Lumbini, GOD with NATURE.
by Prakriti Dhakal \| 01-05-2019 00:00 0
My short visit to lumbini while attending the Rotary District Conference has really inspired me to write this article. Seeing the marigold flowers on the plastic glass touched my heart then i asked with the people working around. They said they collect those plastic glasses from garbage, after cleaning well they use it as a decoration material. I guess most of us have not heard about lumbini, so let me add a short information about it and would like to welcome you all with a big greetings and honor. Lumbinī is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Rupandehi District of Province No. 5 in Nepal. It is the place where, according to Buddhist tradition, Queen Mahamayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama in 563 BCE.Gautama, who achieved Enlightenment some time around 528 BCE, became the Buddha and founded Buddhism. Lumbini is one of many magnets for pilgrimage that sprang up in places pivotal to the life of the Buddha. Lumbini has a number of older temples, including the Mayadevi Temple, and various new temples, funded by Buddhist organisations from various countries, have been completed or are still under construction. Many monuments and a museum, and the Lumbini International Research Institute are also within the holy site. Also, there is the Puskarini, or Holy Pond, where the Buddha's mother took the ritual dip prior to his birth and where he had his first bath. At other sites near Lumbini, earlier Buddhas were, according to tradition, born, then achieved ultimate Enlightenment and finally relinquished their earthly forms.

Greetings Prakriti,

This is a wonderful report and especially through the photos taken by yourself, it makes the readers feel like we are actually at Lumbini!
The place is really meaningful because not only are they serving as religious purposes, they are thinking about the environment through using recycled materials.
Keep up the great work and let us notified of other beautiful places such as this.

Sincerely,
Eco Generation

Hi Prakriti,

Thank you for your time and efforts in this report and I really enjoyed reading this report. I really like Lumbini because they are not only beautiful, but also mainly due to the raw materials that it used - plastics glasses from garbage. This is really eco-friendly! Great work!
