The Birth Place Of Lord Buddha

Lumbini is the ultimate pilgrimage for every Buddhist – The Star of Asia and symbol of peace.

Lord Buddha was born in Lumbini while his mother was on her way to her parental home from Kapilvastu. He was born during the full moon day in the month of Baisakh in 623 B.C and is believed to have been born under a Saal tree (Shorea Robusta) when Maya Devi (his mother) was going to her maternal town on the occasion of the delivery. After his birth, Buddha took seven steps towards north, which is now shown as seven lotus flowers and looking in all directions, he declared that “I am the foremost of all creatures to cross the riddle of the ocean of the existence, this is my last birth and here after, I will not be born again”.

This newly born Hindu Prince named Siddhartha had supernatural birth signs, which indicated that the new born child will bring deliverance to the world. Ascetic (Rishis) warned the king that the boy might renounce the world anytime if he happens to come across, the diseased, an old man, dead body or the ascetic.

The king, alarmed to hear this, married Prince Siddhartha at an early age and almost imprisoned him in pleasure palaces, providing therein all kinds of enjoyments so he will be happy and stay there. However, the prophecy came true and he became The Buddha.

Lumbini should be visited and be seen by devotees, as it is the being of one of the four holy places of Buddhism.

The other sites are Bouddhanath, Swyambhunath in Kathmandu, both two sites are also included in the Unesco World Heritage Sites.
