On the footsteps of Siddhartha Gautama - a bedtime story

Bedtime Story to gently go to sleep.

This is the story about Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha and his teaching.

I set out on a journey, this time following the tracks of Siddhartha Gautama.

My journey begins at the Buddha's birthplace, today's Lumbini, in Nepal's lowland region of Terai.

The time and place into which Siddhartha was born, about 500 BC on the northern edge of the Gangetic plain was on the periphery of the developing north Indian civilisation.

This is where his story starts.
