"Pilgrimage is an opportunity for pilgrims to cultivate their
inner life (or inner voice) in a way that leads to a greater sense
of peace and compassion a sense that pervades all of life."
From Chapter 6, Preparing to Practice
Pilgrimage is a spiritual practice of nearly every major
religion of the world. If you are a Christian you may travel to
sites associated with the life of Jesus; Jews might visit the
Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem and other sacred places
in the Holy Land of Israel; Muslims participate in the Hajj, the
journey to Mecca; Buddhists visit the sacred sites related to the
life of Buddha. Even if you practice no religion at all you will
still find that you most likely participate in this practice the
Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC, and Lenin's tomb in Moscow
are considered national pilgrimage sites. As a spiritual practice,
pilgrimage transcends religious, national, cultural and linguistic
boundaries.
This fascinating look at the sacred art of pilgrimage integrates
spirituality, practice, spiritual formation, psychology, world
religions and historical resources. It examines how the world s
religious pilgrimages evolved as central spiritual practices and
the relationship between pilgrimage and transformation. It explains
what makes a place holy, and why and how some sites are so
compelling that they attract thousands, even millions of pilgrims
each year."
