Celebrate the Heart of Perfect Wisdom with a Pilgrimage to India

January 8, 2011 - January 23,2011

We invite you to make the ultimate Buddhist pilgrimage of your life. Several governmental and non-governmental organizations have come together to make this pilgrimage possible.

The central theme of this pilgrimage is a celebration of the Heart Sutra. We will be chanting the Heart Sutra at Vultures Peak, where this precious text was delivered.

Starting at Sarnath, the place where Lord Buddha gave to his close friends his very first teaching, we will have the wonderful opportunity of studying with His Holiness the Dalai Lama.  The pilgrimage will then follow in the footsteps of the Buddha from Sarnath to Kashingar, Rajgir, Nalanda, and Bodhgaya.

Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh, India from January 12 to 16: His Holiness will give a five-day teaching on Shantideva’s A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life (chodjug) & Kamalashila’s The Middling States of Meditation (gomrim barpa). The teachings will be held near the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, in Sarnath. 

We request that you reserve your place early, as the number of seats is very limited. Please click here to reserve your place.
