A little streetkid in the park in Sarnath, close to Varanasi - India. She had this inquisitve, alsmost angry look at first, but in the next shot I took her face lit up and showed a curious smile.
Sarnath is a city located 13 kilometres north-east of Varanasi near the confluence of the Ganges and the Gomati rivers in Uttar Pradesh, India. The deer park in Sarnath is where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment of Kondanna. Singhpur, a village approximately one km away from the site, was the birthplace of Shreyansanath, the eleventh Tirthankara of Jainism, and a temple dedicated to him, is an important pilgrimage site.
Sarnath has been developed as a place of pilgrimage, both for Buddhists from India and abroad. A number of countries in which Buddhism is a major (or the dominant) religion, among them Thailand, Japan, Tibet, Sri Lanka and Myanmar, have established temples and monasteries in Sarnath in the style that is typical for the respective country. Thus, pilgrims and visitors have the opportunity to experience an overview of Buddhist architecture from various cultures.

Sarnath
Sarnath (ISO 15919 Sārnāth, anticamente Isipathana o Isipatana) è una località dell'India posta nella parte orientale dello stato federato dell'Uttar Pradesh, a circa dieci chilometri a nord del centro cittadino di Varanasi, situata a 25° 22' 28 N e 83° 01' 20 E. Sarnath è nota per essere stata il luogo della prima predicazione del Buddha ed è formata da una serie di edifici di interesse storico-religioso.
Sarnath è l'abbreviazione di Saranganatha, "signore dei cervi", e fa riferimento ad una leggenda secondo la quale Buddha, in una vita precedente, era stato un cervo capobranco che si offrì al re di Kashi al posto di una cerva incinta che questi aveva catturato. In ricordo di questo evento, il re dette al luogo il nome di Mrigadava ("parco dei cervi").
Già luogo privilegiato di ascesi, nel 527 a.C. circa Sarnath fu scelta dal Buddha per iniziare la sua predicazione, tenendo due sermoni coi quali spiegò le quattro nobili verità, la dottrina della coproduzione condizionata e il concetto di non-sé ai cinque asceti.
Durante il regno di Ashoka a Sarnath fu costruita una serie di edifici religiosi (stupa, monasteri, templi, scuole) e anche una colonna che commemorava il sermone del Buddha, rappresentante quattro leoni che sorreggono la ruota del Dharma, attualmente utilizzato come stemma dell'India.
Il 3 luglio 1998 il governo dell'India ha proposto all'UNESCO l'inclusione di Sarnath nella lista dei patrimoni dell'umanità.
Reconstitution du premier sermon du Bouddha entouré de ses cinq disciples a Sarnath (Envoyé de mon iPhone)
Sarnath (Hindi: सारनाथ) or Sārnātha (also Mrigadava, Migadāya, Rishipattana, Isipatana) is the deer park where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment of Kondanna. Sarnath is located 13 kilometres north-east of Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh, India. Singhpur, a village one km away from the site, was the birth place of Shreyansanath, the eleventh Tirthankara of Jainism, and a temple dedicated to him, is an important pilgrimage site.
Isipatana is mentioned by the Buddha as one of the four places of pilgrimage which his devout followers should visit, if they wanted to visit a place for that reason.[1]
Gautama Buddha at IsipatanaThe Buddha went from Bodhgaya to Sarnath about 5 weeks after his enlightenment. Before Gautama (the Buddha-to-be) attained enlightenment, he gave up his austere penances and his friends, the Pañcavaggiya monks, left him and went to Isipatana.[4]
After attaining Enlightenment the Buddha, leaving Uruvela, travelled to the Isipatana to join and teach them. He went to them because, using his spiritual powers, he had seen that his five former companions would be able to understand Dharma quickly. While travelling to Sarnath, Gautama Buddha had to cross the Ganges. Having no money with which to pay the ferryman, he crossed the Ganges through the air. When King Bimbisāra heard of this, he abolished the toll for ascetics. When Gautama Buddha found his five former companions, he taught them, they understood and as a result they also became enlightened. At that time the Sangha, the community of the enlightened ones, was founded. The sermon Buddha gave to the five monks was his first sermon, called the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. It was given on the full-moon day of Asalha.[5] Buddha subsequently also spent his first rainy season at Sarnath[6] at the Mulagandhakuti. The Sangha had grown to 60 in number (after Yasa and his friends had become monks), and Buddha sent them out in all directions to travel alone and teach the Dharma. All 60 monks were Arahants.
Isipatana is identified with the modern Sarnath, six miles from Benares. Alexander Cunningham[16] found the Migadāya represented by a fine wood, covering an area of about half a mile, extending from the great tomb of Dhamekha on the north to the Chaukundi mound on the south.
[edit] Legendary characteristics of IsipatanaAccording to the Buddhist commentarial scriptures, all the Buddhas preach their first sermon at the Migadāya in Isipatana. It is one of the four avijahitatthānāni (unchanging spots), the others being the bodhi-pallanka, the spot at the gate of Sankassa, where the Buddha first touched the earth on his return from Tāvatimsa, and the site of the bed in the Gandhakuti in Jetavana[17]
In past ages Isipatana sometimes retained its own name, as it did in the time of Phussa Buddha (Bu.xix.18), Dhammadassī Buddha (BuA.182) and Kassapa Buddha (BuA.218). Kassapa was born there (ibid., 217). But more often Isipatana was known by different names (for these names see under those of the different Buddhas). Thus in the time of Vipassī Buddha, it was known as Khema-uyyāna. It is the custom for all Buddhas to go through the air to Isipatana to preach their first sermon. Gotama Buddha, however, walked all the way, eighteen leagues, because he knew that by so doing he would meet Upaka, the Ajivaka, to whom he could be of service.[18]
Sarnath - Also referred to as Isipatana, the city is mentioned by the Buddha as one the four places of pilgrimage to which his devout followers should visit.
