आज उत्तर प्रदेश के संकिसा बौद्ध स्तूप एवं मैनपुरी के यूथ बुद्धिस्ट सोसाइटी केंद्र में आयोजित अभिधम्म महोत्सव में सम्मिलित होने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ। इस अवसर पर बौद्ध स्तूप के दर्शन कर श्रद्धापूर्वक प्रार्थना की तथा भगवान बुद्ध के शांति, करुणा और मानव कल्याण के संदेश को आत्मसात किया। अभिधम्म स्थल के रूप में विख्यात संकिसा, बौद्ध धर्म के आठ महान पवित्र तीर्थस्थलों में से एक है। बौद्ध धर्मग्रंथों और पारंपरिक मान्यताओं के अनुसार, यह वही पावन स्थल है, जहाँ भगवान बुद्ध अपनी माता रानी महामाया को त्रायस्त्रिंश स्वर्गलोक में अभिधम्म की शिक्षा देने के पश्चात पृथ्वी पर अवतरित हुए थे। यह प्रसंग उनकी करुणा, प्रज्ञा और आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान के प्रसार के प्रति समर्पण का प्रतीक है।

कश्मीर यूनिवर्सिटी से जुड़े पुरातत्वविद बारामूला ज़िले के ज़ेहनपुरा गांव में खुदाई कर रहे हैं. इस जगह को कश्मीर में मिली बौद्ध धर्म से जुड़ी अब तक की सबसे बड़ी जगहों में से एक बताया जा रहा है. यहां अब तक एक स्तूप और मठ जैसी संरचनाओं के अवशेष मिले हैं, जो उस समय की ओर इशारा करते हैं, जब कश्मीर में बौद्ध धर्म फला-फूला था. रिपोर्ट: जहांगीर अली शूट और ए़डिट: शबीर भट
