Four Sacred Sites of the Buddha's Life

“Ananda, there are four places the sight of which will arouse strong emotion in those with faith. Which four? Here the Tathagata (The Buddha or enlightened one) was born, this is the first place. Here the Tathagata attained Enlightenment, this is the second place. Here the Tathagata set in motion the Wheel of the Dhamma, this is the third place. Here the Tathagata attained final Nibbana (Nirvana) without remainder, this is the fourth place. The monk or nun, layman or laywoman, who has faith should visit these places. And anyone who dies while making a pilgrimage to these places with a devout heart will, at the breaking up of the body, be reborn in heaven.”

(Mahaparinirvana Sutta (DN 16, PTS: D ii 137)
