About BUDDHA Path
The Sanskrit word Path means foot or footstep. According to Buddhist legend, after the Buddha attained enlightenment, his feet made an imprint in the stone where he stepped. Buddha Path, therefore stands for the grounding of the transcendent. It symbolizes the Buddha’s presence; they are believed to be the imprints where the Buddha actually touched the ground; and his absence upon having entered nirvana.
Buddha path is a representation of the Buddhist ideal of nonattachment, even as it reminds all that Buddha was present on earth and left a spiritual ‘path’ to be followed.
Our Vision
India remains a source of the world’s most profound wisdom, light and illumination. Indeed, just what we today call West Bengal has alone produced some of the greatest Buddhist masters ever to walk this earth. We in the 21st century cannot afford to lose our connection to this extraordinary tradition and spirit of past times.
THE AIM
Buddha Path is a group for the study and practice of Buddha Teachings in all its traditions, along with Indian philosophical systems and the contemplative cultural traditions of the country. The group seeks to support initiatives for the preservation and dissemination of ancient Buddhist wisdom, such as the historical knowledge program.
