June 2006: Pilgrimage to Tibet (June 2nd - 17th)

Lynne Wiggins invites you to travel with her on two week journey to Tibet. We will be joined by our special internationally renowned Tibetologist and teacher of Tantric Buddhist meditation, Glenn Mullin. The focus of our trip will be a pilgrimage and a cultural insight. Our trip will begin in Xining, the birthplace of Je Tsongkhapa, and then we fly to Lhasa. During our five days in Lhasa, we will visit the Jokhang, the Barkhor, the Potala Palance and the Sera and Drepung Monasteries. We will also make outings to the great places of the region; Reting and Pha Bong Kha where we will have the opportunity to follow the pilgrims trail on foot and to meditate in caves where Great Tibetan Buddhist masters have lived for many years. After this we will drive to Gyantse via the Turquoise Lake, continuing to Shigatse, the second largest city of Tibet and home to Tashilunpo Monastery, the seat of the Panchen Lama. We end our pilgrimage in Tsedang visiting the sites in the Yarlung Valley including Samye, the first monastery of Tibet. Click here for details.
