Visit to Ancient Taxila
I have a new topic of history to share with you a ll. On Sunday, 14th April 2019 my cousin Fatima Aapi from London took us all to Taxila. I saw ancient Stupa and Monastery . I have learned about Stupa from my social studies class. Stupa is a holy building for Buddhists. Their first leader was the Buddha. Stupa means 'heap'. The first stupas were heaps of clay after the Buddha died some of his ashes were buried in stupas. A monastery is a place where monks live and work. Monks are religious men who devote their lives to their faith. I along with my cousins loved exploring the historical places. Next time I will go to see the Taxila museum to see the statues of heads of Buddhas. I have added picture of the original Stupa from thousands of years old. It was in a cage. And my uncle Naveed knew the security people so they let us go inside. It was awesome to touch the original Stupa. I also took pictures with my family and cousins at Jain Stupa/ Jain Temple. My
