It seems that many disciples who join the pilgrimage have started to have expectations. Some have tried to overcome the obstacles of leave applications as well as other obstacles. It is indeed not easy leading a life of a layperson.

From now on, pilgrims should always guard their pure minds, follow the footsteps of the Buddha with boundless compassion, and learn from the Buddha’s compassion to embrace all living beings.

When one’s mindset is in place and one practices wise attention, the experience of pilgrimage will enhance many of our beautiful states of mind, cultivations and feelings.

Dedication and humility will enrich this journey more than the intention to gain.

Are you ready to take on this noble wholesome kamma?
