Going on a Pilgrimage

Take your child on a Buddhist pilgrimage and have them experience spiritual growth and develop the virtuous qualities of adaptability, patience, and gratitude. This 32-page picture book presents the experience of a group of children going on a pilgrimage to the four holy sites, representing the four important events of the Buddha's life - his birth, Enlightenment, First Sermon, and Nirvana. From their journey, they learn to develop the merits of patience, kindness, and gratitude so they can apply them to their daily practice. From this, they elicit the fragrances of the Four Immeasurables - loving-kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity.
