A 24 km Buddhist communication journey has been made from Bhairahawa to Lumbini with the aim of making it a tourist destination by highlighting the spirituality of Lumbini. On the occasion of its 11th foundation day, Lumbini Press Club, a joint organization of journalists, conducted a media walk on Thursday.
Kamal Rayamazhi, president of the Buddhist Communication Yatra, said that the purpose of the Sanchar Yatra is to encourage the followers of Shanti to come to Lumbini to do the pilgrimage while giving the message of peace to the world from Lumbini.
The walking tour started from Lumbini Gate in Bhairahawa and reached Mayadevi Temple in Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. 100 people, including 50 media personnel, chief district officers, security personnel, industrialists, businessmen, tourism entrepreneurs, monks, lamas, civil leaders and human rights activists reached Lumbini on foot. The general secretary of the club, Prakash Neupane, said that journalists not only go to get information with a copy-pen and camera, but also provide spiritual energy from Lumbini to uplift the tourist area.
Communication Even though there was suffering during the journey, Chief District Officer Vasudev Ghimire said that when entering the Mayadevi temple, all the sorrows and pains disappeared due to the feeling of spiritual energy and great peace.
Monk Sribajir meditated for 10 minutes on the participants at Mayadevi Temple. The participants of the trip were welcomed by the local people. When Maharaj Suddhodhan's guru Atishkal Deval came to see the newborn Siddhartha Bodhisattva, he predicted that the infant Siddhartha would become a great guru .
Devoted to that great Guru, Atishakaal Deval had pravajjit (made a monk) his nephew Nalak . Monk Srivajir, vice-principal of Lumbini Buddhist University, said that the importance of walking is mentioned in the Sutta Nikaya of the Sutra Pitaka, as the same monk Nalak preached on foot throughout his life.
