Sarnath Garden (Sarnath).

M OT sanctuary more memorable in the history of Buddhism is Isipitana or Sarnath shrine.Here, in the stillness of the Deer Park, Buddha opened the first Dharma talk for the five brothers Mr. Kiều Trần as before as the ascetic with Him. The content of the sermon speaks about the sufferings of human life and the ways to solve them. This event has been dubbed "Zhuan Falun," which means that the Buddha transformed the first dharma wheel marking a glorious emblematic era of a sustained religion over 2500 years ago.

Sarnath was the place of religious origin founded by Shakyamuni Buddha. Thus, Sarnath became the largest Buddhist center for over 1500 years. In the early centuries of the flourishing Buddhist period, during the reign of Asoka, Sarnath became a popular place of debate between sects and religions. Both Phap Hien and Tran Huyen Trang came to worship this relic in the 5th and 7th centuries AD. They left us many valuable documents about this holy history. Here, Asoka was also sent to build a pillar that marked the retreat in various large and small buildings of over 1500 Buddhist monks to Sarnath. In the remnants of that, one must mention a beautiful temple with bronze Buddha statues in the form of turning Falun Dafa, A turret neck and a stone pillar. All are built by Asoka. This holy place has flourished in many dynasties and has also been restored many times. According to the inscriptions and archaeological evidence, it is known that the shrine with the statue of the Buddha Zhuan Falun was restored on the orders of the late Kumaradevi in ​​the first half of the 12th century BC.Soon after, the site was destroyed by the army of Muhammad Ghori, the Huns and Mahmud Ghazni, but Sarnath was restored by the efforts of Buddhist monks and nuns everywhere.Later, however, because of the decline of Buddhism in India, Sarnath, a once-famous and once-forgotten historical site, was lost in the ruin of the dust of time. This holy place has flourished in many dynasties and has also been restored many times. According to the inscriptions and archaeological evidence, it is known that the shrine with the statue of the Buddha Zhuan Falun was restored on the orders of the late Kumaradevi in ​​the first half of the 12th century BC. Soon after, the site was destroyed by the army of Muhammad Ghori, the Huns and Mahmud Ghazni, but Sarnath was restored by the efforts of Buddhist monks and nuns everywhere. Later, however, because of the decline of Buddhism in India, Sarnath, a once-famous and once-forgotten historical site, was lost in the ruin of the dust of time. This holy place has flourished in many dynasties and has also been restored many times. According to the inscriptions and archaeological evidence, it is known that the shrine with the statue of the Buddha Zhuan Falun was restored on the orders of the late Kumaradevi in ​​the first half of the 12th century BC. Soon after, the site was destroyed by the army of Muhammad Ghori, the Huns and Mahmud Ghazni, but Sarnath was restored by the efforts of Buddhist monks and nuns everywhere. Later, however, because of the decline of Buddhism in India, Sarnath, a once-famous and once-forgotten historical site, was lost in the ruin of the dust of time. It is known that the temple has a statue of the Buddha Zhuan Falun which was restored under the order of Kumaradevi in ​​the first half of the 12th century BC. Soon after, the site was destroyed by the army of Muhammad Ghori, the Huns and Mahmud Ghazni, but Sarnath was restored by the efforts of Buddhist monks and nuns everywhere. Later, however, because of the decline of Buddhism in India, Sarnath, a once-famous and once-forgotten historical site, was lost in the ruin of the dust of time. It is known that the temple has a statue of the Buddha Zhuan Falun which was restored under the order of Kumaradevi in ​​the first half of the 12th century BC.Soon after, the site was destroyed by the army of Muhammad Ghori, the Huns and Mahmud Ghazni, but Sarnath was restored by the efforts of Buddhist monks and nuns everywhere.Later, however, because of the decline of Buddhism in India, Sarnath, a once-famous and once-forgotten historical site, was lost in the ruin of the dust of time.

Today, the Indian Institute of Archeology has wasted much of its energy and money on the excavation and restoration of Sarnath. When we arrive at Sarnath from the direction of Varanasi, we will see an octagonal plane of bricks rising from the ground. This plane is a remnant of a stupa that marked the place where the Buddha met with five brothers, Mr. Kieu Tran Nhu. The octagonal tower was last restored by the Akbar emperor in 1588, under the Gupta dynasty.

Among the remnants of remnants not destroyed by the armies are the Dhamekh tower which is 150 feet above the ground. The tower was constructed of hard materials, huge blocks of brick and shaped like pillars. The inscriptions on the tower face tell us that the Dhamekh pyramid was built during the 6th century BC by the Gupta dynasty. The word "Dhamekh" comes from the Sanskrit word "Dharmekh". Not far from the tower is a small stupa built by King Asoka.As King Asoka built, according to the description of Tran Huyen Trang, may be the place where the Buddha meditation sermon for five brothers Tran Nhu Nhu. A little further north, the lion head is carved very elaborately. This lion pillar is now on display at the nearby archaeological museum. At this tower, We still see large pieces of stone in the main hall and large columns of a main gate leading to the main entrance of the tower. Apart from that, we also see many fragments of statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva carved with sculpture marks of various dynasties. A beautiful Buddha statue carved sandstone image of Buddha Zhuan Falun is a beautiful statue bearing the sculpture carved Gupta dynasty.

All sculptures of this era are carved in the eight historical events of the Buddha's life, such as the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, turning the wheel of truth, entering Nirvana, performing miracles, etc. Significantly, Is a stone carvings engraving the Four Noble Truths in Pali.

Although devastated by time, Sarnath still attracts visitors to India to remember the image of His compassion and his voice still resonate in the heart of the Buddha child. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/6/2017.
