This portfolio represents some of the images made during the course of four years of pilgrimage to the sacred places from the life of the Buddha in India. I was fortunate enough to be present at some of these pilgrimage sites with a number of my teachers and friends including Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Rabjam Rinpoche, Mattieu Ricard and the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. I am currently working on a book project on Buddhist pilgrimage sites in India.  Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche is writing the introduction on the life of Buddha.  His Holiness the 17th Karmapa has agreed to write the forward.
