About Buddhist Site in Andhradesa !!!

         

         The Amaravati ruins first caught the attention of scholars in the late 19th century and a number of collections of artifacts from Amaravati complex are exhibited in a number of museums around the world. Relic caskets were discovered here during the excavations conducted during the period of 1957-67 at the Mahastupa site.

Nagarjunakonda is an ancient Buddhist monastery complex situated on the banks of the Krishna River. It was a prominent center of learning during ancient times and takes its name from the scholarly monk. The present site is said to have been earlier called Sriparvata (‘Hill of Nagarjuna’). Numerous Buddhist remains have been excavated since its discovery in 1926. The remains unearthed include a Mahastupa, remains of several monasteries and numerous artifacts including inscriptions and sculptures. As the original site was submerged in water during the construction of Nagarjuna Sagar reservoir built in 1960s, these have been reconstructed on higher locations close by. Buddhism had slowly declined from it’s motherland  India due to various factors. But now it is slowly regaining and the glory of Dhamma is widely spreading in India. Today Buddhists in India are minority community. Until 50 years ago there was hardly a handful of Buddhist monks scattered in remote mountain states in India. Although Buddhists are being accepted as minority community, there is no help and support from the government and other communities.

Lot of youngsters are trying to understand and coming forward to know about Buddhism in India. It is our prime duty to motivate and educate about the “Dhamma” as taught by the Buddha. For this we need more monks and Upasakas and Upakasikas in the Sangha to spread the Buddha Dhamma. With few dedicated followers we are trying to revive the lost Buddha Dhamma in state of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana.

It is well known fact that the SIDDHARTHA BUDDHA VIHARA TRUST is an essential centre for accommodating students, trainees, Monks and other pilgrims from Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Sri Lanka and other Buddhists countries around the world. While giving our services to them we are facing problems due to non availability of sufficient space. So now our trust has decided to increase the space area by taking up further civil construction works with a view to provide comfortable accommodation for needy persons who comes from Myanmar, Thailand and other parts of the world.

In view of the facts mentioned above, we, therefore, welcome and fervently request to all Donors, support us and contribute generously for a noble cause and for the construction of Monastery in  Hyderabad Telangana & Andhra Pradesh, India.
