Pilgrimage 2027

Walk with HEZR along the “Footsteps of the Buddha & Kathmandu,” a 21-day path of mindful devotion where each step becomes practice and each dawn invites awakening. In Bodhgaya, let the mind rest in the holy silence of the Bodhi spirit; in Vaishali, breathe with the compassion of the Buddha’s teachings and the radiance of those who vowed to walk the way. In Kushinagar, visit the reclining stillness that reminds us that life is impermanent—yet the Dharma endures. In Varanasi and Sarnath, feel the Wheel of Dharma turn within, as recitation, boat-ride quiet, and temple lights guide the heart toward right understanding. In Shravasti, gather inspiration from the many discourses and monastic gardens; in Lumbini, bow at the birthplace of Siddhartha and return again to your own sincere intention to awaken for the benefit of all beings. Then let Kathmandu complete the journey—circumambulating great stupas, chanting in sacred spaces, and carrying this inner pilgrimage back into everyday life.

This Pilgrimage is for 21 days, commencing on 2 January in Bodghaya (flying out from Melbourne on 1 January) and concluding on 22 January 2027 in Kathmandu.
