THE FOUR HOLY PLACES OF BUDDHIST

While living in the Sala Grove at Kusinara a few hours before He attained Maha Parinibbana, at the age of eighty, the Buddha said to Venerable Ananda, His dutiful and beloved attendant thus: " There are four places, Ananda, which the devotees should visit with feelings of inspiration (Samavega). The places where he can say 'Here the Tathagata was born, here the Tathagata attained perfect and supreme Enlightenment. Here the Tathagata preached the first sermon on the incomparable wheel of the Dhamma. Here the Tathagata attained the final goal of Maha Parinibbana – deathless', and there will come, Ananda, to these places, pious Brethren and sisters of the Holy Order, and devout men and women."
