A four-day international conference on the “Preservation, Protection and Promotion of Buddhist Culture and Heritage” was held from 15–18 November at the Lumbini Sacred Garden, the birthplace of the Buddha, in Nepal. Jointly organized by the Theravada Buddhist Academy, affiliated to the Lumbini Buddhist University of Nepal, and the International Sitagu Buddhist Academy of Myanmar, the conference issued a 23-point declaration encompassing different topics ranging from Buddhist heritage and education to environmental conservation in Lumbini.
The forum was attended by more than 800 representative members of the sangha, cabinet ministers, diplomats, Buddhist scholars, archeologists, climatologists, and journalists from 32 countries. Inaugurating the conference on 15 November, Nepal’s president Dr. Ram Baran Yadav emphasized that Buddhism was not only a religion but also an important philosophy, and therefore everyone should internalize it.
Union Minister for Religious Affairs of Myanmar U Soe Win pointed out the necessity of promoting Buddhism, while the chancellor of the Sitagu International Buddhist Academy of Myanmar, Venerable Dr. Ashin Nyanissara, and the principal of the Theravada Buddhist Academy, Venerable Dr. Jnanapurnika Mahasthabir, spoke of the importance of the Buddhist religion and its connection with Lumbini.
Discussions were held on 86 working papers under five different themes: Lumbini’s Buddhist heritage; world Buddhist heritage; Buddhist culture; the Buddhist education system; and environmental conservation. The keynote speakers were: Prof. Robin Cunningham, Durham University, England; Prof. Asanga Tilakratne, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka; Dr. Rabindra Panth, director of the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara, Bihar, India; and Venerable Dr. Sugandha, deputy rector, Mahamakut Buddhist University, Bangkok, Thailand.
The concluding ceremony was held in the Myanmar Dhamma Hall in the Theravada monastic zone, where the “Lumbini Declaration” was announced. It was signed by U Soe Win and Venerable Dr. Ashin Nyanissara, along with 50 other representatives from different countries.
The conference placed an emphasis on the need for a joint effort by the global community for the promotion of archeological and spiritually significant world Buddhist heritage sites, the promotion and protection of Lumbini, and the spread of Buddhist education around the world. The issue of the rising level of pollution in Lumbini and the surrounding environment was raised, and calls were made for international organizations to work together for the sustainable development of Lumbini and the adjoining areas.
Bhikshu Nigrodha, secretary of the International Buddhist Conference Organising Committee, claimed the conference to have been a remarkable accomplishment. “It was able to highlight the historical and cultural importance of Lumbini,” he said. “But more than that, it was successful in pointing at the importance of Lumbini from the academic perspective.”
Alongside the conference, The Lumbini Development Trust organized a photo exhibition and slide-show presentation highlighting Lumbini in earlier times and comparing the progress made between the visit of UN Secretary General U Thant in April 1967 and events after the implementation of the Lumbini Master Plan in December 1972.
The participants in the conference also visited the monasteries of various countries represented in Lumbini’s monastic zone. Additionally, on the last day, the organizers arranged for international participants to take a cultural tour of the Lumbini heritage sites of Gotihawa, Tilaurakot, Kudan, Devdaha, and Ramgram.

Buddhism from Lumbini to the world
The history of the city of Kathmandu(काठमाडौं शहर को इतिहास)
Archaeological excavations in parts of Kathmandu have found evidence of ancient civilizations. The oldest of these findings is a statue, found in Maligaon, that was dated at 185 AD.[8] The excavation of Dhando Chaitya uncovered a brick with an inscription in Brahmi script. Archaeologists believe it is two thousand years old.[8] Stone inscriptions are a ubiquitous element at heritage sites and are key sources for the history of Nepal.
The earliest Western reference to Kathmandu appears in an account of Jesuit Fathers Johann Grueber and Albert d'Orville. In 1661, they passed through Nepal on their way from Tibet to India, and reported that they reached Cadmendu, the capital of Nepal kingdom.[9]
Ancient history Edit
The ancient history of Kathmandu is described in its traditional myths and legends. According to Swayambhu Purana, present-day Kathmandu was once a huge and deep lake named Nagdaha, as it was full of snakes. The lake was cut drained by Bodhisatwa Manjusri with his sword, and the water was evacuated out from there. He then established a city called Manjupattan, and made Dharmakar the ruler of the valley land. After sometime, a demon named Banasur closed the outlet, and the valley was again a lake. Then lord Krishna came to Nepal, killed Banasur, and again drained out the water. He brought some Gopals along with him and made Bhuktaman the king of Nepal.[10][11][12]
Kotirudra Samhita of Shiva Purana, Chapter 11, shloka 18 refers to the place as Nayapala city, which was famous for its Pashupati Shivalinga. The name Nepal probably originates from this city Nayapala.
Very few historical records exist of the period before the medieval Licchavis rulers. According to Gopalraj Vansawali, a genealogy of Nepali monarchs, the rulers of Kathmandu Valley before the Licchavis were Gopalas, Mahispalas, Aabhirs, Kirants, and Somavanshi.[12][13] The Kirata dynasty was established by Yalamber. During the Kirata era, a settlement called Yambu existed in the northern half of old Kathmandu. In some of the Sino-Tibetan languages, Kathmandu is still called Yambu. Another smaller settlement called Yengal was present in the southern half of old Kathmandu, near Manjupattan. During the reign of the seventh Kirata ruler, Jitedasti, Buddhist monks entered Kathmandu valley and established a forest monastery at Sankhu.
Map of Kathmandu, 1802
Licchavi era Edit
The Licchavis from the Indo-Gangetic plain migrated north and defeated the Kiratas, establishing the Licchavi dynasty, circa 400 AD. During this era, following the genocide of Shakyas in Lumbini by Virudhaka, the survivors migrated north and entered the forest monastery in Sankhu masquerading as Koliyas. From Sankhu, they migrated to Yambu and Yengal (Lanjagwal and Manjupattan) and established the first permanent Buddhist monasteries of Kathmandu. This created the basis of Newar Buddhism, which is the only surviving Sanskrit-based Buddhist tradition in the world.[14] With their migration, Yambu was called Koligram and Yengal was called Dakshin Koligram[15] during most of the Licchavi era.[16]
Eventually, the Licchavi ruler Gunakamadeva merged Koligram and Dakshin Koligram, founding the city of Kathmandu.[16] The city was designed in the shape of Chandrahrasa, the sword of Manjushri. The city was surrounded by eight barracks guarded by Ajimas. One of these barracks is still in use at Bhadrakali (in front of Singha Durbar). The city served as an important transit point in the trade between India and Tibet, leading to tremendous growth in architecture. Descriptions of buildings such as Managriha, Kailaskut Bhawan, and Bhadradiwas Bhawan have been found in the surviving journals of travelers and monks who lived during this era. For example, the famous 7th-century Chinese traveller Xuanzang described Kailaskut Bhawan, the palace of the Licchavi king Amshuverma.[17] The trade route also led to cultural exchange as well. The artistry of the Newar people—the indigenous inhabitants of the Kath
