Vaishali where Buddha gave his last sermon

Vaishali holds significant importance in Buddhism as it's where the Buddha visited multiple times, delivered his last sermon, and announced his Nirvana. It's also where the second Buddhist council was held after his death. Furthermore, Vaishali is where Buddha first allowed women into the monastic order. The Buddha visited Vaishali on several occasions, spending considerable time there. Vaishali is the site where Buddha delivered his final sermon before his passing away (parinirvana). Following the Buddha's death, Vaishali hosted the second Buddhist council, which was a significant event for the Buddhist community. Vaishali is where the Buddha first allowed women into the monastic order, initiating his maternal aunt Mahaprajapati Gautami. Buddha also conducted other activities in Vaishali, including using mantras to heal the city during an epidemic.

The place itself is a kind of ruin garden, you have to buy a ticket to enter. You can walk through the park in a few minutes, we spent about half an hour inside and walked around the stupa. Meanwhile, Thai and Taiwanese groups also came while we were there. In the small streets in front of the entrance to the ruin garden there are bazaars and a few small restaurants.
