Discovering Peace at Khoja Zayniddin Complex

Today, during our practicum journey, we visited the Khoja Zayniddin Complex in Bukhara – a place that left a deep impression on me. This complex is not only a historical and architectural site but also a spiritual corner of the city that carries centuries of meaning and silence.

As soon as we entered the complex, I felt a special kind of calm. The atmosphere was quiet and respectful. The trees, the simple but beautiful building, and the soft light made the whole area feel like a place for reflection. I didn’t expect to feel so peaceful, but somehow, this place gave me a moment to slow down and think.

We shared information about Khoja Zayniddin, a respected figure known for his knowledge and piety. Listening to the stories of his life and his contribution to the spiritual life of Bukhara made me think about how education and spirituality were deeply connected in our past.

It made me feel proud of our cultural roots and of how much importance was given to knowledge and values.

It’s also about understanding where we come from, respecting those who came before us, and learning how to be thoughtful and kind people. I hope I can share these feelings and thoughts with my future students one day.

Personally, I enjoyed this visit more than I expected. It wasn’t about grand architecture— it was about feeling the history through the quietness. I stood for a few minutes near the old trees and thought about how many people had walked the same path before me, searching for peace or wisdom. That feeling will stay with me☺️

  Chor-Bakr: A Journey into History  As part of our practicum, we had a special chance to visit the Chor-Bakr complex in Bukhara. It was an unforgettable experience that helped us connect with the history, culture, and spiritual side of our country. Chor-Bakr is also called the “City of the Dead” because many respected religious leaders, especially from the Juybari family, are buried there. The complex was built in the 16th century and is known for its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful domes, and ancient architecture. When we entered the complex, I immediately felt calm and curious. The area was very quiet, and it felt like a place full of meaning. We walked around the courtyards, looked at the old gravestones, and listened to a guide who told us interesting facts about the place. . One thing that really impressed me was how everything was built to bring peace and reflection. I enjoyed taking photos and imagining what life might have been like during those times This visit was no...

 A Visit to Chor-Minor Today, during our practicum, we had the chance to visit Chor-Minor, one of the most interesting historical sites in Bukhara. Although it is not as large as other monuments, it immediately caught my attention with its unique design.  The name "Chor-Minor" means "Four Minarets," and true to its name, the building has four small towers, each with a slightly different look. I found it fascinating that each tower is said to represent a different culture, showing how diverse and rich our history is. When I first saw the building, I felt both curious and surprised. It looked very different from what I expected. The bright blue domes on top of each tower gave it a cheerful and peaceful feeling. Even though it was small, the building seemed full of stories and secrets from the past.  Our teacher, Mohichehra Temurova asked information about Chor Minar. We shared what we gathered from online websites.As we walked around, I felt proud to be part of a cult...

  Visiting Said Abdulhasan Poband – Discovering Spiritual Heritage Today, as part of our practicum, we had the chance to visit the resting place of Said Abdulhasan Poband, a respected religious figure in Bukhara’s rich spiritual history. Although the site is not very large or well-known to tourists, it holds deep meaning for the local community.  Visiting places like this helps us see a different side of Bukhara – not just its famous monuments, but also the hidden spiritual landmarks that are full of respect and tradition. When we arrived, the peacefulness of the place immediately caught my attention. The surroundings were quiet, and the atmosphere felt sacred. As I walked closer to the shrine, I noticed how people were offering prayers and paying their respects. It made me think about the strong connection between faith, history, and daily life in our culture. I didn’t know much about Said Abdulhasan Poband before the visit, but being there made me want to learn more. Our gui...
