Short Notes on Namo-Buddha: One of the unsurpassable supreme sacred sites known as the Three Stupas in Nepal is Tagmo Lüjin ("The place where the future Buddha sacrificed his body to a tigress"). It is the very sacred place where the teachers, the perfect and supreme Buddha-at that time still on the path of learning-offered his own body without regret to a tigress suffering from great hunger. What follows is a history of this supreme and distinguished sacred site, whose location is unmistaken based on the clear identification given in the Sutra Requested by the Tigress and so forth.
