Burmese Buddhist Temple

Shravasti is currently located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Shravasti is referred to as Savatthi in Pali history. Of the 16 Mahajanapadas, Shravasti was the capital of Kaushal Mahajanapada. This city was situated on the banks of the river Achiravati which is presently called Rapti River. The city can be considered one of the most prominent Buddhist sites in the Buddhist circuit as Lord Buddha spent 25 of the 45 vassavas here.The best name among the donors in Pali history is Sudatta. This businessman was a resident of Shravasti. Later he became a follower of Buddhism. In history, he became famous as Anathapindak.nThe vihara donated by Anathapindak was addressed as Jetvan Vihar. We can also see the art of famous stupas like Sanchi and Bharhut present in this famous charity event. Buddha had delivered many important teachings of his life in this Vihar. In addition to this Vihara, in Shravasti, Poorvaram or Pubbaram Vihar was donated to the Sangh by Vishakha. Rajika Ram Vihar was also donated to the Sangh for the residence of the nuns by King Prasenjit of Kaushal Mahajanapada.nThe description of this city is also seen prominently in the travelogue of Chinese travelers.nIn 1862, Sir Alexander Cunningham again worked to bring the site to light. This famous city of the past is presently known as two small ruins named Sahet and Mahet. This Buddhist site was excavated by Cunningham again in 1876 and many Buddhist artifacts were obtained.nAfter independence, excavation work of this Buddhist site was done in 1959 under the direction of Professor K.K Sinha of Banaras Hindu University.nnSource : Buddha VaninImage credits : Google images

It's known for, Mahatma Buddha's enlightenment.

Best ever place must visit there Namo buddhaynAlthough born a prince, he realized that conditioned experiences could not provide lasting happiness or protection from suffering. After a long spiritual search he went into deep meditation, where he realized the nature of mind. He achieved the state of unconditional and lasting happiness: the state of enlightenment, of buddhahood. This state of mind is free from disturbing emotions and expresses itself through fearlessness, joy and active compassion. For the rest of his life, the Buddha taught anyone who asked how they could reach the same state.nIndia at the time of the Buddha was very spiritually open. Every major philosophical view was present in society, and people expected spirituality to influence their daily lives in positive ways.nnAt this time of great potential, Siddhartha Gautama, the future Buddha, was born into a royal family in what is now Nepal, close to the border with India. Growing up, the Buddha was exceptionally intelligent and compassionate. Tall, strong, and handsome, the Buddha belonged to the Warrior caste. It was predicted that he would become either a great king or spiritual leader. Since his parents wanted a powerful ruler for their kingdom, they tried to prevent Siddharta from seeing the unsatisfactory nature of the world. They surrounded him with every kind of pleasure. He was given five hundred attractive ladies and every opportunity for sports and excitement. He completely mastered the important combat training, even winning his wife, Yasodhara, in an archery contest.nnSuddenly, at age 29, he was confronted with impermanence and suffering. On a rare outing from his luxurious palace, he saw someone desperately sick. The next day, he saw a decrepit old man, and finally a dead person. He was very upset to realize that old age, sickness and death would come to everyone he loved. Siddharta had no refuge to offer them.nnThe next morning the prince walked past a meditator who sat in deep absorption. When their eyes met and their minds linked, Siddhartha stopped, mesmerized. In a flash, he realized that the perfection he had been seeking outside must be within mind itself. Meeting that man gave the future Buddha a first and enticing taste of mind, a true and lasting refuge, which he knew he had to experience himself for the good of all.
