In the Footsteps of the Buddha and my Teacher

In the Footsteps of the Buddha and my Teacher

Talk given by Simharava on 2026-03-14.

What does it really mean to be on a journey?

In this talk, Simharava reflects on a recent trip to India through the lens of three interwoven journeys. The first traces the life of the Buddha and the unfolding of the Dharma. The second follows Sangharakshita, whose own spiritual quest in India led to the eventual founding of the Triratna Buddhist Community. The third is Simharava’s personal pilgrimage, walking in the footsteps of both.

But this is not only a story about travel. It is an exploration of pilgrimage as a living practice. What does it mean to approach life itself as a journey of transformation? How might we relate to our own lives as a path, rather than a destination?

Drawing on personal experience and Buddhist tradition, this talk invites us to reflect on pilgrimage not just as something we do, but as an attitude we can embody, moment by moment, on the path to awakening.
