The weather was surprisingly wonderful today, so I went to the town centre wearing T-shirt with Buddha’s photo. Three guys came to me and hugged. After having chat for a while they expressed their wish to born in Lumbini, Nepal where Buddha was born in their next life. I said, “Tathastu (Amen)” and we hugged each other again. This time we had different feeling than before.— with Sonam Rinpoche and
Ram Kumar Shrestha Definitely soon Nepal will be the source of World Peace as this is the birthplace of Buddha, but we too need to be serious for this with broad mind. Lots of positive symptoms and we are in the 21st century – also called as epoch of internet.
Amber Gurung was born in Darjeeling, where his father, Ujir Singh Gurung, a former soldier in the British Indian Army, was serving as a policeman. His mother encouraged him to sing and compose as a child, and he taught himself to play both Indian and Western instruments. He studied at Turnbull School, Darjeeling, where he had fallen in love with music singing Bible hymns.
In the 1950s, one of his important associations was with the Nepali poet Agam Singh Giri. He became the headmaster of Bhanu Bhakta School founded by Giri and instituted a music school, the Art Academy of Music, in the school’s premises. He recorded his famous song “Nau Lakh Tara” (a song about the sufferings of the Nepali diaspora in India) in the early 1960s, written by Agam Singh Giri. His students at his academy included musicians and singers such as Gopal Yonzon, Karma Yonzon, Aruna Lama, Sharan Pradhan, Peter Karthak, Indra Gajmer, Jitendra Bardewa and Ranjit Gazmer. He worked as the Music Chief of Folk Entertainment Unit, Government of West Bengal, Darjeeling from 1962 to 1965. Here, he was barred from singing or recording songs outside the unit. He moved to Kathmandu, Nepal in 1969.

अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुका लागी सार्वजनिक भवन र सौचालयहरुमा सहज आवगमनका लागी नेपाल सरकारले संपूर्ण सार्वजनिक महत्वका भवनहरु सौचालय समेत अपाङ्ग मैत्री बनाउन अतयन्त जरुरी छ। नेपालको राजधानी काठमाडौँमा पनि अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुका लागी सबै स्थानहरु जस्तै कलेज, भोजनालयहरु, सुपरमार्केट र मलहरु आदिमा जानको लागी लगभग असम्भव जस्तै छ। त्यति मात्र णबएर हरेक नागरीकले पाउनु पर्ने अधिकारहरुको निम्ति धाउनु पर्ने सरकारी कार्यलयहरु पनि अपाङ्ग मैत्री छैनन्।
यस्तो अवस्थामा शारीरिक अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुको जिवन कष्टकर रहेको छ। उदारहणका लागी उनीहरुमा क्षमता हुँदा हुदै पनि आफुले चाहेको विषय र कलेजमा अध्यन गर्न पाउँदैनन्, किनमेलका लागी मन लागेका पसल र मलहरुमा जान सक्दैनन्। सबै भन्दा दुखद कुरा त यो शहरमा भएका लगभग कुनै पनि सार्वजनिक सौचालयहरुमा पनि अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरु ढुक्क सँग जान सक्दैनन्।
यसरी हामीले बिभिन्न सेवा र सुविधा अनि अन्य कह र अधिकारको कुरा गरिरहँदा हाम्रो देशको राजधानीमा नै अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरु भने आधारभुत अधिकारबाट बन्चित भईरहेका छन्। सँसारका प्राय सबै मुलुकहरुले अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुका लागी विशेष व्यवस्था गर्न थालेको अहिलेको यो समयमा हाम्रो देशमा भने अपाङ्ग मैत्री सँरचना पनि नहुनु भनेको लज्जास्पद र दुर्भाग्य पुर्ण कुरा पनि भएको छ। आप्नो देशका अपाङ्ग व्यक्तिहरु मात्र हैन भोलिका दिनमा भ्रमणमा आउने कुनै अपाङ्ग पर्यटकले यहाँ कदम कदममा दुख भोग्नु पर्ने हुन सक्छ र त्यहि कुरा को उसले आफ्नो देशमा कुन हिसाबमा प्रचार गर्ला भनेर हामीलाई अनुमान गर्न गार्हो छैन।
तसर्थ सार्वजनिक भवन र तिनका सौचालयहरुलाई अपाङ्ग मैत्री बनाएर नेपाल सरकारले अपाङ्ग नागरिकहरुको पन आधारभुत हक र अधिकारहरु सुनिश्चित गरोस् भन्ने हाम्रो जोडदार माग छ। Read the rest of this entry »

