Buddhist Pilgrimage

Bodhgaya is one of the most important and highly respected Buddhist pilgrimage places on the planet. Here, under the banyan tree known as the Bodhi Tree, Gautama became enlightened and became the Buddha. At Kushinagar, which is 55 kilometers from Gorakhpur, the Lord Buddha spoke his final words, "Look now, brethren, I urge you, saying, decay is inherent in all component things!" He then said, "With diligence, work out your salvation," and left for heaven. The solemn dying is seen by the Mahaparinirvana temple, which is dedicated to the event. One among the numerous stupas in Kushinagar is the Rambhar Stupa, which is supposedly the location of Lord Buddha's cremation. You should look into it.

Travelling Around Northern India Aboard a Special Train

Our adventure began at the Safdarjung railway station, from where the Buddhist Circuit Special Train, an exclusive air-conditioned train for Buddhist circuit destinations organized by the IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited), commenced.

The unexpected highlight of our departure was the warm red-carpet welcome. We were greeted with flowers, snacks, and the melodious tunes of Indian musicians playing the tabla, flute, and organ.

Our first destination was Gaya, 1089 km from Delhi, which we covered in approximately 18 hours. Our full journey took us across Northern India and into Nepal, encompassing all the prominent locations connected to the life of Gautama Buddha. These destinations included Bodhgaya, Nalanda, Rajgir, Varanasi, Sarnath, Lumbini, Kushinagar, and Sravasti, with our final stop in Agra to witness the breathtaking Taj Mahal. In total, we traversed over 2600 kilometers.

Another enchanting experience awaited us during our boat ride on the holy Ganga River in Varanasi, where we observed the Aarti festival. On the riverbanks, thousands of people paid their respects to Mother Ganga through music and prayer.

Complementing this incredible journey, the train itself offered a unique experience with its clean berths, a multi-cuisine restaurant (the masala tea being a particularly memorable highlight), a mini-library, and even a foot massager on board.

I am delighted by the exceptional on-board and off-board services, the superb hotel accommodations, quality transportation facilities, a meticulously planned itinerary, and an English-speaking tourist guide who was always ready and eager to assist us. The safety and security we experienced throughout the journey were equally commendable and reassuring. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to IRCTC for providing us with this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

[mahayanapilgrim]

In the Mahaparinirvana sutra, the Buddha tells his followers that they can attain merit and a noble rebirth by going on pilgrimage to the places where he was born Lumbini, gained enlightenment Bodhgaya, first taught Sarnath, and attained Nirvana Kushinagar.

[originalbuddhas]

Kushinagar

Kushinagar, an integral part of the quartet of paramount Buddhist pilgrimages, beckons pilgrims and enthusiasts alike to traverse the sacred footsteps of Lord Buddha. Each pilgrimage—Lumbini, Bodhgaya, Sarnath, and Kushinagar—holds a unique strand in the intricate narrative of Buddha's life, and Kushinagar, in particular, emerges as the hallowed ground where his earthly journey culminated.

The Crowned Buddha

During his spiritual quest, the prince who became the Buddha discarded his royal garments and put on a robe made of rags. After the former prince attained Buddhahood, a king named Jambupati attempted to display his superiority to all the other kings of the world. In response, the Buddha manifested himself enthroned in a magically created palace, adorned with royal finery, to teach Jambupati that the grandeur of Buddhahood outshines that of earthly kingship. The Buddha then preached to Jambupati of the emptiness of riches, the inevitability of suffering, and the impermanence of all things.

The Crowned Buddha represents a wish of having property (wealth), power (influence), and prestige (status).

…………………………………………

Pra Mae Phosop

Pra Mae Phoso is the rice goddess of the Thai people. She is a deity more related to ancient Thai folklore than a goddess of a structured, mainstream religion. She is also known as Mae Khwan Khao "Mother of Rice Prosperity".

…………………………………………

Pra Mae Thorani

Pra Mae Thorani, the Mother Earth Goddess, the images of Pra Mae Thorani are common in shrines and Buddhist temples of Burma, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. According to Buddhist myths, Pra Mae Thorani is personified as a young woman wringing the cool waters of detachment out of her hair to drown Mara, the demon sent to tempt Gautama Buddha as he meditated under the Bodhi Tree.

