    蓝毗尼花园现在还有遗址留存下来吗?

    During the 7th century AD, Tipiṭakācariya Xuan Zang (Hsuan Tsang) of China visited Lumbinī Grove. According to his account, he saw the stone pillar erected there by King Aśoka about 800 years before, marking the birthplace of the Buddha. The site at that time, however, was in a state of desolation, the pillar having been struck by lightning and the top having fallen down onto the ground. Subsequently, the birthplace of the Buddha sank into oblivion because nobody could read the letters on the pillar. It was not until 1897 when the Aśoka pillar was re-discovered, archeologists deciphered the inscriptions and the ravaged ruins of Lumbinī Grove were excavated. Some ancient settlements were also excavated in the vicinity of that site, part of which may have belonged to the old city of Kapilavatthu. Today, the government of Nepal has proclaimed it as Holy Land and undertaken necessary reconstruction and protection.
    公元七世纪时,我国玄奘法师曾到过蓝毗尼。根据他的记载,他曾经看到在他之前八百多年阿育王(Aśoka)在那里建立的石柱,标志着佛陀诞生之处,但当时石柱已被雷击破,柱头倒在地下,已经是衰落的情景了。后来由于没有人能够识得柱上的文字,因此佛陀诞生的地址久已湮没无闻。直到1897年才被人发现了阿育王的石柱,考古家认识出上面的文字,这才发掘出蓝毗尼园的遗址,在附近并且发掘出古代的市镇,其中有些可以相信是属于当时的迦毗罗城的。今天尼泊尔政府已经把这个地方作为圣地加以建设和保护。
