Description

Le Bouddha d'or du temple Mulagandhakuti Vihāra de Sârnâth (Mulgand Kuti Vihar) C'est un temple construit au début du XXème siècle près de l'endroit où la Bouddha passa sa première mousson.

_______________

Sârnâth est à 10 km de Varanasi, l'ancienne Bénarès.

C'est un site majeur du Bouddhisme car, après avoir atteint l'Eveil, le Bouddha a prononcé, sous l'arbre de la Bhodi (Eveil), dans le parc des gazelles de Sârnâth, son premier sermon devant ses cinq premiers disciples.

Cet évènement majeur est appelé la Mise en Mouvement de la Roue du Dharma (ou de la Loi) car il marque le début de l'enseignement et de la diffusion de la doctrine à travers le monde.

Au-dessus des temples bouddhistes de la tradition tibétaine, on peut voir une roue à rayons, qui représente la Roue du Dharma, et qui est regardée par deux gazelles en référence au premier sermon.

L'Empereur bouddhiste Ashoka fit ériger, au IIIème siècle avant J.-C., à l'endroit du premier sermon un stûpa et une colonne gravée, dite Édit du Schisme. Par la suite, plusieurs grands monastères se sont développés à Sârnâth jusqu'à leur destruction par les envahisseurs musulmans à l'époque médiévale.

Le site de Sârnâth est devenu un lieu de pèlerinage. Plusieurs temples et monuments commémoratifs y ont été construits, des fouilles archéologiques ont permis de mettre en valeur le site et un musée a été créé.
