About Buddhism in Nepal

Image by Cool Text: Free Graphics Generator - Edit Image

Buddhist influences are evident in the culture of Nepal because Buddha was born in what is now southern Nepal. Nepal has a strong Buddhist background and has played a role in the spread of Buddhism to Tibet. Nepalese princess Bhrikuti played a significant role in the development of Buddhism in Tibet and the Far East. Tibetan Buddhist architecture has long been influenced by Nepalese artists and sculptors like Araniko. The sacred Buddhist texts in Mahayana Buddhism are mainly written in Ranjana script (the script of Newars) or scripts like Lantsa which are derived from Ranjana.
