In the Footsteps of the Buddha: A Virtual Pilgrimage with Khensur Thupten Tenzin Rinpoche

Are you curious about Buddhism, the life of the Buddha, or how ancient wisdom can still shape our modern lives? This immersive virtual pilgrimage offers a unique chance to explore these questions while traveling—virtually—through some of the most sacred sites in Buddhist history.

Led by master teacher Khensur Thupten Tenzin Rinpoche, you’ll visit the places where the Buddha’s journey unfolded:

• Lumbini, Nepal — where he was born

• Bodhgaya — where he attained enlightenment

• Varanasi — where he gave his first teachings

• Nalanda — a thriving center of Buddhist learning

• Kushinagar — where he passed into final liberation

Through five pre-recorded video lectures, rich with photos and on-location footage, you’ll learn the story behind each place—its historical and spiritual significance—and receive teachings that connect the Buddha’s journey to your own inner path.

You’ll also get the rare opportunity to connect directly with Khensur Rinpoche during a live Q&A, where you can ask questions and dive deeper into the teachings.

Whether you’re new to Buddhism or looking to deepen your practice, this course offers a powerful way to engage with the living wisdom of the Buddha — rooted in real places, real experiences, and timeless insights that continue to resonate across centuries and cultures.

Khensur Rinpoche Thupten Tenzin

Khensur Thupten Tenzin Rinpoche was born high in the Himalayan valley of Spiti. At the age of 8 he took his vows as a monk. He completed his studies in Psychology, Buddhist Philosophy, Debate, Metaphysics and Monastic Discipline at Gaden Shartse Monastery in South India. Upon receiving the highest degrees as a Geshe Larampa, he began teaching and became known throughout the world for his profound understanding and mastery of Buddhist Philosophy. In 2014, His Holiness the Dalai Lama asked him to become the Vice Abbot of Gyuto Tantric Monastery, one of the most prestigious institutions in Tibetan Buddhism. In 2017, he became full Abbot and held that post until 2020. We are very fortunate to be able to receive his teachings and to be able to learn how to bring wisdom and skillful means together to improve our understandings and the quality of our lives.
