Excerpt
Excerpt: Just before the Buddha attained final Nirvana he urged his disciples to visit, at least once in their lives, the places where the most important events in his career occurred. In the centuries since then pilgrims from all over the Buddhist world have endured danger and hardship to come to India to see the places made sacred by the Buddha's presence. Middle Land, Middle Way is the first comprehensive guidebook for the modern Buddhist wishing to undertake a pilgrimage. In the introduction the author gives an inspiring account of the significance and history of pilgrimage in Buddhism, as well as the biographies of famous pilgrims of the past. Then sixteen places are covered, the Buddha's association with each place, their subsequent history and a detailed and informative description of the monuments found there. With maps and color photos Middle Land, Middle Way is an essential companion for both the pilgrim and the general traveler.
