There is a variety of
Buddhist practices in Nepal. Among them,
the Buddhism of the endemic Newari
people which is related to the ancient
Buddhism that passed out of India one
thousand years ago. The next is the
Buddhism of the Sherpa, Tamang and
Tibetan peoples which is relatively
modern incursion of Theravadin or
Southern Buddhism. The central beliefs
and practices of this southern Buddhism
dates back to the time of its founder,
Prince Siddhartha Gautam, Who was born
in Lumbini in the southern Terai in
about 543 B.C. Lumbini is a sacred place
for Buddhists from all over the world,
standing on an equal footing with holy
places sacred to other world religions.
A veteran Asian travellers and author of
several books writes, ‘As millions of
Christians look to Jerusalem for
inspiration, as millions of Muslims turn
to Mecca, so do three hundred million
Buddhists see the pillar left in Lumbini
by the great Emperor Ashoka to mark the
site where Buddha was born.’
