Developing Nalanda

While surfing the net today, I came across this piece of news which I am sure must have delighted a lot many people. The news says that Nalanda still attracts attention of the Chinese and the hence it is showing great interest in the development of the site. It is great to see that authorities from two great countries are coming together to restore the heritage of Buddhist past. And Nalanda by no means occupies a small place in the past of Indian history. It has a significance which is unparalled. I think, once it is developed properly, it will attract numerous tourists form both India and abroad and this will really help spread awareness about the past of Buddhism.

The article also has another interesting piece of information. In China, there is a place named Rajgir in the Lingsa province. In India, Rajgir is a small town in the state of Bihar. Historically, it is the place where lord Buddha spent around 12 years and delivered many of his sermons. If you wish to know more about about Rajgir, you can visit Buddhist Tourism. The site also has information on number of other Buddhist places of interest in India.
