Destinations of Buddhist Pilgrimage
The four famous places of Buddhist pilgrimage are Lumbini,
Bodh Gaya, Sarnath and Kushinagar, which are associated with the
life and teachings of Lord Buddha. Lumbini, in what is now
Nepal, is the birthplace of Gautama Buddha. The others are in
India. Bodh Gaya was the place, under the pipal or Bo tree,
where the Buddha was enlightened after practicing meditation for
several years. Sarnath was the site of his first teaching and
Kushinagar was the place of his death or final Nirvana
Among the holiest of pilgrim places in the Indian Buddhist
circuit is the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya. India was rich
with the culture of Buddhist life that spread to other parts of
the world.
