The history of Ramagrama can be traced back to the time of the Buddha, who visited the region during his lifetime. According to Buddhist texts, Ramagrama was a small village inhabited by the Koliya clan, who were one of the Buddha's most devoted followers. The Buddha is said to have spent a considerable amount of time in Ramagrama, preaching his teachings and establishing a strong Buddhist community in the region.
After the Buddha's death in Kusinagar, he was cremated there and his relics was divided into eight parts and were taken away by different eight principalities including Kusinagar, they were
1. Ajathsatrus of Magadha,

Today, Ramagrama is a small village in the Nawalparasi district of Nepal, with a population of around 6,000 people. It is primarily known for the Ramagrama Stupa, which is one of the eight most important stupas in Nepal and a major pilgrimage site for Buddhists from around the world. The stupa has undergone several renovations over the years, with the most recent one being carried out in the 1990s.
One of which was brought to Ramagrama by the King of the Shakya clan, who was a disciple of the Buddha. The relic was enshrined in a stupa, which became the focal point of Buddhist worship in the region. Over the centuries, Ramagrama grew into an important center of Buddhism, with many temples, monasteries, and stupas being built in the area. It was also an important trading center, with traders from India, Tibet, and China passing through the region.
During the Mauryan Empire, around 250 BCE, the Ramagrama Stupa was built to enshrine the Buddha's relic. The stupa was a brick structure that stood about 42 feet tall and was surrounded by a courtyard with four gateways. In the centuries that followed, Ramagrama continued to flourish as an important center of Buddhism and trade. It was ruled by various dynasties, including the Licchavi, the Malla, and the Shah, who all contributed to the development of the region.
Buddhist stupa located in the village of Ramgrama in the Nawalparasi district of Nepal. It is one of the eight most important stupas in Nepal and is revered as the place where the relics of the Buddha's body were enshrined. The Ramagrama Stupa is one of the most significant and revered Buddhist stupas in Nepal. It is believed to contain the relics of the Buddha's right-hand bone, and is one of the eight sacred stupas, The Ramagrama Stupa is believed to have been built during the Mauryan Empire, around 250 BCE, and is one of the oldest stupas in Nepal.
It is a brick structure that stands about 42 feet tall and has a circumference of about 400 feet. The stupa is surrounded by a courtyard with four gateways, which are decorated with carvings and sculptures of Buddhist deities and symbols.
According to Buddhist tradition, after the Buddha's cremation, his remains were divided into eight parts and distributed among eight different kingdoms. The right-hand bone was given to the King of Ramagrama, who enshrined it in a stupa that was constructed for this purpose. The Ramagrama Stupa remained an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists throughout the centuries, and was renovated and expanded upon by various rulers over the centuries. However, during the medieval period, the stupa was largely forgotten and fell into disrepair .It wasn't until the 20th century that the Ramagrama Stupa was rediscovered and restored. In 1931, a team of archaeologists led by Dr. P.C. Mukherji began excavations at the site, and found that the stupa had been buried under layers of earth and debris. The team cleared away the debris and restored the stupa to its former glory.
The Bodhi Tree ("tree of awakening”), also called the Mahabodhi Tree, Bo Tree, is a large sacred fig tree (Ficus religiosa) located in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India. Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher who became known as the Buddha, is said to have attained enlightenment or buddhahood circa 500 BCE under this tree. In religious iconography, the Bodhi Tree is recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves, which are usually prominently displayed.
The Sacred Bodhi tree at Ramagrama stupa is believed to be the tree under which Lord Buddha achieved enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, India. It is said to have been grown from a branch of the original Bodhi tree that was taken to Sri Lanka by Princess Sanghamitta, the daughter of Emperor Asoka.
According to Buddhist legend, the Ramagrama stupa was built to house the relic of Buddha's right tooth, which was gifted to a local ruler by Buddha himself. The stupa is located in the Ramgrama Municipality of Nepal, about 10 kilometers from the border of India.
The Bodhi tree at Ramagrama stupa is considered to be one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Nepal and is visited by pilgrims from all over the world. It is believed that by visiting the tree, one can attain spiritual enlightenment and receive blessings from the Buddha.
The tree is carefully preserved and protected, and visitors are not allowed to touch or harm it in any way. Instead, they can offer prayers and make offerings at the nearby shrine
Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was an ancient Nepali prince and the founder of Buddhism. He was born in Lumbini, Nepal, in the 6th century BCE, into a noble family of the Shakya clan. According to legend, at his birth, it was prophesied that he would either become a great king or a great spiritual leader.
Siddhartha lived a sheltered life as a prince, surrounded by luxury and comfort, until he was 29 years old when he decided to leave his palace and see the world outside. He was shocked by the suffering he witnessed, such as poverty, sickness, and death, and decided to dedicate his life to finding a way to end human suffering.
