Visited the Vaishali Relic Stupa where we met a Bante. He led us in making 3 rounds and chanting Ratana sutra (jewel discourse for protection) and told us about the area. This is where they dug out the relics of Buddha and now placed in the Patna musuem. Currently they are trying very hard to get the relics back to Vaishali where it belonged.
Next we visited the King Asoka Pillars and his Stupa. Listened to the discourse about that place.
Vaishali is also the place where Buddha spent his last Vassa and the place where he relinquished his will to live and announced that he will be entering into parinibbana at Kushingar.
