    释迦牟尼一生游行教化的区域,是哪些地方?

    According to historical records and excavations, the Buddha's own footprints mainly covered Central India. His disciples, dispersed in all quarters, might have gone further afield. There are also legends in Sri Lanka and Myanmar about the Buddha visiting and leaving his footprints there. During the Buddha's lifetime, he resided for the most part in Rājagaha, in the states of Magadha and Sāvatthī in the state of Kosala. Outside Rājagaha was a bamboo forest, donated to the Buddha and his disciples by King Bimbisāra, which later came to be known as Bamboo Grove Monastery (Veḷuvanārāmaya). In Sāvatthī, there was a garden given to the Buddha jointly by a rich merchant, Sudatta, and Prince Jeta of Kosala. This garden was known later as Jeta Grove Monastery (Jetavanārāmaya or Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍikassa-ārāma). Since the Buddha used to travel between the two places, both became important sites for the promotion of his doctrines. Gijjhakūṭa Hill, situated south of Rājagaha, was another place frequented by the Buddha and his disciples for preaching. Prior to his death, the Buddha went northward from Rājagaha to Vesālī (Bihar Pradesh in modern India). Then he turned northwest, and finally arrived at Kusināra (now Kasia in Uttar Pradesh, India) where he passed away (Parinibbāna). In modern times, excavations have uncovered the site of his cremation, and discovered a stone-carved image of his nibbāna as well as other relics. In commemoration of the 2,500th anniversary of the Buddha's Nibbāna (S. Nirvāna), the government of India has done some essential repair and construction in the holy place.
    根据记载和发掘的资料,佛自己足迹所到的地方,主要是中印度。他的弟子们分到四方游化,可能更远一些。但是斯里兰卡和缅甸都有佛曾经到过并留下足印的传说。佛居住的地方,以摩揭陀国的王舍城和拘萨罗国(Kosala)的舍卫城(Sāvatthī)的时间为最多。在王舍城外有一个竹林,是频毗娑罗王(Bimbisāra)献给佛和僧众居住的,后人称为竹林精舍。在舍卫城有一个林园是当地一个富商须达多(Sudatta)和拘萨罗国王子祇陀(Jeta)共同献给佛的,后人称为祇园精舍。佛常往来两处,所以竹林、祇园并为说法的重地。王舍城南面的灵鹫山(Gijjhakūṭa)也是佛常和弟子们说法的地方。佛逝世前由王舍城北行到毗舍离(Vesālī)城(今印度比哈尔省境内),又由毗舍离向西北行,最后到了拘尸那伽(今印度联合省伽夏城Kasia),佛是在拘尸那伽逝世的。现在佛逝世处,发掘出佛遗体火化的地方和石刻的佛涅槃像以及其他古迹。印度政府为了纪念佛涅槃二千五百年,曾对这个圣地予以必要的修复和建设。
