Document Summary

(cid:883). (cid:884) a royal pilgrimage retraces the life of the buddha. An inscription on a pillar tells us that asoka personally visited lumbini. According to sanskrit legend, asoka built no less than 84,000 stupas all over india to enshrine the bodily relics of the. Buddha, which we collected and redistributed throughout his kingdom. For centuries, many pilgrimage sites in india and the beyond were thought to be centered on the monuments that asoka built. All the statues of the deities fell at the bodhisattva"s feet, and king suddhodana declared that his son was a god even for the deities. In the bodhisattva gymnasium, he trained in the arts appropriate to his lineage. The bodhisattva had 60,000 wives: when the bodhisattva saw an old man, a sick man, and a corpse, the bodhisattva went out to the woods and sat down in the shade of the jambu tree.
