The Sanghāta
Returns to Vulture's Peak

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.
