Sarnath

Sarnath is where the Buddha gave the first teaching of Dharma. It is only 8 kilometers outside of the busy/hectic/headache causing Varanasi, and it was truly peaceful and serene. I visited Deer Park, the actual sight of Buddha's first teaching after becoming enlightened. It is said that all 5 monks, who heard his first lecture on the dharma, became enlightened upon hearing the final words of the talk.

I also visited the Tibetan Temple in Sarnath, which was filled with beautiful colors, as well as, beautiful souls.
