0.26 This is an excerpt from the Mahaparinibbana Sutta, part of Sutta Pitaka: As the Buddia lay dying, Ananda asked him :- What were we to do Lord, with the remains of the Tathagata (another name for the) Buddha?" The Buddha replied: " Hinder not yourselves Ananda by honouring the remains of the Tathagata. Be tealous, be intent on your own good." But when pressed further, the Buddha said: At the four crossroads they should erect a thupat Pali for Stupa) to tha Tathagata. And whosoever shall there place garlands or perfume......or make a salutation there, or become in its presence calm of heart, that shall long be to them for a profit and joy." (1) What are the stupas? Who advised Ananda to build the Stupa? (2) Who was Tathagata? What had he told about the importance of the Stupa? (3) Name any three places where the stupas have been built ?
