I think I should go there...maybe something will soak in!
Literally, it probably is a good place to just be and soak in everything it has to offer.

          Founded in the 5th Century A.D., Nalanda is known as 
          the ancient seat of learning. 2,000 Teachers and 10,000 
          Students from all over the Buddhist world 
          lived and studied at Nalanda, the first Residential 
          International University of the World.</FONT> </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nalanda.nitc.ac.in/about/NalandaHeritage.html"><P align="justify"><FONT size="2" face="Verdana" color="#000033"> 
          A walk in the ruins of the university, takes you to 
          an era, that saw India leading in imparting knowledge, 
          to the world - the era when India was a 
          coveted place for studies.</FONT> <FONT size="2" face="Verdana" color="#000033">The 
          University flourished during the 5th and 12th century.</FONT>

          Although Nalanda is one of the places distinguished 
          as having been blessed by the presence of the Buddha, it 
          later became particularly renowned as the site of 
          the great monastic university of the same name , which was 
          to become the crown jewel of the 
          development of Buddhism in India. The name may derive from one 
          of Shakyamuni's former births , when hewas a king 
          whose capital was here.<B>Nalanda was one of his epithets meaning 
          "insatiable in giving."</B></FONT> </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9B902D7C-9B56-46C8-A726-F1BA5BB3CE78/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
