   Nepalese Buddhism established the authenticity of the sacred places such as Bahals and Bahils, which became the places of pilgrims not only for themselves but also important for other pilgrims the scholars of the world.

   Bahals and Bahilas tradition of Nepalese Buddhism is the community (Sangha) based lineage system, where as Tibetan lineage system is differ from it. Though Nepalese Buddhism (Vajrayana), in Newar context, became a closed system, no longer accessible to anyone outside the Vihara community for higher practices. Because of that, Nepalese Buddhism had not been properly spreading in the today's world with comparision to Tibetan & Chinese Buddhism. It is also happened because Nepalese Buddhism have not been brought up with such awareness of their own "Identity" nor it has yet been revealed their identity to the outside world by Nepalese Buddhist. Coming at the end, Nepalese Buddhist must be encouraged to give liveliness of Nepalese Buddhism must aware of rich experiences and practices of our religion and cultures along with distinctive feature. Then the scholars and pilgrims of the world ran away to Kathmandu Valley in highly no boast up the motion for the flourishment of Nepalese Buddhism in the world.