He spent six years traveling across India, meditating and studying with various spiritual teachers, but none of them offered a satisfying answer to the problem of suffering. Finally, he decided to sit under a Bodhi tree and meditate until he found enlightenment.
After six days of meditation, he achieved enlightenment and became known as Buddha, which means "awakened one.”
Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching others about his philosophy and spreading his teachings, which became known as Buddhism. He emphasized the Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an inherent part of life, that the cause of suffering is desire and attachment, that suffering can be overcome, and that the path to the end of suffering is the Eightfold Path, which involves right understanding, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.
Buddha's teachings spread throughout Asia and eventually reached other parts of the world. Today, Buddhism is one of the major religions of the world, with over 500 million followers.
Buddha was born into a noble family known as the Shakya clan in Lumbini, Nepal. His father, King Suddhodana, was the ruler of the Shakya clan, and his mother, Queen Mayadevi died shortly after his birth.
After his mother's death, Buddha was raised by his aunt, Mahapajapati Gotami, who later became one of his followers and the first Buddhist nun. Buddha was married to Yasodhara, a princess from a neighboring kingdom, and they had a son named Rahula.
Despite his royal upbringing, Buddha renounced his privileged life and became a wandering ascetic, seeking spiritual enlightenment and a way to end human suffering.
His family played an important role in his life, with his wife and son later joining him in his quest for spiritual awakening.
According to Buddhist tradition, Buddha's family members, including his father, wife, and son, became some of his earliest disciples after he attained enlightenment. They are believed to have played a crucial role in supporting his teachings and spreading Buddhism throughout ancient India.
Buddha's philosophy, which became the foundation of Buddhism, centers around the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. Here is a brief overview of these core concepts:
The Eightfold Path is a set of guidelines for how to live a meaningful and ethical life, and how to attain spiritual enlightenment. Buddha believed that by following the Eightfold Path, one could gradually eliminate suffering and attain a state of inner peace and liberation.
In addition to these core concepts, Buddha's philosophy emphasizes the impermanence of all things, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the importance of compassion and non-harm towards all living beings. Buddha also rejected the caste system and emphasized the importance of personal responsibility for one's actions and their consequences.
Suffering (dukkha) is an inherent part of life.
The cause of suffering is desire and attachment (tanha).
Suffering can be overcome by eliminating desire and attachment.
The path to the end of suffering is the Eightfold Path.
Right understanding (samma ditthi)
Right intention (samma sankappa)
Right speech (samma vaca)
Right action (samma kammanta)
Right livelihood (samma ajiva)
Right effort (samma vayama)
Right mindfulness (samma sati)
Right concentration (samma samadhi)
Nothing is lost in the universe
Everything Changes
The Law of Cause and Effect
In Buddhism, the law of karma, says "for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful." Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that the responsibility for unskillful actions is borne by the person who commits them.
After his enlightenment, the Buddha went to the Deer Park near the holy city of Benares and shared his new understanding with five holy men. They understood immediately and became his disciples. This marked the beginning of the Buddhist community. For the next forty-five years, the Buddha and his disciples went from place to place in India spreading the Dharma, his teachings. Their compassion knew no bounds; they helped everyone along the way, beggars, kings and slave girls. At night, they would sleep where they were; when hungry they would ask for a little food.
Wherever the Buddha went, he won the hearts of the people because he dealt with their true feelings. He advised them not to accept his words on blind faith, but to decide for themselves whether his teachings are right or wrong, then follow them. He encouraged everyone to have compassion for each other and develop their own virtue: "You should do your own work, for I can teach only the way.”
Once, the Buddha and his disciple Ananda visited a monastery where a monk was suffering from a contagious disease. The poor man lay in a mess with no one looking after him. The Buddha himself washed the sick monk and placed him on a new bed. Afterwards, he admonished the other monks: "Monks, you have neither mother nor father to look after you. If you do not look after each other, who will look after you? Whoever serves the sick and suffering, serves me.”
After many such cycles, if a person releases their attachment to desire and the self, they can attain Nirvana. This is a state of liberation and freedom from suffering.
These three consist of:
Sila: Virtue, good conduct, morality. This is based on two fundamental principles: The principle of equality: that all living entities are equal. The principle of reciprocity: This is the "Golden Rule" in Christianity - to do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you. It is found in all major religions.
Samadhi: Concentration, meditation, mental development. Developing one's mind is the path to wisdom which, in turn, leads to personal freedom. Mental development also strengthens and controls our mind; this helps us maintain good conduct.
Prajna: Discernment, insight, wisdom, enlightenment. This is the real heart of Buddhism. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm. The first two paths listed in the Eightfold Path, described below, refer to discernment; the last three belong to concentration; the middle three are related to virtue.
