Where was Buddha born?

Buddha Meditation – Vipassana Meditation Benefits
Buddha shared and taught his experience of meditation as a universal remedy for universal ills named Vipassana also known as Art of Life. Vipassana in a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between the mind and body that dissolves mental impurity resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.
In Vipassana meditation, the meditator uses his concentration as a tool by which his awareness can weaken at the wall of illusion that cuts him off from the living light of reality. It is a gradual process of ever-increasing awareness into the inner workings of reality itself. It takes years, but one day the meditator chisels through that wall and tumbles into the presence of light. The transformation is complete.
