The last day of the trip to western Nepal, we went to Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha.
There was a large gated compound. Many different countries had built their own
monasteries, including France, Cambodia, China, Thailand, and many more. We
only had time to see a few. We also saw the actual birthplace of Buddha. There
were some ruins of the old palace (he was born a prince). We were not allowed
to take pictures inside. There were foundations of part of the palace, and in
the center, there was a slab of stone on the floor that could be seen through a
window. They said that it was the exact place of his birth.
