Long Discourse of the Buddha #16 Inspiring for Pilgrimage Journey

Here is a link to Long Discourse #16

My Pilgrimages included Rajagaha. I rode the Bucket Ride to see the Peace Stupa on Mount Vulture Peak which is the mountain the Buddha was on at the beginning of the discourse. I visited Vesali and Kusinara which are also referred to in the discourse.

I took the train to Patna and rode the bus from there to Vesali.

Buddha predicted that Pataliputta would be the chief city of the Noble Base in the future, and in fact, it was very important historically then. Pataliputta sent Buddhist missionaries to many places. I share credit for my opportunity to study about Buddha's quotations to Pataliputta's service to Buddha's dispensation.

In addition to LD#16, Buddha's Noble reference can also be found in the Udana. Here is a link.