Lumbini is in Nepal. It is geographically located 25 km east of the municipality of Kapilavastu, Nepal; where the Buddha lived till the age of 29. Lumbini has a number of temples, including the Mayadevi temple, and others under construction. Also here is the Puskarini or Holy Pond – where the Buddha’s mother took the ritual dip prior to his birth and where he, too, had his first bath – as well as the remains of Kapilvastu palace. At other sites near Lumbini, earlier Buddhas were, according to tradition, born, achieved ultimate awakening and finally relinquished earthly form. Read the rest of this entry »
Parijat (1937–1993) was a Nepali writer. Her real name was Bishnu Kumari Waiba but she wrote under the pen name Parijat. Her most acclaimed publication is Siris Ko Phul (The Blue Mimosa), which has also been adapted in the literature curriculum of some colleges in some English-speaking countries.
Parijat was born in 1937 in the hill station of Darjeeling, a place known for its tea gardens. Because her mother Amrita Moktan died early, she was raised by her father Dr. K.N. Waiba, who was a psychologist, and her grandparents.
Parijat completed part of her schooling in Darjeeling and came to Kathmandu, Nepal in 1954. She completed her schooling at Padma Kanya School and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. Suffering early on from physical ailments, at 26 she became paralyzed and was supported for much of her life by her sister.
Career
In 1959, Parijat’s first poem was published by Dharti. She published three poetry collections: Akansha, Parijat Ka Kavita and Baisalu Bartaman. Her first short story was Maile Najanmayeko Choro. She is, however, best known in Nepal as a novelist. Altogether, she wrote ten novels of which Siris Ko Ful gained the greatest popularity. In 1965, she was awarded with the Madan Puraskar for the novel. She also received the Sarwashrestha Pandulipi Puraskar, Gandaki Basunahara Puraskar, and Bridabrit. Siris Ko Phul is one of the most important piece of work in the whole of Nepalese literature. Read the rest of this entry »

Introduction/Contents
Many of us know about Buddha and how he was the enlightened one. But, do any of us know what enlightened means and how he became enlightened?
Throughout this project I will be covering:

What is Buddhism?
Buddhism has around 350 million followers worldwide. With approximately 150,000 active Buddhists in the UK. This number is increasing all the time.
Buddhism began in north-eastern India and is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Buddha. The religion is 2,500 years old. Many Asian countries have Buddhism as one of their main religions. Buddhism is a religion about suffering and the need to get rid of. Nirvana is a key concept of Buddhism and Nirvana means, the most enlightened, and blissful state that one can achieve. It is a state without suffering.
Unlike many other religions, Buddhism is not centred on the relationship between humanity and God. Buddhists don’t believe in a personal creator or God. The Buddhist tradition is founded on and inspired by the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. He was called the Buddha and lived in the 4th or 5th century B.C. in India.
Siddhartha Gautama also known as Buddha was born in the village of Lumbini, in Nepal, around the year 580 BCE. He was born into a royal family and for many years lived within the palace walls away from the sufferings of life; sufferings such as sickness, age, and death. He did not know what these were. One day, after growing-up, marrying and having a child, Siddhartha went outside the royal palace and saw, each for the first time, an old man, a sick man, and a corpse. He was worried by what he saw. He learned that sickness, age, and death were the inevitable fate of human beings. This was a fate no-one could avoid. Siddhartha also had seen a monk when he went outside the royal palace and this was when he decided that this was a sign that he should leave his protected royal life and live as a homeless holy man. Siddhartha Gautama’s travels showed him much more of the sufferings of the world. He searched for a way to escape the inevitability of death, old age and pain first by studying with religious men. This didn’t provide him with an answer. Read the rest of this entry »
