Stop At: Namo Buddha (Stupa), Kathmandu Nepal

Before Lord Buddha could become the enlightened one, he grew into the position through a series of rebirths. In one previous life, he was a prince here in the region of Namo Buddha. It was in a cave that he discovered a tigress that way dying from hunger. Exhausted from giving birth to her cubs, she laid there with life fading from her eyes. Lord Buddha as the prince offered himself to her so she could feed and raise her cubs. He sacrificed himself so she could live

Namo Buddha commemorates this event with a beautiful monastery. Overlooking the snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas to the north, it sits just beyond the Kathmandu Valley Rim. Namo Buddha is a butter lamp burning before sacred idols. See the spot where Lord Buddha offered himself. Walkabout and experience the amazing serenity of this awesome place.

The walls are rich in symbolism as only found in Tibetan Buddhism. Demons and deities gaze down at you from the colorful walls. Buddhist monks perform pujas and then come to study, seeking their own enlighten.

The journey to the Namo Buddha trip is half the fun as you pass through quaint villages while the road rises higher and higher. You see the world’s tallest statue of Lord Shiva, who stands in a protective pose over the Kathmandu Valley. Travel higher to discover the beautiful city of Dhulikhel with its own interesting temples as well as the spatial view of the snowcapped peaks.

It is a day without the hustle and bustle of the Kathmandu Valley. You will enjoy the journey even more with your knowledgeable, English speaking guide. He will explain to you the symbolism of Tibetan Buddhism that will bring alive the story of Lord Buddha in this incredible sacrifice to save a tiger and her cubs.

In any adventure in Nepal, don’t miss Namo Buddha.