The Buddha's Four Noble Truths explore human suffering. They may be described ( somewhat
simplistically) as:
Dukkha: Suffering exists: Life is suffering. Suffering is real and almost universal. Suffering has many causes: loss, sickness, pain, failure, and the impermanence of pleasure.
Samudaya: There is a cause of suffering. Suffering is due to attachment. It is the desire to have and control things. It can take many forms: craving of sensual pleasures; the desire for fame; the desire to avoid unpleasant sensations, like fear, anger or jealousy.
Nirodha: There is an end to suffering. Attachment can be overcome. Suffering ceases with the final liberation of Nirvana (Nibbana). The mind experiences complete freedom, liberation and non-attachment. It lets go of any desire or craving.
Magga: In order to end suffering, you must follow the Eightfold Path. There is a path for accomplishing this.
The five precepts
These are rules to live by. They are somewhat analogous to the second half of the Ten Commandments in
Judaism and Christianity
Do not kill: This is sometimes translated as "not harming" or an absence of violence.
Do not steal: This is generally interpreted as including the avoidance of fraud and economic exploitation.
Do not lie: This is sometimes interpreted as including name-calling, gossip, etc.
Do not misuse sex: For monks and nuns, this means any departure from complete celibacy. For the laity, adultery is forbidden, along with any sexual harassment or exploitation, including that within marriage. The Buddha did not discuss consensual premarital sex within a committed relationship, thus, Buddhist traditions differ on this.
Most Buddhists, probably influenced by their local cultures, condemn same-sex sexual activity regardless of the nature of the relationship between the people involved.
Do not consume alcohol or other drugs: The main concern here is that intoxicants cloud the mind. Some have included as a drug other methods of divorcing ourselves from reality -- e.g. movies, television, and the Internet.
Buddhism is a religion and philosophy that originated in ancient Nepal and was founded by the Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama. It is based on his teachings and is focused on the goal of ending human suffering and achieving inner peace and liberation.
Buddhism is practiced by millions of people around the world and has different forms and traditions. Some of the major traditions of Buddhism include Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.
Theravada Buddhism is prevalent in Southeast Asia and focuses on the study and practice of the Buddha's teachings as recorded in the Pali Canon.
Mahayana Buddhism is practiced in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, among other places, and emphasizes the importance of compassion and the concept of emptiness. Vajrayana Buddhism is practiced mainly in Tibet and emphasizes the use of meditation, ritual, and visualization to attain spiritual realization.
Buddhism does not believe in a creator god or gods and instead focuses on personal responsibility and the role of karma in determining one's future. The goal of Buddhist practice is to attain enlightenment, which involves the elimination of suffering and the attainment of a state of inner peace and liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
Buddhism has had a significant impact on art, culture, and philosophy throughout Asia and beyond. It has also been the subject of numerous academic studies and has influenced fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness meditation.
The Buddha was a charismatic leader who founded a distinctive religious community based on his unique teachings. Some of the members of that community were, like the Buddha himself, wandering ascetics. Others were laypersons who venerated the Buddha, followed certain aspects of his teachings, and provided the wandering ascetics with the material support that they required.
In the centuries following the Buddha’s death, the story of his life was remembered and embellished, his teachings were preserved and developed, and the community that he had established became a significant religious force. Many of the wandering ascetics who followed the Buddha settled in permanent monastic establishments and developed monastic rules. At the same time, the Buddhist laity came to include important members of the economic and political elite.
During its first century of existence, Buddhism spread from its place of origin in Magadha and Kosala throughout much of northern India, including the areas of Mathura and Ujjayani in the west. According to Buddhist tradition, invitations to the Council of Vesali (Sanskrit: Vaishali), held just over a century after the Buddha’s death, were sent to monks living throughout northern and central India. By the middle of the 3rd century BCE, Buddhism had gained the favour of a Mauryan king, Ashoka, who had established an empire that extended from the Himalayas in the north to almost as far as Sri Lanka in the south.
Buddhism has a long and rich history in Nepal, which is the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. Nepalese Buddhists primarily practice either Theravada or Mahayana Buddhism, and the country is home to many important Buddhist pilgrimage sites and monasteries.
Lumbini, located in southern Nepal, is the birthplace of Buddha and is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Buddhists. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to several monasteries and temples built by Buddhist communities from around the world. Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is another important center of Buddhism in the country.
The city is home to several important Buddhist sites, including the Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, and the Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest stupas in the world.
In addition to these pilgrimage sites, there are many monasteries and meditation centers throughout Nepal, where both Nepalese and foreign Buddhists come to study and practice Buddhism. The Kopan Monastery, located on the outskirts of Kathmandu, is a popular destination for students of Buddhism and offers courses on meditation, philosophy, and Tibetan language. Buddhism continues to be an important part of Nepalese culture and identity, with a rich history and strong presence in many parts of the country.
