Bhante Anandajoti: 1. The Early Life of the Buddha

Part of the Geography of Buddhism Series
This is a talk given in the Vivekavana Buddhist Society on the period from the Bodhisatta's renunciation, up to the Awakening, and the first year thereafter.
The talk is illustrated with a map of the area where the events took place, together with some extra information missing in the talk itself.
For more maps see: www.ancient-buddhist-texts.net...
For the source of most of the information see this early Vinaya text: www.ancient-buddhist-texts.net...
and for later information this one: www.ancient-buddhist-texts.net...
For the Buddha's first four discourses see: www.ancient-buddhist-texts.net...
This is a remake of an earlier version of the same talk, with higher definition and more photographs.

Not only this side of maps Buddha visit so many far different parts of the world.it is impossible to say Buddha sit only this side

Evolution and devolution also seem to be going on an individual level as well as collective and universal level. Dukkha samudaya and dukkha nirodha have to be understood by conquering defilements of mara/mind
