The Assam Buddha Vihar – Guwahati, India

The Parinirvana Stupa

C.S. Lama who hailed from Bhutan, received her education at Darjeeling. She
and her husband, who was a Buddhist fellow moved into Assam to run their
business. Their main businesses were Lama Automobiles and Lama Transport.
But after the sudden demise of her husband, the only aim she had was to help
people. C.S. Lama was also known as ‘Guru mai’ by the local Assamese people.
She had found the place with the sole intention of providing free education
to the under privileged children who belong to different religious beliefs
and caste. She also provided teachings on music and art.

A place with such high values for humanity should be well protected and
preserved. But it was really painful to witness signs of vandalism by the
people on the infrastructure especially the scribbling on the walls. I would
like to request everyone not to vandalize any monument or any other
infrastructure. These places are meant to be preserved not only because of
their beauty but also because of the irreplaceable history associated with
them.
