Sarnath
Monastery devoted to lord Shiva.
Sarnath is a place located 10 kilometres North-East of Varanasi, near the confluence of the Ganges and the Varuna rivers.
According to Buddhist tradition, Sarnath is where, circa 528 BCE, at 35 years of age, Gautama Buddha taught his first sermon after attaining enlightenment a Bodh Gaya. It is also traditionally considered as the place where the Buddhist sangha first came into existence as a result of the enlightenment of his first five disciples (Kaundinya, Assaji, Bhaddiya, Vappa and Mahanama).
According to the Mahaparinibbana Sutta (Sutta 16 of the Digha Nikaya), the Buddha mentioned Sarnath as one of the four places of pilgrimage his devout followers should visit and look upon with feelings of reverence. The other three sites are Lumbini (the traditional birthplace of the Buddha), Bodh Gaya (where Buddhists say the Buddha achieved enlightenment), and Kushinagar (where Buddhists say the Buddha attained parinirvana).
Sarnath
Manastir posvecen bogu Sivi.
Sarnath je mesto koje se nalazi 10 kilometara severoistočno od Varanasija, blizu ušća reke Varune u Gang.
Prema budističkoj tradiciji, Sarnath je mesto gde je, oko 528. pre nove ere, sa 35 godina, Gautama Buda održao svoju prvu propoved nakon što je doziveo prosvetljenje kao Bodh Gaia. Takođe se tradicionalno smatra mestom gde je budistička sangha prvi put nastala kao rezultat prosvetljenja njegovih prvih pet učenika (Kaundinia, Assaji, Bhaddiia, Vappa i Mahanama).
Prema Mahaparinibbana Sutti (Sutta 16 Digha Nikaia), Buda je pomenuo Sarnath kao jedno od četiri mesta hodočašća koje njegovi pobožni sledbenici treba da posete i na koje gledaju sa osećanjem poštovanja. Ostala tri mesta su Lumbini (rodno mesto Bude), Bodh Gaja (gde budisti kažu da je Buda postigao prosvetljenje) i Kušinagar (gde budisti kažu da je Buda postigao parinirvanu).
