********** ********************
Buddhist Pilgrimage
Places
‘ There are 4 places, Ananda, which the believer should visit with feelings of
reverence : the places where he can say “ Here the Tathagata was born” …”
Here the Tathagata attained to the supreme and perfect insight” ,… “
Here the Kingdom of righteousness was set on foot by the Tathagata”, “ Here
the Tathagata finally passed away in the utter passing-away which leaves
nothing whatever to remain behind” .…And there come, Ananda, to these places, believers, brethren and sisters of the Order, and devout men and women.
And they, Ananda, who shall die while they, with believing heart, are journeying on such pilgrimage, shall be reborn after death, when the body shall dissolve, in
the happy realms of heaven.
