बुद्ध काहाँ जन्मेका हाेलान् ??? (Where was Buddha Born ???)

बुद्ध काहाँ जन्मेका हाेलान् ???


विश्व बौद्ध दिवश तथा बुद्ध जयन्तीको अवसरमा बौद्ध सम्मेलन नेपालमा हुनु र विश्वका शक्तिशाली आणविक राष्ट्रहरुले समेत बुद्ध जयन्तीको शुुभकामना सन्देश दिनु उलेख्य कुरा हो । यसै सन्दर्भमा बुद्ध नेपालमै जन्मिएका हुन् वा होइनन् भन्ने तथ्यले  हामी नेपालीहरुमाझ ठूलै अर्थ राख्ने गरेको छ ।



यहाँ प्रस्तुत तस्विर अष्ट्रेलियाको ओलोङगङ्गस्थित नान तियान बौद्ध  विहारमध्येको एक भवनको भित्तामा टाँसिएको सूचना हो यो । केही समय अघि म मेरो परिवार सहित सिड्नीबासीहरुमाझ लोकप्रिय रहेको यो मन्दिर घुम्न गएको थिएँ ।
नेपाली भएको कारण र बुद्ध नेपालमा नै जन्मेका हुन् भन्ने एकिन स्वाभिमानी मलाई पनि यो विहारमा बुद्धका बारेमा र बुद्ध कहाँ जन्मेका हुन् भन्ने तथ्यलाई कसरी र कहाँ राखिएको छ होला भन्ने कौतुहल हुने नै भयो । म यस बारेको सूचना कतै न कतै त यो विहारमा राखिएको होला भनेर अलि ध्यान दिन थाँले ।
र फेला पाँरे माथिको सूचना । नान तियान विहार घुम्न आउनेको लागि जानकारी दिन राखिएको एक सूचनापाटीमा बुद्धकाे जन्मस्थानबारे लेखिएको यो तथ्यले मलाइ पनि सुरुमै अप्ठेरो अनुभव गरायो ।

सूचनामा लेखिएको छ – ‘बौधवादको स्थापना शाक्यमूनि बुद्धले गरेका हुन् । उनी एक कुनै समयमा दक्षिणी भारत (हाल नेपाल) मा एक धनी शाक्यमूनी परिवारमा  सिद्घार्थ गौतमको रुपमा जन्मेका थिए ।’
सूचनाले फेरी मलाई सोच्न पनि बाध्य तुल्यायो ।

म इतिहाँसको विद्यार्थी होइन । तर नेपाली हो । बुद्ध नेपालमा जन्मेका हुन भन्ने कुराले सबै नेपलीलाई जति सुखको अनुभूति गराँउछ त्यति नै मलाइ पनि गराउँछ । तर अष्ट्रेलियको एक प्रतिष्ठित बुद्ध विहारमा राखिएको यो जनाकारीले मेरो पनि टाउको दुखायो ।
तर सामान्य अर्थमा माथिको सूचनाले दूइटा तथ्य एकै साथ दिन्छ । र म जस्तालाई भुक्याउँछ पनि ।

‘बुद्धकाे जन्म सिद्धार्थ गौतमको रुपमा कुनै बेला दक्षिणी भारतको एक स्थान, जुन अहिले नेपालमा पर्छ’  भन्ने नै हो उक्त सूचनाको शाब्दिक अर्थ । बुद्ध जन्मेको स्थान कुनै बेला भारत रहेको तर हाल नेपालमा पर्ने भन्ने जनाकारी दिएको छ यो सूचनाले । यसको अर्को अर्थ त लाग्दैन । अब यसलाई कसरी बुझ्ने ?

बुद्ध जन्मदाताकाको उक्त स्थान कहाँ पथ्र्यो होला ? यो मलाई थाह छैन । तर के यसले बुद्ध जन्मेको तथ्यलाई बँग्याउन सहयोग गर्ला ? यसलाई कसरी व्याख्या गर्ने ? यस्तो द्वविधाको अन्य गर्नका लागि कुनै पनि कानुनी वा अन्य कुनै सर्वमन्य सिदान्त  होला ?

Gloomy Central Station, Sydney

Even everyday sights can be mesmerizing in Sydney. Many time they are left unnoticed or it was not the right time for you being there. This time I was lucky to get one shot but not lucky enough to get it captured by my NIKON D810. But my Note 4 too is a strong contender to many DSLRS whhile it comes to taking great Shots.

Why Sydney will no longer remain a livable city by 2035



By Leela Ghimire

As mentioned, this is hasty generalization on why Sydney will no longer remain a Livable City by 2035 i.e in next 20 years, these are some assumptions made on a day to day experiences of one individual living in this city for just about two and half years. These assumptions are not fact driven and in social science though assumptions are also derived from different numerical facts collected, what one should not forget is these are again mere assumptions which may change in due course of time because of different unexpected factors coming and going on the way.

This generalization will not try to deal minutely or will not classify the different reasons on the basis of their nature, like whether they are economical or social or technological. Instead these are some random points of reasons observed from a single men's perceptions and how these perceptions about Sydney are gradually changing towards bad.



Again while these assumptions will definitely not help government planners and policy makers to to some major changes reading this, some people might try and change their own behavior on certain things which they feel they were doing not-right. This will surely help to strengthen the base of Sydney to remain a Livable City even after 2035. And this is not an assumption. Its a fact.


NSW government's planning division has projected that this State's population will rise by 2 million by 2031. While moderate population is a major factor for a place to be livable, more population will lead to a disastrous living.

Nepalis in Sydney, Australia protesting against the indian government's 'Nepal Blockade'.



Though india is giving this blockade an unofficial status, many evidences prove that this is a real blockade india is imposing to Nepal.



India being a Culturally and Geographically nearest neighbor to Nepal is imposing blocked to Nepal, citing issues of violence and unrest at its Boarders due to the continuous protest of a faction of Nepalese populations demanding the promulgation of Newly drafted constitution that came into effect on 20th of September 2015.

रामवरण यादवले िवर्सन नसक्नेमध्येकाे एक समय । (That one moment Outgoing Prez of Nepal MR Rambaran Yadab can not forget)





When Rambaran Yadav stopped the then PM Prachanda's decison to sack the then COAS Rugmangad Katawal, YCL a young cadre now dissolved wing of Maoist make them into the streets of Kathmandu declaring Mr. Yadaab a New King like Gyanendra Shah.



But this YCL and the whole of the Maoists Party's supporters agitating force was not sufficient to scare the of Pez's for his resignation. Instead PM Prachhanda Resigned on the moral ground that the COAS didnot obeyed his decision. This event is now remembered as 'Katuwal Kanda' in the political history of Nepal.




Even the Burning tyres and its smoke did not reach 'Sital Niwas' to suffocate Prez. Yadav



So big a Party Flag, so small a National Flag.
