Sankassa (also Sankasia, Sankissa and Sankasya) was an ancient city in India.
The city came into prominence at the time of Gautama Buddha.
According to a Buddhist source,
it was thirty leagues from Savatthi.[1]
After the Gautama Buddha's Mahaparinirvana (passing away)
king Ashoka developed this place
and installed one of his famous Pillars of Ashoka in the city,
from which the elephant capital survives.
He also built a stupa and a temple commemorating the visit of the Buddha.
This temple exists even today
and the ruins of the stupa are also present as a temple of Vishari Devi.
It is said that the name Visahari Devi is given to the mother of the Buddha.
Descent of the Buddha from the Trayastrimsa Heaven at Sankissa.[2]
Currently it has ruins of old monasteries and Buddhist monuments.
It is rarely visited by pilgrims since it is difficult to go to,
and there are not many facilities.
After a long time
Alexander Cunningham (British) discovered the place in 1842.
Eighty-seven years later
Sir Anagarika Dharmapala (Sri Lanka) came here on spiritual quest.
In 1957 Panditha Madabawita Wijesoma Thero (Sri Lanka)
came to 'Sankissa' for few years
and started a Buddhist school (Wijesoma Widyalaya) for poor people.
Sankissa is now identified with Sankisa Basantapura on the north bank of the Ikkhumati river (Kalinadi),
between Kampil and Kannauj,
Sankissa received its fame
from statements and claims recorded in the ancient commentaries
to the Tipitaka.
However, in the Tipitaka itself
the events that are supposed to have occurred at Sankissa
are not mentioned at all.
It was at Sankissa
that (according to the commentaries) the Buddha returned to earth,
after preaching the Abhidhamma Pitaka in Tavatimsa,
following the performance of the Twin Miracle under the Gandamba tree.
As the time approached for the Buddha to leave Távatimsa, Moggallana (Anuruddha, according to Sutta Nipāta Commentary ii 570[3]) announced his coming return
to the multitude,
who had been waiting at Savatthi,
fed by Culla Anathapindika,
while Moggallana expounded the Dhamma.
They then made their way to Sankissa.
The descent of the Buddha took place on the day of the Mahapavarana festival. Sakka provides three ladders for the Buddha's descent from Sineru to the earth:
on the right was a ladder of gold for the gods;
on the left a silver ladder for Maha Brahma and his retinue;
and in the middle a ladder of jewels for the Buddha.
The assembled people covered the earth for thirty leagues round.
There was a clear view of the nine Brahma worlds above and of Avici (a hell) below.
The Buddha was accompanied by Pañcasikha, Mátali, Mahá Brahmá and Suyáma.
Sariputta was the first to welcome him (followed by Uppalavanna,[4]
and the Buddha preached the Law,
starting with what was within the comprehension even of a puthujjana,
and ending with what only a Buddha could understand.
On this occasion
was preached the Parosahassa Játaka
to proclaim to the multitude the unparalleled wisdom of Sáriputta.[1][4]
It is said that the Buddha's descent to Sankissa had provided opportunity for Moggallána
to show his eminence in iddhi,
He therefore asked of Sáriputta questions which no one else could answer.
The opening words of the Sáriputta Sutta are supposed to refer to this descent from Tusita.
The site of the city gate of Sankissa is one of the "unchangeable" spots of the world (avijahitatthanam).
All Buddhas descend at that spot to the world of men after preaching the Abhidhamma.[7][8]
A shrine was erected on the spot where the Buddha's right foot first touched the ground at Sankissa.[10]
When the Chinese pilgrims, Xuanzang and Faxian, visited the place,
they found three ladders,
which had been built of brick
and stone by the ancients,
to commemorate the Buddha's descent,
but the ladders were nearly sunk in the earth.[11][12]
There was, in the Buddha's time,
a deer park at Sankissa where Suhemanta Thera heard the Buddha preach.[13]
The road he took passed through Sankissa, Kannakujja, Udumbara and Aggalapura.[14]
The excavations carried out in the place did not reveal any artifacts of importance.
An elephant capital from the period of the Mauryas was found at the site.[15]

四種涅槃 'Four kinds of Nirva^na.' In the teachings of the Yoga^ca^ra school, nirva^na is divided into four types. The first is the nirva^na of the originally pure self-nature, the original thusness of all existence. The second refers to the thusness expressed in the extinction of the hindrances due to defilement, and is called "nirva^na with remainder." The third is "nirva^na without remainder"; in this nirva^na the hindrances due to defilement in the mind are cut off, and the body in which the five skandhas was united is extinguished. In the fourth, both the hindrances due to defilement and the hindrances of knowing are cut off, and a deep wisdom is attained wherein sam!sa^ra and nirva^na are not distinguished. Not abiding in nirva^na nor disliking sam!sa^ra, one teaches sentient beings yet does not become attached to the world. This condition of complete separation from delusion is called "nirva^na with no abode." [Muller-jpn-Eng]
