BOOK ON RAIN
RETREAT OF THE BUDDHA
The Peace Pilgrim has been traveling to a number of prospective sites in
Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in search of places where the Buddha could have
possibly spent the rain retreat in the 45 years of his teaching mission.
Some sites have not yet been identified by Historians till now. The Peace
Pilgrim has been tracing the route of the blessed One on the basis of the
scriptures. One such site in Nala where the Buddha spent the 11th rain retreat
(please read story on Kispa on this website) the other are Caliya and Mankula
hill where the holy one spent some of these retreats. The book should be
ready for publication later this year.
BOOK IN
HINDI ON MAHABODHI TEMPLE BODH GAYA.
As part of the Buddhist Heritage's commitment to help in a campaign to
return Buddhism to its home-land. The Peace Pilgrim has allowed his yet
to be published book 'The Mahabodhi Temple. 'A World Heritage Site', to
be translated to Hindi. This book will be released at Bodh Gaya on 13th
May 2006 to mark the celebration of the 2550th Anniversary of the Mission
of the Buddha. The book is being translated by Mr. P. R. Patel, a Scholar
from Sarnath. As there is a dire need for good books on Buddhist History
in Indian languages, as such the Peace Pilgrim is willing to offer Indian
Buddhist writer his manuscripts for translation.
