This book is dedicated to our spiritual advisors, who
accompanied the various pilgrimage groups to India from
1991 to 2001. Their guidance and patience, in helping
to create a better understanding of the significance of
the pilgrimage in Buddhism, have helped to make those
journeys of faith more meaningful and beneficial to all
the pilgrims concerned. They are: Venerable Sayadaw
U Jnanapurnik of Kathmandu, Nepal; Venerable
B. Saranankara Mahathera of Sentul, Kuala Lumpur;
Venerable Sayadaw U Rewata of Yangon, Myanmar;
and Sister Uppalavanna of Kathmandu, Nepal.
