What is not a legend is that in times of Buddha the park was a haven of ascetics.<br \/>\nIt is really curious, coming from Varanasi, to enter in this enclosure.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve gone from the crowds and exaltation to a totally different environment, a haven of peace, where we see many Buddhist monks of different nationalities chatting and walking around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-95890 size-medium lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" title=\"Monk\" data-src=\"https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/monje_budista-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/monje_budista-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/monje_budista-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/monje_budista-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/monje_budista.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/>We are in the historical place <strong>where Buddha preached his first sermon<\/strong> to his five disciples, in the year 532 BC, giving birth to the <strong>Dharma<\/strong> (the law or the governing precepts Buddhism) and the <strong>Sangha<\/strong> (Buddhist community). The <strong>Dharma Wheel<\/strong> is present in India&#8217;s own flag, along with the <em>Ashoka column lion<\/em>. We can see it at the Archaeological Museum which is in the same enclosure. <strong>Ashoka<\/strong> was one of the sponsors of Buddhism and its policy was characterized by the ideals of non-violence, religious tolerance and respect for parents, teachers and elders. He sent out Buddhist missionaries to Kashmir, Sri Lanka and Persia and built, according to tradition, 84.000 Buddhist stupas across India.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sarnath reached its maximum splendor in the fourth century, V and VI,<strong>Gupta period<\/strong>. According to contemporary chronicles, two centuries after the Buddha&#8217;s death, Sarnath had a <strong>s<\/strong><strong>angha<\/strong> of 12000 monks who were sponsored by wealthy merchants and nobles of the city of Varanasi. The city was devastated by the Muslims in the twelfth century, like Varanasi (1194).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Until 1834 we did not hear anything from Sarnath, was when Sir Alexander Cunningham began an archaeological expedition in the area and he rediscovered it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-85536 size-full lazyload\" title=\"Dhamehk stupa, in Sarnath\" data-src=\"https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/encabezado_sarnath.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"750\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/encabezado_sarnath.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/encabezado_sarnath-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/encabezado_sarnath-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/encabezado_sarnath-768x384.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1500\/750;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the buildings that attract the most attention, for its size, but also by its simplicity is the <strong>Dhamekh stupa<em>.<\/em><\/strong> I have seen many of them in different countries, and really none had this shape. It is a cylindrical tower 35 meters high and 15 meters in diameter built in the Gupta period. It is built on the exact place where Buddha gave his sermon. The base is decorated with geometric reliefs and there are some niches that may beware Buddha statues. It was enlarged in six occasions although the top is still not finished. This stupa dates from 500 AD to replace another much older built by <strong>Emperor Ashoka<\/strong> in 249 BC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/01.Temple-Mulagandha-Kuti-Vihara.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-621 noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-84047 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 197px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 197\/300;margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" title=\"Mulagandha Kuti Vihara Temple\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/01.Temple-Mulagandha-Kuti-Vihara-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"Mulagandha Kuti Vihara Temple\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/01.Temple-Mulagandha-Kuti-Vihara-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/01.Temple-Mulagandha-Kuti-Vihara.jpg 652w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a>Another building we visited was the <strong>Kuti Vihara Mulagandha Temple<em>,<\/em><\/strong> with walls decorated with frescoes depicting the life of Buddha, a recurring theme in the iconography of Buddhism. And finally, and I think the most interesting, the Archaeological Museum, which contains splendid statues of <strong>Kushana<\/strong> and <strong>Gupta<\/strong> periods.<br \/>\nAmong the most representative is the capital that crowned the <em>Ashoka column<\/em> with the four lions, oriented to the four cardinal points, and the wheel of life, emblem of India. And the famous statue of the <strong>Buddha from Sarnath<\/strong>, which can be considered the prototype for all Asia in which the attributes and characteristics of the founder of Buddhism are definitely established.<br \/>\nAlthough Buddhism drinks from Hinduism, Buddhism in India today has a very few followers because not even 1% of the population practices it. The reasons for low coverage are analyzed even today, and appear to be related to this philosophy was contrary and tried to abolish the caste system on the one hand, and the fact of being a pacifist religion, unfit for support a such warrior nation like India.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[uncode_socials size=&#8221;lead&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[vc_separator]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Varanasi is the ultimate pilgrimage place for Hindus, only 10 kms from the city we find another place of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4894,5044],"tags":[5370,5371,5372,5373,5374,5375,5376,5377,5378,5379,4980,5086,5087,5135,5199,5369],"class_list":["post-87740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia-en","category-india-en","tag-sarnath-en","tag-dharma-en","tag-sangha-en","tag-dhamekh-en","tag-gupta-en","tag-mulaganda-en","tag-kushana-en","tag-dodh-gay-en","tag-kushinagar-en","tag-kuti-vihara-en","tag-lumbini-en","tag-buddhism","tag-buddha-en","tag-ashoka-en","tag-india","tag-varanasi-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
