Birth place of Buddha


                   Lumbini is the place where the Buddha,was born. It is the place which should be visited and seen by a person of devotion and which should cause awareness and apprehension of the nature of impermanence.
The birthplace of the Gautama Buddha, Lumbini, is the Mecca of every Buddhist, being one of the four holy places of Buddhism. It is said in the Parinibbana Sutta that Buddha himself identified four places of future pilgrimage: the sites of his birth, enlightenment, first discourse, and death. All of these events happened outside in nature under trees. While there is not any particular significance in this, other than it perhaps explains why Buddhists have always respected the environment and natural law.Lumbini is the place where lord Buddha was born, so it is an important Buddhist tour destination. Lumbini is One of the four pilgrimage sites mentioned in the Mahaparinibbana Sutta. Lumbini located near the foothills of Himalaya in Nepal is a beautiful destination. As it is the birth place of Lord Buddha, there are many festivals which celebrate the life and teachings of the Buddha.Lumbini is the perfect place to go to if you are into cultural, archaeological and religious treasures. With the number of stupa, meditation grounds temples, courtyards and more, a walk in Lumbini is a walk with Buddha. Enter the birthplace of one of the greatest man of world religions - Siddharta Gautama, founder of Buddhism - and be captivated by its serene environment and meditate and reflect with its outmost tranquility and peaceful atmosphere.
