Pilgrimage

On pilgrimage we open heartedly visit holy sites where great masters have meditated. As we do this we leave behind our usual comforts and luxuries and joyfully surrender to the journey so that we can allow ourselves to feel the ever-present blessings that awaken deep spiritual insight.

In Tibet, people went on pilgrimage by foot and often prostrated all the way. They knew that the more obstacles they faced the better it was for purification. Purification means that more spacious attitudes are created in everyday life rather than automatically following narrow negative habits. In purifying one can then lead life in fearless dignity, with respect to oneself and others. It is therefore very important to see obstacles as an opportunity to deepen the practice of the pilgrimage.

Since childhood, Khandro-la's family vacations were pilgrimages to holy sites. Together they would make puja offerings, hoist prayer flags, offer butter lamps and meditate deeply at these sites, sending powerful energies to all beings. So she has enjoyed the wisdom and adventure of this spiritual practice for many years. Khandro-la has many stories and experiences with her masters and parents on these journeys of fun and devotion.

Khandro-la is now focussing on leading pilgrimages as a spiritual practice. She enjoys sharing her expertise of the Himalayan regions, her family connections to the great places and practitioners of this area, and acting as a cultural bridge between east and west.

It is a very special experience to go on pilgrimage with Khandro-la. Lives have been transformed and deep spiritual insights awakened. At the very least it is a fun and adventurous journey.
