by Bro Chan Khoon San
The idea of a pilgrimage came from the Buddha
himself. Before He passed into Mahaparinibbana, the Buddha
advised pious disciples to visit four places that may be for
their inspiration after He was gone. They are Lumbini, where He
was born; Buddhagaya, where He attained Supreme Enlightenment;
Deer Park in Sarnath, where He preached the First Sermon; and
Kusinara, where He passed into Mahaparinibbana.

Ten thousand miles without a cloud
by Sun Shu Yun
Publisher: Harpercollins.co.uk
"Ten
Thousand Miles Without a Cloud" is a Buddhist saying. It means
the search for a mind clear of doubts: a perfect title for this
remarkable book on a journey of discovery and faith.
Following the footsteps of a monk, Sun Shu Yun
retraced a true Chinese hero, Xuanzang's step from China,
through Central Asia to India - the journey he made to find true
Buddhism - and in doing so traverses four landscapes -
historical, cultural, spiritual and personal, and gives us a
vivid and fascinating insight into China and its people, past
and present. Moving, brilliantly visual, original, Ten Thousand
Miles Without a Cloud is an extraordinary voyage of the soul.
The author's spiritual voyage on the Silk Road
was also a walk of determination.
