Where is it | Lumbini, Nepal |
What is it | The site believed to be where Gautama Buddha was born and began a life that would serve as an example for others in search of inner peace. |
Main attractions | Gardens, reflecting pool, and temples constructed to capture the styles of Buddhists all over the globe. |
Psychedelic Merit | Buddhist or not, the site is humbling. Utterly calm, and vast enough that its beauty is only revealed one piece at a time. And if you have visited a temple in one of the nations whose architectural style is featured here, it’s bound to stir a sense of nostalgia and longing for the places you’ve tread before. |
Comments | Despite listing the site in this blog and though psychedelics are easy to find in Nepal, I would personally recommend abstaining from taking any at this site, as at least some forms of Buddhism forbid them. |
