Reasons Why Buddhists From All Countries Travel
To India
Buddhism is not the biggest religion in India, but it is a significant one considering the sizable population of Buddhists
in the country. And the country also holds a special place in the religion with Buddhists performing pilgrimage from all
over the globe. Their reasons for taking Buddhist trips to India can be summed up as follows:
Country Where Buddhism Was Born
India holds a special place in the minds of Buddhists as the birthplace of Buddhism. It was in Bodhgaya, Bihar, that
Lord Buddha attained enlightenment after spending many years searching for it fruitlessly. And it is in Sarnath, Uttar
Pradesh, where he started teaching the Dhamma.
And it was from this country that the religion spread to other parts of the world over the years. So it’s no wonder that India is an
important stop for Buddhists worldwide seeking to soak in the country’s spiritual vibes and retrace the footsteps of the Buddha.
Home To Important Buddhist Sites
As the birthplace of Buddhism, India is dotted with monasteries, stupas, and temples, many of
them dating back to the days of the Buddha himself. Many of these sites receive pilgrims from
all over the world offering devotion to the Buddha while many hold historic significance as
well.
Three of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage places: Bodhgaya, Sarnath, and Kushinagar
are in India, while the fourth Lumbini is located in the neighbouring country of Nepal and is
accessible through select Buddhist Circuit Tour packages.
Other significant sites essential to Buddhism located in India include Nalanda (which once
had a monastery where students from all over the world would come to learn), Rajgir (one of
the Buddha’s most important preaching locations) and Sravasti (considered his monsoon
retreat) among others.
With so many significant locations associated with Buddhism, India is an ideal location not
only for Buddhist pilgrimage but also to learn more about the religion’s history.
Dedicated Buddhist Tour Packages
With so many places associated with Buddhism dotted throughout India, there are also many
tour packages run by the government and private entities. One such program that can help
a Buddhist travel to destinations directly associated with the Buddha is the Buddhist Circuit
Tourist Train (BCTT).
BCTT is an IRCTC-operated train that takes travellers to some of the most significant
locations associated with the life of the Buddha in India and even Lumbini in Nepal. It offers
many amenities like air conditioning, a restaurant and a sitting area.
If you plan on travelling to explore India’s Buddhist monasteries and stupas for religious or
exploratory purposes, be sure to research reliable packages and travel requirements when
making plans.
