Lumbini - The Birth Place of Gautam Buddha

HISTORY OF LUMBINI:According to Buddhist tradition, Lumbini is the name of the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautma, also known as the Buddha. Lumbini is located in present-day Rummindei, in the Terai region of Southern Nepal, not far from the Indian-Nepalese border.

LEGENDARY ACCOUNTS
Buddhist sources say that the mother of the Buddha, Maya, was travelling from her home in Kapilavastu to her parent’s home to give birth when she suddenly went into a labour at Lumbini. A number of myths surround this particular scene: Maya gave birth painlessly, while standing between twin Sala trees; when the child was born he immediately spoke and said “this is my final rebirth”, he then took seven steps to the four cardinal points (beginning with the north) and a lotus flower sprang forth with each step; both mother and child were washed by the divinities. This last account is the origin of “bathing the infant Buddha”, a ceremony which takes place in several Buddhist communities when celebrating the Buddha’s birth. As it happens in all legends of different buddhas, Maya died seven days after the birth of the child. Mahaprajapati, Maya’s younger sister, would become Siddhartha’s foster mother.

LUMBINI HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED THANKS TO THE INDIAN EMPEROR ASHOKA, WHO VISITED THE AREA IN 248 BCE AND ERECTED A PILLAR WITH AN INSCRIPTION COMMEMORATING THE BIRTH OF SIDDHARTHA.