The Bodhisattva was sitting in meditation on his throne under the Bodhi Tree, Mara, the Evil One, was jealous and wanted to stop him from reaching enlightenment. Accompanied by his warriors, wild animals and his daughters, the personifications of desire, he tried to drive the Bodhisattva from his throne. All the gods were terrified and ran away, leaving the Bodhisattva alone to face Mara's challenge. The Bodhisattva stretched down his right hand and touched the earth, summoning her to be his witness. The earth deity in the form of a beautiful woman rose up from underneath the throne, and affirmed the Bodhisattva's right to occupy the vajrisana. She twisted her long hair, and torrents of water collected there from the innumerable donative libations of the Buddha over the ages created a flood. The flood washed away Mara and his army, and the Bodhisattva was freed to reach enlightenment.

A female naga is called a Nagi, or a Nagini. According to legend, they are the children of the sage Kashyapa and Kadru. Rituals devoted to these supernatural beings have been taking place throughout South Asia for at least 2,000 years.They are principally depicted in three forms: as entirely human with snakes on the heads and necks, as common serpents, or as half-human, half-snake beings in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

Nagaraja is the title given to the king of the nagas.

In BE 2481 (CE 1938), Pina’s father passed away, and Pina became a novice for a merit to his dead father. Then Pina ordained as Buddhist monk at Wat Nong Tao, Uthai Thani Province.

Những dấu mốc quan trọng trong cuộc đời Đức Phật Thích Ca Mâu Ni

Đức Phật Thích Ca Mâu Ni là một nhân vật lịch sử có thật, một con người vĩ đại của nhân loại, người sáng lập ra Đạo Phật - con đường đưa đến giác ngộ và giải thoát hoàn toàn khỏi mọi khổ đau. Cuộc đời của Đức Phật luôn là nguồn cảm hứng sâu sắc và to lớn cho những ai đang tìm cầu con đường giác ngộ chân chánh. Cùng điểm qua một số dấu mốc lớn trong cuộc đời của Ngài:

Đản sinh: Ngài sinh ra vào ngày rằm tháng 4 âm lịch năm 624 trước Công nguyên, tại Lumbini, gần Kapilavastu, thuộc vương quốc nhỏ của bộ tộc Thích Ca, ở miền Bắc Ấn Độ hiện nay. Ngài được đặt tên là Tất Đạt Đa Cồ Đàm, nghĩa là "người đã đạt được mọi điều mong muốn".

Xuất gia: Khi 29 tuổi, Ngài quyết định từ bỏ cuộc sống hoàng gia và gia đình để tìm kiếm chân lý và con đường giải thoát. Ngài gặp bốn dấu hiệu là một người già, một người bệnh, một xác chết, và một tu sĩ, khiến Ngài nhận ra sự vô thường và đầy khổ đau của đời sống thế gian. Ngày 8 tháng 2 âm lịch, Ngài cưỡi ngựa Kanthaka, cùng với người hầu Channa, bỏ cung điện và cạo đầu trở thành một tu sĩ lang thang.

Tu hành: Ngài học và thực hành các phương pháp thiền định và giải thoát của nhiều bậc thầy, như Alara Kalama và Uddaka Ramaputta, nhưng không hài lòng về những gì được học vì Ngài nhận thấy nó không đưa đến giải thoát tối hậu. Ngài sau đó theo đuổi con đường khổ hạnh, ăn rất ít và suy kiệt sức lực, nhưng cũng không thấy kết quả. Ngài nhận ra rằng cần một con đường trung đạo, không quá xa hoa cũng không quá khổ hạnh. Ngài nhận lấy một bát sữa gạo từ một cô gái tên Sujata, và lấy lại sức khỏe.

Thành đạo: Khi 35 tuổi, vào ngày 8 tháng 12 âm lịch, Ngài ngồi thiền dưới một cây bồ đề ở Bodhgaya (Bồ Đề Đạo Tràng), và đạt tới trạng thái giác ngộ hoàn toàn. Ngài vượt thoát mọi cám dỗ và tấn công của Mara, vị thần tượng trưng cho vô minh và tham ái. Ngài khám phá và chứng ngộ bốn sự thật (Tứ Thánh Đế) về khổ, nguyên nhân khổ, khổ diệt và con đường khổ diệt; định lý duyên khởi (mười hai nhân duyên) và bản chất vô thường, vô ngã của mọi sự vật hiện tượng. Ngài trở thành một vị Phật, bậc Chánh đẳng giác, một người hoàn toàn giác ngộ.