Buddhism is the second-largest religion in Nepal. According to 2001 census, 10.74% of Nepal's population practiced Buddhism, consisting mainly of Tibeto-Burman-speaking ethnicities, the Newar. However, in the 2011 census, Buddhists made up just 9% of the country's population.
In Nepal, the majority of people identify as Hindu. However, Buddhist influences are pervasive in most aspects of the culture of Nepal to an extent that Buddhist and Hindu temples are shared places of worship for peoples of both faiths so that, unlike in other countries, the distinction between Hinduism and Buddhism in Nepal is not always clear.
During the reign of King Amshuverma, the Nepalese princess Bhrikuti played a significant role in spreading and developing Buddhism in Tibet. Tibetan Buddhist architecture has long been influenced by Nepalese artists and sculptors like Araniko. The sacred Buddhist texts in Mahayana Buddhism are mainly written in the Ranjana alphabet, the script of the Newars, or scripts like Lantsa, which are derived from Ranjana.
Tripitaka, also known as the Pali Canon, is the primary scripture of Theravada Buddhism. It is a collection of the Buddha's teachings, which were compiled and written down in the Pali language, the liturgical language of Theravada Buddhism.
The Tripitaka is composed of three main sections, which are known as the Three Baskets or Tripitaka in Pali. These are the Vinaya Pitaka (the Basket of Discipline), the Sutta Pitaka (the Basket of Discourses), and the Abhidhamma Pitaka (the Basket of Higher Teachings).
The Vinaya Pitaka contains the rules and regulations for monastic life, outlining the code of conduct for Buddhist monks and nuns. The Sutta Pitaka contains the Buddha's discourses, which cover a wide range of topics such as ethics, philosophy, psychology, and meditation. The Abhidhamma Pitaka contains more advanced philosophical and psychological teachings that explore the nature of reality and the workings of the mind.
The Tripitaka is considered to be the most authoritative and comprehensive collection of Buddhist teachings, and it has played a central role in the development and spread of Theravada Buddhism throughout Southeast Asia. It is also used as a primary source for academic and scholarly study of Buddhism.
The Tripitaka has been preserved through an oral tradition of recitation and memorization by monks, which has ensured its accuracy and authenticity over the centuries. In addition, the scriptures have been written down and translated into many languages, making them accessible to people all over the world.

Nepal is a country with a diverse and rich religious heritage. Hinduism and Buddhism are the two major religions practiced in Nepal, and they have coexisted and influenced each other for centuries. Other religions, including Islam, Christianity, and Sikhism, are also practiced in Nepal, but they are less common.
Hinduism is the largest religion in Nepal, and it has been practiced in the region for over 2,000 years. Many of the country's most important religious sites are Hindu, including Pashupatinath , one of the most important Hindu temples in the world, located in Kathmandu. Hinduism in Nepal is characterized by a syncretic blend of different traditions, including tantric practices, ancestor worship, and the worship of local deities.
Buddhism is also a major religion in Nepal, particularly in the western regions of the country, where many Tibetan refugees have settled since the Chinese takeover of Tibet in 1959. Nepal is the birthplace of Buddha, and several important Buddhist pilgrimage sites are located in the country, including Lumbini, where Buddha was born Tibetan Buddhism is the most common form of Buddhism practiced in Nepal, and it is characterized by its emphasis on meditation and the use of ritual practices to achieve enlightenment.

Many Nepalese practice a syncretic blend of Hinduism and Buddhism, and there is a significant overlap between the two religions in Nepal. In recent years, Nepal has also become more open to other religions, and there has been a growing interest in Christianity, particularly among younger generations.
Ramagram is an important archaeological site located in Nepal, about 25 kilometers east of Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. The site is significant for both Hindus and Buddhists, as it is believed to be the location of a stupa that contained relics of Lord Rama, a revered Hindu deity, as well as relics of the Buddha.
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Rama was the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu, and he is considered one of the most important deities in Hinduism. It is believed that after Lord Rama's death, his brother, King Laxman, built a stupa at Ramagram to house his relics. The stupa was later destroyed during the Muslim invasions of India in the 14th century.
In Buddhist tradition, Ramagram is believed to be one of the eight stupas that contained the relics of the Buddha, which were distributed after his death. The relics were said to be the Buddha's physical remains, including bone fragments, teeth, and hair.
The stupas were built by King Ashoka, one of the most famous rulers in Indian history, and they were intended to serve as places of worship and pilgrimage for Buddhists.
The discovery of a small urn containing bone fragments at the Ramagram site in 2013 has led to renewed interest in the site, particularly among Buddhists. The discovery has been hailed as a significant archaeological find, as it provides evidence of the site's historical and religious importance.
The Nepalese government has also expressed interest in developing the site for tourism, which could bring more attention and resources to the area.
