Pilgrimage is a powerful way to remember the Buddha's teachings and put them into practice. For Buddhists, four sacred places associated with the Buddha's life are considered the most important:
Where the Buddha was born like an ordinary human being
Lumbini,

Although the pilgrimage is sometimes chaotic, uncomfortable, and full of challenges, traveling to these places is deeply moving and transformative.
Over the next few months, we will meet on the last Sunday of each month to reflect together on the true meaning of a pilgrimage in the Buddhist context—and how this path can become more than just a journey, but a genuine process of inner transformation. Our meetings will be inspired by the book "Starting on the Right Foot," by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.
