Dear friends,
we still have a few places on the upcoming Pariyatti.org pilgrimage “Along the path of the Buddha” from Feb 28 to March 21, 2019. We are happy to help in all kind of preparations.
Make use of this wonderful rare opportunity as the historical sites are changing very fast. Still we can meditate freely at most of the sites and the inspirational vibrations are still on!
Come and join and share this post with your friends.
Four Places of Pilgrimage
16. "There are four places, Ananda, that a pious person should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence.[42] What are the four?
17. "'Here the Tathagata was born!'[43] This, Ananda, is a place that a pious person should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence.
18. "'Here the Tathagata became fully enlightened in unsurpassed, supreme Enlightenment!'[44] This, Ananda, is a place that a pious person should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence.
19. "'Here the Tathagata set rolling the unexcelled Wheel of the Dhamma!'[45] This, Ananda, is a place that a pious person should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence.
20. "'Here the Tathagata passed away into the state of Nibbana in which no element of clinging remains!' This, Ananda, is a place that a pious person should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence.
21. "These, Ananda, are the four places that a pious person should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence. And truly there will come to these places, Ananda, pious bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, laymen and laywomen, reflecting: 'Here the Tathagata was born! Here the Tathagata became fully enlightened in unsurpassed, supreme Enlightenment! Here the Tathagata set rolling the unexcelled Wheel of the Dhamma! Here the Tathagata passed away into the state of Nibbana in which no element of clinging remains!'
