| Buddhism was a religion that was born in India but spread
its wings all around the world, especially in the east. Being the
country of Gautam Buddha, the Buddhist pilgrimage centers in India
are abundant, which attract devotees from India and abroad. India
was the center of Buddhist learning in the ancient times, and religious
sites of those times have become the places of monumental importance
today. Buddhist monasteries also known as vihara. The monastery also
has a Centre for Buddhist Cultural Studies where young monks are
taught Arithmetic, English, and Hindi besides traditional monastic
education. The Indian state of Bihar, being the focal point of Buddhism,
boasts of several major Buddhist religious monument centres such
as Bodh Gaya and temples like Maha Bodhi temple. Then there are
monasteries such as Tabo and Namgyal in Himachal Pradesh, which
have a lot of Tibetan influence on them. Similarly, hilltop buddhist
monasteries of Ladakh are one of the best living traditions of Tibetan
Buddhism in the world today. Also visit the Monasteries of Sikkim,
which are one of their kind. Some of the northeastern states of
India like Aunachal Pradesh also prides in housing some very ancient
and largest monasteries in India. |
