Wed 16-Jan-2019: We left Lumbini and recrossed the border to get back into India and stopped at Shravasti. At this city, we visited the Jetavana Temple. It was the place where the Buddha gave the majority of his teachings, having passed at Jetavana nineteen out of 45 vassas, more than in any other monastery. We also visited Anathapindika's stupa. Anathapindika was a wealthy merchant who had known for his generosity in giving offering to the Buddha and others in need. Finally, we visited the Twin Miracle, the place where the Buddha ascended to the Trayastrimsa Heaven as part of visiting his mother Maya and preaching the Dhamma to her.
