Walking in the footsteps of the Buddha
Gautama, whom people affectionately called the Buddha, lived in the monastery with nearly 400 disciples.
40 acres surrounded the monastery. 30 min walk north of the capital city of Rajagaha, the Bamboo Forest Monastery had been given to Buddha and his community by King Bimbisara.
Many bhikkhus of noble birth such as Nanda, the Buddha's brother, and Devadatta, Anurudha, Ananda, were part of Buddha's community. Rahula, the Buddha's son had been a novice in the community since the age of ten.
