Lumbini - World peace Pagoda


Local people call it 'sahnti stupa'. The builders are the same than the one in Pokhara. They were Japanese people horrified by the holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They wanted to spread the message of peace and built a bunch of stupas a little everywhere.



This symbolizes the buddha just after is birth in Lumbini



This one symbolizes his enlightenment in Bodhgaya



This is his first discourse to his five companions in the Deer park of Sarnath, near Varanasi



This is buddha's death in Kushinagar. These are the four important moments of his life.
