Since Buddha Gotama showed the path to enlightenment, his beneficial teachings have been preserved, practiced, and propagated by both monastic and lay disciples over many generations. Throughout this journey, the construction and preservation of Buddhist historic sites have been essential and significant. Prominent examples of ancient and modern Buddhist landmarks include:

_The Stone Pillars erected by King Asoka in India and Nepal mark important milestones in the Buddha’s life and missionary activities, affirming the historical reality of his existence.

_The Bodhi Tree in Sri Lanka
_Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) in Thailand
_Pha That Luang Temple in Laos
_Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar
_Borobudur Temple in Indonesia
_Bamiyan Buddhas, Giant Buddha Statues in Afghanistan
_Angkor Wat in Cambodia had become a Buddhist temple at the end of the 12th century.
_Etc.

These historical landmarks mark the presence and development of Buddhism in these regions.

Today, the Ancient Sacred Buddhist Scripture Stupas Dhammacetiya in the United States will also contribute to maintaining the Dhamma’s flame and serve as a valuable legacy for future generations.
