Monks  offering Buddha flowers   at  Truc Lam Tinh Xa

Starting  from  Bodhgaya , avoiding   big roads , noisyhighways  ,  we  follow  the small paths, through the hills, through the fields, through simple , remote villages  . Select the type of  road  tortuous,  arduous ,  we  implicitly from take  heart  it is for  ourselves  a chance, a gift of simplicity to be felt a  genuine  difficulties and broken  hearts from  marbles multitude banks of the  Buddha  and you  Holy Increase  the time. So that's the distance we  go, always longer than  the main road  many times. People  often  wake up at dawn and spend the night camping only when it was  trash  night. The water in the area is also scarce, the wells along the road or in the villages are damaged, the dry ones, plus  time  rush so almost  no  one in the union to wash, wash. The sheets are now blue because of dust and dew. The torn pieces have  appeared  holes  due to trees stuck  along the road . Large, long torn pieces are often caused by slipping.

After the retreat of  Mao Kien Lien , the delegation  again asked him to  reside in a Thai temple in  Wang Xa City  for rest and especially for washing and sewing. We  spent three days in which to  worship  the  relics , which  marked  the  event  important in  life  Buddha as well as the development of the  Dharma  at  Rajgir into  this. Group  respectively  visit:  Wihan Veḷuvana, Tapoda hot springs, Sattapaṇṇī cave, Maïiyara dragon shrine, Jīvaka mango garden, King Bimbisāra cave, Sonabhandara cave, Ye Dinga cave and  Buddha 's  incense  on Mount Gijjhakūṭa. What will be left behind the dust of time! One million great splendor, the  flower  was ruled by King Bimbisāra he has now lost. Spectacle of  a thousand and three  saints increased  alongside  Buddha  from  from the  practice into. The class of people,  the cleric  standing both sides of the road,  whispering small, commentary on a  solemn sangha ,  net  that they first saw. In the distance ahead is king Bimbisara with  relatives , the gods, generals,  businessmen  richand Prestige They respectfully with  lotions  and  Corolla  nghinh  Buddha  and  the Sangha  to supply dien- All it is only a   beautiful image in the imagination of the  pilgrims . Then,  through the ages  , several  universities ,  museums , and temples were  built  in various styles that sprang up on the land. Farmerclasses  poverty  focused on. They live in all sorts of manual work and by lap  benefactors  of the  pilgrims  broad  kindness charity. The scenery of  Wang Xa is not so beautiful, so poetic, but enough for those who come here feel the peace, the truth.

Bowed ,  chanting  and meditation in  flavor loss  of  the Buddha  on Vulture Peak finished, on the pedestrian street,  we  come across a  corpse  to the street, covered by a cloth sketchy gold. The Indian people   are: They live much simpler than most of the rest of  the world . They are more  interested in seeking innersublimation   than in the  advancement  of science (  at least  the places I have gone through). In the morning drinking milk tea, lunch is the Jabati sandwiches sandwiched with potato patty, evening and dream is  the  long time they spend praying  and  prostration . They  value  all life, even the smallest one, but they  despise  their own death. Perhaps they understand that: His death is only a starting point for another  journey  . The group stopped chanting a  meditation  on the  corpse  and then  quietly  on the road .

The Sacred Mount fades behind  us . Every step of the way is to  return. Returning  in shorter intervals and deepening in   infinite gratitude .
