We are so excited to bring you In the Footsteps of the Buddha: A Pilgrimage to the Source of Mindfulness – an opportunity to travel to Buddhism’s holy sites with a group of MMTCP alumni. Pilgrimage dates November 30 – December 13, 2025; led by Dharmacharya Shantum Seth and supporting MMTCP teacher Anne Cushman.

Honor the ancient Buddhist origins of all mindfulness teachings as you retrace the path of the Buddha’s life through northern India. Join members of your MMTCP alumni sangha on a transformative journey that will allow you to touch an ancient and diverse culture and civilization. Experience the life of the Buddha through the places he lived, meditated, and taught. This pilgrimage is an unforgettable opportunity to explore areas that few tourists visit and to experience aspects of contemporary Indian life that, in many ways, have not changed since the time of the Buddha. Along the way, you’ll deepen your understanding of the depth and breadth of your mindfulness lineage in ways that will enrich you both as a practitioner and teacher.

Registration is Open!
