This may be one of the oldest Buddhist temples ever discovered

By Tom Metcalfe published 10 days ago

It was built within a few hundred years of the death of the founder of Buddhism, Siddhārtha Gautama.

He is impeccable in conduct and understanding, the Serene One, the Knower of the Worlds;
He trains perfectly those who wish to be trained; he is Teacher of gods and men; he is Awake and Holy. "

Apparent here and now, timeless, encouraging investigation,
Leading to liberation, to be experienced individually by the wise. "

At the moment, I don't put this in the Mahabodhi replicas thread because I haven't yet found the exact map location of the site.


This small replica seems to be in Dhammatheri Forest Meditation center, OkeShitPin Township, Myanmar.

Photos from fb account representing the place;

The main replica similar to the one in following sample photo (also from the above fb account) is probably in the initial stages of setting up somewhere nearby, imo.

Cat resting on the Buddha's lap, I enjoy images like these because they evoke a wholesome feeling.
