Maya Devi Temple摩耶夫人廟,Lumbini 倫比尼


The Sacred Garden consists of the Maya Devi Temple, the pond where Buddha was born and the Ashokan Pillar. Maya Devi Temple is considered to be on the exact site where Buddha was born.

There is a sandstone carving depicting the birth of Buddha. A marker stone which is believed to have been laid by King Ashoka marking the place where Buddha was born is also seen in the temple complex.

摩耶夫人廟, 紀念佛祖出生的確切地點.廟裡的標誌之石在倫比尼是一塊對整個佛教世界最重要的石板.石板地基確定了原來摩耶夫人廟的精確位置.1996年,發現石塊所標誌的佛陀誕生精確地點. 標誌之石上面被一塊堅厚的玻璃保護著,只能站在上面往下看, 這裡是佛陀誕生的確切位置.

聽話、說話要完整,
不要只撿前一句、後一句,
合起來剛剛好尖尖地刺進人心。


Be clear and complete when listen.
Do not pick one sentence here,
and another one there, or you may intensely hurt someone by accident.
