As we have both Brother Phap Huu and Jo Confino on our pilgrimage, we shall take the opportunity to record some episodes for ‘The Way Out Is In’ podcast that they co-host.
Shakyamuni Buddha discovered the path to overcoming suffering and bringing happiness to individuals, families, and societies. Before his passing, he suggested that it would greatly benefit those interested in his teachings to make a pilgrimage to the places associated with his life.
This 14-day journey begins in the vibrant capital of India, Delhi, where ancient history meets modern charm and sacred sites offer a meaningful gateway to our spiritual journey.
