Temples and Monasteries of Lumbini - Theraveda School

Being such an important site, Buddhists from around the world have built temples in Lumbini. The temples and monuments are funded by foreign entities; sometimes governments fund them, sometimes Buddhist organizations supply the cash, and sometimes a wealthy individual supports the project. This creates a kind of Buddhist embassy zone, which is a fascinating showcase of the religion’s role in cultures around the world, and the ways in which those cultures have influenced Buddhism.
