アタマスターナ ෴ අටමස්ථාන

アタマスターナ(අටමස්ථාන) または 8 つの聖地は、釈迦が 3 回のスリランカ訪問中に訪れたスリランカの一連の場所です。神聖な場所は、ジャヤ スリ マハ菩提寺、ルワンウェリサヤ、トゥパラマヤ、ロヴァマハパヤ、アバヤギリ ダガバ、ジェータヴァナラマ、ミリサヴェティ ストゥーパ、ランカラマとして知られています。これらは古代アヌラーダプラ王国の首都アヌラーダプラにあります。

神聖な都市アヌラーダプラは、数世紀にわたってこの国の建築の発展に多大な影響を与えました。この都市は 1982 年にユネスコの世界遺産に登録されており、島の北中部州にある現在の首都コロンボから 205 km 北、歴史的なマルヴァトゥ オヤのほとりに位置しています。

マハヴァンサによれば、この神聖な都市は紀元前 350 年頃に、アヌラーダプラ王国の初代王であり、ヴィジャヤの到着以来 6 番目の王であるパー​​ンドゥカバヤによって発見されました。最終的には、ブッダガヤの神聖なイチジクの木である菩提樹の枝が植えられ、シッダールタがその下で精神的な啓発と最高の知恵を獲得したことを含め、仏教の主要な神社となりました。この神聖な木は、紀元前 3 世紀にアショーカ王の娘で尼僧のサンガミッタが率いた 2 回目の使節の際に持ち込まれました。さらに、仏陀の遺物はアヌラーダプラの宗教的な地形を形作ってきました。そこには、アショーカ王から贈られた重要な宗教的遺物である仏陀の鎖骨を安置するために、紀元前 3 世紀にデヴァナンピヤ ティッサによってトゥパラマヤが建てられました。

この都市はダッタガマニの治世下で頂点に達し、紀元前 161 年に南インドの侵略者エラランを破ってバラモン教に代わって仏教を再確立し、ミリサヴェティ仏塔、ルワンウェリサヤ、ブラゼン宮殿などの並外れた記念碑をこの地に与えました。この都市は 1,300 年間栄えましたが、993 年の侵略により放棄されました。その後、長年密林の中に隠されていましたが、宮殿、修道院、記念碑のあるこの素晴らしい場所は、現在再びアクセスできるようになりました。

これらのうち、アタマスターナ (8 つの聖地) は、仏教巡礼者がアヌラーダプラで訪問しなければならない最も重要な場所と考えられています。これらは、釈迦が 3 回のスリランカ訪問中に訪れたアヌラーダプラの主要な場所です。彼らです
