[Lumbini, Nepal, the birthplace of Buddha] The sacred origin of Lumbini, where you can feel the beginning of Buddhism

The Birthplace of Lord Buddha in Lumbini is a place that Buddhists from all over the world call their spiritual home. When you stand here, the air brings to life the eternal story of the birth of Shakyamuni in 623 BC. This place, where everything is gathered, including the pillars erected by King Ashoka, ruins from over 2,500 years ago, and a modern peace prayer tower, is a sacred place where you can truly feel Buddhism. 👀Highlights✨ Mayadevi Temple and Sacred Scenery🏯 The Mayadevi Temple, built on ruins discovered in the 6th century BC, is also home to the sacred pond Pushkarini, which is said to be the birthplace of Buddha. There is a pond where Queen Maya is said to have been bathed in her first bath, and reliefs depicting the birth are placed there. It is the perfect spot for quiet meditation and prayer. King Ashoka's Stone Pillar and Carved Evidence 🪨 Right next to the temple, a stone pillar erected by King Ashoka (3rd century BC) still stands. The inscription in Brahmi script clearly states that "This is the birthplace of Gautama Buddha," proving its foundation as a Buddhist ruin  . You can directly feel the weight of history and faith intersecting from this single pillar. Temples from around the world gather and invite you to pray 🛕 The sanctuary of Lumbini is lined with temples from various countries, including China, Japan, Myanmar, Thailand, and Korea. This "Birthplace of Lord Buddha" is the center of the pilgrimage route, where the faith and culture of each country intersect, and it has become a symbol of peace and harmony  . If you walk slowly, the message of peace that resonates in the hearts of travelers will naturally seep into your mind. Time to face yourself in a sacred garden 🌳 The ruins area has been developed as a "sacred garden" and is equipped with walking paths surrounded by trees and flowers. Morning prayers and meditation at dusk - the experience of the air changing with time gives you a sense of connecting with yourself across time and space.
