PILGRIMAGE ~ an inner journey of transformation and vast blessings, we will not be sightseeing - we will be heart-seeing.
At a glance .....
We invite you to consider this rare opportunity in the care and expert guidance of renowned Tibetan Buddhist master GESHE TENZIN ZOPA as we travel amongst ancient blessed sites in India - in the footsteps of the great Mahasiddhas beginning at the most sacred and powerful of Buddhist pilgrimage sites, Bodhgaya.
We look forward to introducing you to the amazing sites of Sanchi Stupa, the ancient rock-cut caves Ajanta Ellora Kanheri, & more, supported by Tour Leader Annie Mcghee
Our days will be immersed within friendship, contemplations, prayers, and presence at these sites of great practice in the Buddhist tradition - we plan to join HIS HOLINESS DALAI LAMA for the annual December teachings [TBC] during our stay in Bodhgaya.
"Pilgrimage can be a beautiful opportunity to connect with Buddhist culture, faith, and history. Although you may walk in the footsteps of thousands of pilgrims who came before you, the journey and what you find within will be yours alone."
For further Pilgrimage details and Expression of Interest Registration ASAP please read on......REGISTRATION. IS CLOSED ~ Pilgrimage is Fully booked @1/11/2024
