On Thursday May 29, 2014 we visited a Tibetan Monastery. The temple was so beautiful and had art work full of such vibrant colors. The main colors were red and gold. There were sculpted dragons and peacocks in the art. Tibetan is a secular form of Buddhism. Taking the Jetavana Garden as a model, the Buddha's father Shuddhodana in the town of Kapila Vastu, built the Vihara complex known as the Nyagrodhu trees grove. There the Buddha Bhagwan, together with a monastic assembly, miraculously rose into the sky and as a result, innumerable transmigrators gained faith. All of them ,with the exception of Shuddhodana, and Devadatta attained the level of stream enterer. Then, for the sake of Shuddhodana, the Buddha Bhagwan miraculously transferred there the residence of the gods, while he taught. Inside was the huge statue of Buddha. Relatively new with big glass and gold chandeliers .