Thuyết pháp: Sau khi thành đạo, Ngài đi đến Sarnath, gần Varanasi, và gặp lại năm vị tu sĩ từng là bạn đồng hành của Ngài trong thời gian tu khổ hạnh. Ngài thuyết pháp cho họ về Tứ Thánh Đế và Bát Chánh Đạo. Đây là lần thuyết pháp đầu tiên của Ngài, được gọi là chuyển pháp luân. Từ đây, Ngài thành lập giáo hội tăng, cộng đồng của những người tu hành theo Phật pháp. Trong suốt 45 năm sau đó, Ngài đi khắp nơi, thuyết pháp cho nhiều người, từ vua chúa, quý tộc, đến dân thường, nông dân, thợ thủ công, phụ nữ, trẻ em, và cả những người bị coi là hèn hạ và bất tịnh. 

Những lời giảng của Đức Phật Thích Ca chỉ xoay quanh Tứ Thánh Đế, Bát Chánh Đạo - con đường giúp chúng sanh giải thoát hoàn toàn khỏi mọi khổ đau của cuộc đời và chấm dứt vòng luân hồi sinh tử. 

Nhập Niết Bàn: Khi 80 tuổi, vào ngày rằm tháng 2 âm lịch, Ngài qua đời tại Kushinagar, sau khi ăn một bữa ăn có chứa thịt lợn bị hư do một thợ rèn tên Cunda cúng dường. Ngài đưa ra những lời dạy cuối cùng cho các đệ tử, khuyến tấn các đệ tử tinh tấn nỗ lực tự mình giác ngộ, giải thoát. Đức Phật sau đó nhập diệt, tức chấm dứt sự hiện hữu hoàn toàn, không còn tái sinh hay hiện hữu ở một nơi nào, một hình thức nào nữa.

IRCTC Buddhist Train, Gives Info of Buddhism With Heritage & Culture Tour.

IRCTC takes you on Buddhist circuit tourist train for a special pilgrimage journey. It will impart the teachings of Buddhism along with Buddhist culture and heritage for an optimistic understanding of both humanity and mother nature. The tour Itinerary includes many important places such as Gaya, Bodhgaya, Rajgir, Nalanda, Varanasi, Sarnath, Kushinagar, Lumbini, Sravasti and Agra.  

On the Varanasi Buddhist tour packages, pilgrims will indulge in a spiritual experience with a visit to the famous kashinath temple. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. Moreover, it is also referred to as the religious capital of India. Significant events which took place in Varanasi include Lord Buddha giving his first sermon with turning of the wheel of Dhamma. It is contained in ancient scriptures like Mahabharata, Puranas and Buddhist texts.

The city got its names due to its location as it lies between the two tributaries of River Ganga which is Varuna to the north and as to the south. A regular day in Varanasi includes the recitation of morning prayers and ringing of temple bells. It is believed that dying at the burning ghats at the edge of the river guarantees people a break from the cycle of life and death.

Rajgir is another popular destination also known for its Rajgir Buddhist Mandir Travel. The name of the city is divided into two parts Raj and Griha which translated to the city of the king.  It is a picturesque little down surrounded by five holy hills. Two out of these caves were favorites of Lord Buddha where he preached two of his sermons.

Rajgir Buddhist Mandir Travel takes you to Shanti Stupa, an immense white structure on top of Ratnagiri Hill which houses four gold statues housing representing Buddha's birth, enlightenment, teaching, and death. On the gridhakuta hill which is shaped like a vulture when you see it with an aerial view is the place where he delivered many discourses through which he attained enlightenment. The two important sutras are Lotus Sutra and Prajnaparamita.

Ancient ruins associated with King Bimbisara and his so Ajatshatru can also be found. One of these ancient ruins is one of the 5th-century forts where the emperor imprisoned his father. Stone blocks build the 1.5 km outer wall of the fort.

Other major destinations in the city include Saptaparni cave, Burmese temple and modern Japanese temple all culturally rich in Buddhist heritage.
