Buddha
- the gentle sage, led the world on the path to
enlightenment, two thousand five hundred years ago.
This circuit is a pilgrim's journey, through the
land of Buddha, where he preached his message of
compassion, simplicity and renunciation - the places
immortalised by the enlightened one.
The highlight of your journey will be the holy tree
at Bodhgaya,
under which the Buddha attained enlightenment. Visit
Sarnath, where he gave
his first sermon, and
Kushinagar where he attained Parinirvana. The
ruins of Nalanda, still
echo with the chants of scholars of ancient times.
Vaishali, the site,
where he preached his last sermon, and announced
his impending Nirvana. In Sanchi,
the Great Stupa, temples and pillars beckon you,
to explore the beauty of the Buddhist architecture.
The grand finale at Amaravati
and Nagarjunakonda
in Andhra Pradesh, where you can witness the past
glory of this noble religion.
Your journey promises serenity, self - knowledge, and a deeper understanding of one of the greatest thinkers of India.
