Pilgrimage

Pariyatti's vision is to enrich the world by disseminating the words of the Buddha, providing sustenance for the seeker's journey, and illuminating the meditator's path. As we enter our second 25 years, Pariyatti is exploring diverse ways to serve Dhamma practitioners, scholars, and seekers. One valuable way to enrich the world and deepen awareness of the Buddha's teachings is to facilitate travel to places connected with the teachings of the Buddha and his followers.

Along the Path – India & Nepal

October 31 to November 21, 2019 (Geschlossen / Closed) | February 29 to March 21, 2020

Explore the four great places related to the Buddha's life as well as four other inspiring and important locations. These include Lumbini (Nepal) where the bodhisatta was born, Bodhgaya (India) where the Buddha was enlightened, Sarnath (India) where he started teaching Dhamma, and Kushinagar (India) where he entered parinibbāna at the end of his life.

We will visit these sites not as sight-seers, but rather as site-sitters, as we will meditate at each of these historically important sites to connect with the vibrancy of these locations as well as inspire and deepen our practice of vipassana.

Erkunde sowohl die vier wichtigsten Orte im Leben des Buddha, als auch vier weitere inspirierende und bedeutsame Plätze. Zu diesen Orten gehört Lumbini (Nepal), der Geburtsort des bodhisatta, Bodhgaya (Indien), der Ort an dem er völlige Erleuchtung erlangte, Sarnath (Indien), wo er zum ersten mal den Weg zur Erleuchtung lehrte und Kushinagar (Indien), dort ging er zum Ende seines Lebens ins Parinibbana ein.

Wir werden diese Orte nicht einfach als Touristen besuchen, sondern dort meditieren, um die besondere Atmosphäre dieser verschiedenen, historisch bedeutsamen Orte in uns aufzunehmen und damit unsere Inspiration und Praxis zu vertiefen.

Eligibility

Eligibility & Code of Conduct

Pariyatti pilgrims are expected to be serious Vipassana meditators who are committed exclusively to practicing Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka, and have: (click Read More)

completed (not including service) at least three 10-day Vipassana courses
not practiced any other meditation techniques since their last 10-day course
been practicing this technique of Vipassana for at least one year
attempted to maintain a meditation practice and the five precepts in daily life.

The capable Pilgrim:

understands that a Pilgrimage is not a vacation, but rather a serious endeavor that requires both physical and mental stamina. The Pilgrimage process is much more like a Vipassana course, and requires participants to practice awareness and equanimity to everything that they experience both externally and internally.
understands that a Pilgrimage is physically demanding. In addition to long hours of sitting, participants will often walk between the various sacred sites and frequently spend long periods of time on bumpy bus rides.
understands that it is his/her responsibility is to put up with discomforts and uncertainties as they arise, and also work with his/her inner “storms” in a balanced and responsible manner. Staying back from a day’s activities when feeling unwell, either mentally or physically, is not a loss but will help you recuperate for the rest of the pilgrimage. Pushing your limits is not acceptable as the results affect the entire group.
understands that while on a Pilgrimage, limiting speech is the best approach. When speech is necessary, it should be limited to the concerns at hand or to Dhamma-related discussions. This will foster a deeper and more balanced pilgrimage experience.
is expected to be firmly committed to daily meditation practice. Group sittings are central to the pilgrimage experience and to fostering unity and harmony with your fellow pilgrims.
is expected to be consistent in participating in scheduled group sittings. At the same time, s/he is expected to make sensible choices to maintain one’s physical, emotional and mental health and may choose to meditate on his/her own or to take rest, when needed.
is expected to dress modestly and in line with local cultural norms. Shorts, tank tops, and other tight or revealing clothing are not appropriate in the cultural context or while on a Pilgrimage. Clothing which is ideal for the climate meets these requirements, and it is available for minimal cost locally. Please plan ahead to ensure you have appropriate clothing before the pilgrimage starts.
is expected to comply with requests made by the Pilgrimage Guide and male/female managers.
understands that if s/he is unable to meet this Code of Conduct, s/he may be removed from the pilgrimage, and will be responsible for arranging the return travel.
is required to carry travel health insurance.
displays conduct that is amenable to group travel and appropriate for the cultural context.
