King Bimbisaras stupa: Okay folks, this is for Buddhists across the world. This is a youtube video of the oldest Buddhist stupa in the world built by King Bimbisara in the Buddhas time. After the Buddha gained enlightenment King Bimbisara wanted to meet him so set off from Rajgir to where the Buddha was camped. The Buddha heard that the King wanted to meet him so he set off to meet the king. The Buddha came with a few hundred disciples. King Bimbisara came with one hundred thousand soldiers, courtiers, and subjects. They met in a place called Hathiyama. To commemorate the event the the king built a stupa. According to Huen Tsang the stupa is the one in the video. One of its walls are still standing. The ancient stupa can be repaired and saved. This is a priority. Here is the report I gave to the Archaeological survey of India pertaining to this stupa:

(41) Hathiyama/Bimbisara’s stupa- (Si-Yu-Ki page176 and 177) From Khushiyalpur village Huen tsang goes four or five Li’s or 4700 ft to the east to the village of Hathiyama where King Bimbisara of Magadh met the Buddha after he gained enlightenment. I will quote the second paragraph of page 176 of Huen Tsangs journal Si-Yu-Ki. He says, “East of the old village of Mudgaliputra, going three or four Li, we come to a stupa. This is the place where Bimbisara Raja went to have an interview with the Buddha when Tathagat first obtained the fruit of the Buddha.” We can see that to commemorate the event and mark the spot the king constructed a stupa. I visited the village and found the stupa which the villagers call a Garh.  I realized three walls of the stupa was missing. Mud had been sold or pilfered. But the stupa was there with one ancient wall. I personally think this is the most ancient standing wall in India as it was constructed in the Buddhas lifetime. There was enough mud left for the stupa to be repaired. The stupa can be viewed in my youtube channel “Buddha Exhumed: Bimbisaras stupa.”
