On March 14, 2006,
the
Sanghata was recited on the very spot where in India where it was
first uttered by the Buddha: at Vulture's Peak itself, in
Raja-griha. A group of pilgrims and the
translator of the Sanghata brought the words of the Buddha
back to the very place from which they were first released on this
earth on the Day of Miracles, which was also a
full moon day on which a lunar eclipse will take place, making
this event particularly potent. For more information on this and other

In the Words of the Sanghata:
“Bhaishajya-séna, some
young sentient beings here do not understand birth, although they have
seen it. Cessation, aging, sickness, sorrow, weeping, separation from
loved ones, coming into contact with what is unpleasant, parting with
friends, dying, untimely death — they do not understand any
of these unbearable sufferings. Even though they have seen them, they
are not moved and revolted by them, so how could they possibly
understand them? Bhaishajya-séna, they must be taught again
and again.”
