강의 개요:

​The story of the excavation of the Piprahwa relics in January, 1898 - the most important Buddhist relic deposit ever recovered in India -  immediately sparked enormous interest across the Buddhist world. Piprahwa stupa is located in northern India close to Lumbini, the site of the historical Buddha's birthplace in western Nepal.  This lecture presents the controversial discovery of the Piprahwa relics, which included the first reliquary inscription to credibly claim that it contained the remains of Sakyamuni Buddha, and examines their remarkable fate due to the interventions of a learned Thai monk. ​
