The study relates to the Khasa people, who have lived in Nepal since ancient times and are considered indigenous due to their history of settling and cultivating land in western Nepal. The Khasa people have a rich history dating back to the nomadic period when they migrated from the Caucasus region of Babylonia in West Asia to the Himavatkhaṇḍa and Karnali regions of Western Nepal. However, Hinduization in the Middle Ages and Westernization in modern times has threatened their traditional customs and nature-worshiping religious culture. The purpose of the study is to highlight the identity, tribalism, and current crisis faced by the Khasa people and to advocate for their recognition as indigenous inhabitants of Nepal. Based on secondary sources, this research can guide the state to recognize the Khasa people as indigenous.

Nepal-China relationship is the oldest in the diplomatic history of Nepal. It is hard to find the beginning point. However, the evidence proves that Manjushree arrived from China to Kathmandu, then cut open a rocky hill called Chobhar to let the water from the enormous lake out whose mud when caked offered itself a fit place to live and cultivate. It is also important to note that the Tea and Horse Road back to the period of the Tang dynasty 618-907 and the Tibetan (Tubo) regime is the next evidence of Sino-Nepal relations, the oldest one. The Lichchhavi period, the Malla period, and the Gorkha Shah King dynasty are full of Sino-Nepal histories. The pilgrim trips from China and Tibet to Nepal and Nepalese trade with Tibet are the major sources of bilateral histories. The Military relationship is also very old, and it starts formally from the time of Kaji Bhim Malla’s military expedition in Tibet. Also, many wars took place between the two countries. However, we have got the best relation up to today and the military relation has been strengthening according to our diplomatic relations. I also would like to mention that the Sino-Nepal relationship has been running more formal rather than people-to-people communication due to our language and geographical barrier in comparison to our southern neighbor. There are many rooms to be researched from Ancient Tea and Horse Road onward present Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

An earthen mound, Bhiṣvā located on Birgunj, where Buddhist pilgrims stayed during the night between their journey from Lumbini and Bodhgaya. During the Rana period, Ranas assumed a trove of treasure and jewellery inside the earthen mound in the Terai region, excavated it, found ancient bricks and coals, and then left the digging of the hill. A sculptor expert from the Archaeology Department of Nepal declared the earthen mound Bhiṣvā stupa in 1977 without any scientific investigation. Later, Two Buddhist priests worshipped jivanyāsapūjā on the stūpa in 1978. After that, Hindu and Buddhist followers installed different Hindu and Buddhist images on the stupa at various times. The Department of Archeology has not done any research on it and has not declared it as a Stupa. It cannot be called a stupa without the declaration of an official institution, without mention in any Buddhist scriptures, and without any authentic document based on the words of people. But it can be called a stupa based on its shape and name.

The Poṣadha, or observing of eight Buddhist precepts by lay and monastic people in Buddhism starts inthe lifetime of Buddha. With the growth of time, many Buddhist sects developed and they developed their Poṣadha methods (I.-Tsing, 1896). Among them is the tradition of the Sanskrit Mahayana monks. This article is about a palm-leaf manuscript [RAS Hudgson MS 70] from the Hudgson collection which is now in the South Asian society collection. This Poṣadha manual written by a novice has great significance as it takes us back to the time when the monks following Sanskrit tradition were still functioning. Interestingly this Poṣadha text is based largely on the Mahayana context and has very little Sravakayana influence. Directions for forming puṣpamaṇḍala has significant difference which hasn't been revealed before. This Vrata manual can be looked at as the initial ritualistic development of a now surviving Sanskrit Buddhism, this is Newar Buddhism.
Poṣadha,即佛教中居士和出家人对佛教八戒的遵守,始于佛陀的一生。随着时间的推移,许多佛教教派发展起来,他们发展了自己的Poṣadha方法(i - qing, 1896)。其中有传统的梵语大乘僧侣。这篇文章是关于一个棕榈叶手稿[RAS Hudgson MS 70]从哈德逊收藏,现在在南亚社会收藏。这个Poṣadha手册是由一个新手写的,它有重要的意义,因为它把我们带回了遵循梵文传统的僧侣仍然在运作的时代。有趣的是,这个Poṣadha文本很大程度上是基于大乘的背景,很少受到Sravakayana的影响。形成puṣpamaṇḍala的方向有显著的差异,这是以前没有发现的。这本《吠陀经》手册可以看作是现存梵语佛教的最初仪式发展,这就是尼瓦佛教。

This article is about a palm-leaf manuscript [RAS Hudgson MS 70] from the Hudgson collection which is now in the South Asian society collection. This Poṣadha manual written by a novice has great significance as it takes us back to the time when the monks following Sanskrit tradition were still functioning.
