( worship  Lumbini and  stupas  Ramagama)

From Kushinaga ( Kusinara ) where  Buddha  Nirvana  to  Lumbini,  where  Buddha  's Birthday 165 km long birth, if the car takes about 4 hours.)

The road  to Lumbinī halted the sunflowers. We unhurried pedestrians  through  the village full of wind and dust. It took two days to get to Lumbini after sunshine. Imagine Lumbini is like the  sacred lot  that  we have gone through -  desolate , bare  , butLumbini is different. A large land surrounded by fence. The main entrances to the entrance are numbered for easy  identification  and  protection  for day and night. Lumbini as a large park with trees, small trees, lakes and rows of green willow  whispering. The road was covered with asphalt. The roof of the temple, colorful tower and the design of each country are  building  sophisticated  with its own unique culture.

We would like  to stay at the temple of a Thai temple,  people  quickly  arrange everything to prepare for the time of the boat. Most  people set  up tents around the stumps to avoid burning the heat. I chose a small angle without trees, but close to a few beds of vegetables: parsley, cabbage, beans, cucumber. We green  lush , visual alone is cool!

Both groups spend  time  every afternoon to  worship  where  Buddha  Dan Sanh. Business  building  and  restoration  still underway so  we  have to queue once entered the shrine Queen Maya Devi - This is one of three  works  Main King Asoka to  build  when visiting this place.  Ancient vestiges are just old brick ground. The main point of  the building  is the statue  depicting  the queen Māyā vin branch sāla and lower Prince. 

Vin branch to touch - mother opening grace 
Step Seven,  the time bear  blessing filled
Threshold expectations,  Brahma  umbrella, white 
Tin city, Long Princess also bought First 
Grass tree bowl fragrant  pure
water machine shimmering colors  magically mystical
Open latch  cosmos , the finite 
golden years  eclipses , showed  boundless
States bear  bile almond  scented  three realms
France lit  compassion  bright domain six 
Par post-Maya rate Dau play 
Radio priority  since no member bloom! (*) 

We were  not allowed to stop for too long because we had to give way to many  pilgrimages and other visitors behind. A short silent moments between the place  sacred , where the source of a great life, full of  truth  that  the mystery  of a Buddha also evoked up in  our  belief peace joy,  pure signal  and incredible. I saw an old monk kneeling  quietly  in a corner. Shoulders lightly. The gaze of pain stared at the statue. Face gray, his seasoned again illuminated rain and sun strokes  spontaneity  mindless as the eyes of an exile, banished, hope this memory suddenly found myself sitting between the old country!

Time  remaining  monks  worship ,  chanting  and  meditation  at the lake and at the pillar Sakyan of Asoka. The delegation stayed in Lumbini for a day so that  everyone  had  time to  visit the pagoda of the building countries   here and then leave when the moon is still bright

The team arrived at Rāmagāma late afternoon the next day. Some of the delegates got  lost  and it  was nearly  nine o'clock in the evening. The night sky is like a lush yellow kashmir dressed in a quiet countryside with a sparkling coat  . Accents  chief  union swirled gently and singing voice rang rang crickets worms in a  space  fanciful  as a chord  perfectly . Although I do not speak Thai, I still understand the head of the group is telling  people  about the origin of the tower Rāmagāma. These are  works  worship one of eight original part Xa- Loi Buddhist. He also talked about the story of  the  Dragon God It  prevented  King Asoka from opening  the stupas to  get Saree - the  division split  to reign over the place because the Dragon Tribe wants to  worship  and  protect  this  stupa  . After the  introduction of  the history  we  together read a long period of  peace . We  sit in meditation  and  walking meditation  around the  stupa  until  late at night, dew wet cell increase  people  new  back to  his tent to rest.

Early in the morning,  we  hugged the bowl to the nearby village for  almsgiving  . People around this area are poor but nice. See them very  reverent . They called  everyone  in the house to say hello and asked for a bowl. The  offerings  are mainly rice. They put a  lot of rice in each  bowl . White rice is not only opaque, but also rice husk but rice is very fragrant. Rice smells of mud. Fragrant rice  hard. Rice fragrant of the heart of the rustic heart ... The whole group slowly  chanting blessings for each person, each home.

Saying goodbye to Nepal, departing from the holy Rāmagāma, departing  from this calm and peaceful land,  we  continue to walk, walk straight to Kusinārā. Step by step away. I still remember vividly the austere face, the plate  generosity , smiles clear, the black hand rough, calloused, the naivete, the  innocent , the  sincerity ... These  unfortunate being  simple yet full of shallow to bottom again where these people!
