Time flies

One of my most memorable trip was to take Jun to Nepal to visit the birthplace of Buddha in Lumbini.The sense of peace of mind that came by visiting one of the holy sites of Buddhism was immense.I touched the sai tree where he was born and saw the imprint of his footstep in the mayadevi temple and the Asoka pillar with inscriptions. How time flies and soon i will plan to do a pilgrimage of the next 3 holy sites of Bodhgaya,Kushinagar,Sarnath and visit the Mahabodhi temple.its a trip i will make before my aging body slows down making travel exhausting and my legs are weaker.

Are the Buddhas relics real as if it has been scientifically verified by DNA testing.But historically records say Asoka broke 7 stupas containing his teeth,hair and bone fragments and distributed them to Buddhist monastery in the region.I visited the Temple of the tooth relic in Kandy Sri Lanka and realised most of the relics were kept enshrined in Sri Lanka.
