importance but a stage of excellence and learning.
"You are your own guide. You are your own savior"
Among all these sounds, the mood remains somber. This demeanor can only
be that of a Buddhist Monastery. Since its beginning in India over 2500
years ago, with the birth of Siddhartha Gautama - the Buddha, the "Enlightened
One", Buddhist religion grew rapidly, as the missionaries and
pilgrims traveled all across the world, spreading the teachings of Lord
Buddha. India believes that a truly spiritual person is the greatest of
all men, similarly a truly spiritual country is the greatest of all
countries. Therefore, Buddhism in India has all those qualities that is
capable to invoke an inward search for truth and it believes that every
human being can become a Buddha by possessing the same wisdom that he
himself possessed.
