Pilgrimage

Sakyamuni:Heartland

25 Days 29^th October - 22^nd November 2005

The classic Buddhist pilgrimage. Centred on the Vajrasana, we circumambulate the ancient Buddhist heartland visiting beautiful and inspiring sites associated with Sakyamuni and the early Sangha. This is a leisurely yet true pilgrimage to places of real significance.

Pilgrimage Leader: Ratnaketu

I offer the pilgrimages as Dana, that is to say, each pilgrim sets his or her own contribution. I have led these pilgrimages several times and, with my team of friendly and competent of Indians, Tibetans and Nepalese, I’m confident of offering a valuable and inspiring service. All profit is given away.

Born in New Zealand in 1958, I joined the Western Buddhist Order in 1979, the year that saw my first visit to India. In 1999, after twenty years of team-based right-livelihood, I took up the wandering life.  At present I am at Madhyamaloka helping to care for Bhante.
