The volume describes in a multidimensional approach the sacred grove at Lumbini where the Buddha was born. It discusses how the forest became a place of universal value which men and women have visited out of devotion and curiosity. It covers the theme from many perspectives: Lumbini in early Buddhist literature, Lumbini as dealt with in historical texts of Buddhist association, archaeology and the site details, the UN Lumbini development Project, Lumbini as a world heritage property, the natural environment at Lumbini and tourism at the site. It goes in detail into the Kenzo Tange Master Plan for the development of the sacred garden. It presents the expectations of visitors to the place and has numerous photographs of the site as well.
