Swayambhunath Stupa.
Swoyambhu
literally means 'Self-Existent One.'
Swoyambhunath is believed to have been
established more than 2,500 years ago. An
inscription dated 460 A.D. states that the
construction was carried out by King Manadeva.
By the thirteenth century Swoyambhunath had
developed into an important Buddhist learning
site. The history of Kathmandu Valley is said to
have started with the beginning of Swoyambhu.
The largest image of the Sakyamuni Buddha in
Nepal is in a monastery next to the Stupa.
Behind the hilltop is a temple dedicated to
Manjusri of Saraswati - the goddess of learning.
Statues and shrines of Buddhist and Hindu
deities dot the Stupa complex. Large numbers of
Buddhists and Hindus alike visit Swoyambhunath.
Swoyambhu is perhaps the best place to observe
the religious harmony in Nepal. The Stupa is
atop a hill, and requires considerable walk.
There is also a road that leads almost to the
base of the statue.
Namo Buddha Stupa.
One of the unsurpassably supreme sacred sites
known as the Three Stupas in Nepal is Tagmo
Lüjin (lit. "the place where the future Buddha
sacrificed his body to a tigress"). It is the
very sacred place where our teacher, the perfect
and supreme Buddha-at that time still on the
path of learning-offered his own body without
regret to a tigress suffering from great hunger.
What follows is a history of this supreme and
distinguished sacred site, whose location is
unmistaken based on the clear identification
given in the Sutra Requested by the Tigress and
so forth.
Boudhanath Stupa.
Bodnath Stupa is the largest stupa in Nepal. It
is also the center of Tibetan culture in
Kathmandu and rich in Buddhist symbolism and
sacred importance. The stupa is located in the
town of Boudha on the eastern outskirts of
Kathmandu. Bodnath was probably built in the
14th century after the Mughal invasions; various
interesting legends are told regarding the
reasons for its construction. After the arrival
of thousands of Tibetans following the 1959
Chinese invasion, the temple has become one of
the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism.
Today it remains an important place of
pilgrimage and meditation for Tibetan Buddhists
and local Nepalis, as well as a popular tourist
site.
Kopan Monastery..
Just north of the ancient Buddhist town of
Boudhanath is the Kopan hill (pictured left),
rising up out of the terraced fields of the
Kathmandu valley and visible for miles.
Dominated by a magnificent Bodhi tree, it was
once the home of the astrologer to the king of
Nepal.It was to this hill that these lamas first
came with their first Western students in 1969.
Kopan Monastery had its beginnings in the
Solukhumbu region of the Himalayan mountains. In
1971 Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the reincarnation of
the Lawudo Lama, a yogi of the tiny hamlet of
Lawudo, fulfilled the promise of the previous
Lawudo Lama to start a monastic school for the
local children. The school was called called it
Mount Everest Center. Twenty five monks moved
down from the mountain to Kopan in 1971 -
prompted by the harsh climate at an altitude of
4000 am, which made study barely possible in
winter.
Now Kopan is a thriving monastery of 360 monks,
mainly from Nepal and Tibet, and a spiritual
oasis for hundreds of visitors yearly from
around the world. Nearby is Khachoe Ghakyil Ling
Nunnery, home to 380 nuns. Both the monastery
and the nunnery are under the spiritual guidance
of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and the care of the
abbot, Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lhundrup Rigsel. And
it is the wellspring of the FPMT, a network of
some 140 centers and activities world-wide,
themselves expressions of the Buddha activity of
Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
Lumbini.
Lumbini, is situated at the foothills of the
Himalayas in modern Nepal. In the Buddha's time,
Lumbini was a beautiful garden full of green and
shady Sal trees (Shorea). The garden and its
tranquil environs were owned by both the
ShaAsoka pillarkyas and Kolias clans. King
Suddhodana, father of Gautama Buddha was of the
Shakya dynasty belonging to the Kshatriya or the
warrior caste. Maya Devi, his mother, gave birth
to the child on her way to her parent's home in
Devadaha while taking rest in Lumbini under a
sal tree in the month of May in the year 642
B.C. The beauty of Lumbini is described in Pali
and Sanskrit literature. Maya Devi it is said
was spellbound to see the natural grandeur of
Lumbini. While she was standing, she felt labor
pains and catching hold of a drooping branch of
a Sal tree, the baby, the future Buddha, was
born.
The bas relief above [ click to view ] depicts
Maya Devi with her right hand holding on to a
branch of a sal tree with a newborn child
standing upright on a lotus petal, shedding an
oval halo, around his head, while two celestial
figures pour water and lotuses from vessels of
heaven as indicated by the delineation of
clouds. This nativity scene was installed by
Malla Kings of the Naga dynasty from about the
11th to 15th Century in the Karnali zone of
Nepal..
In 249 BC, when the Emperor Ashoka visited
Lumbini it was a flourishing village. Ashoka
constructed four stupas and a stone pillar with
a figure of a horse on top. The stone pillar
bears an inscription which, in English
translation, runs as follows: "King Piyadasi (Ashoka),
beloved of devas, in the 20 year of the
coronation, himself made a royal visit, Buddha
Sakyamuni having been born here, a stone railing
was built and a stone pillar erected to the
Bhagavan having been born here, Lumbini village
was taxed reduced and entitled to the eight part
(only)". |
