With Wendy Garling
Join us for this unique slideshow presentation through Buddhism’s Motherland where, for the first time after 2,500 years, a small pilgrimage group retraced the footsteps of the first women practitioners, led by Wendy Garling with special guest Venerable Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo. Featuring long-forgotten sacred sites and stories, this remarkable journey captures a huge missing piece in the story of early Buddhism while featuring the women who were crucial to Buddhism’s development.
