Footsteps of Buddha

I’m excited to share that my new book project, Footsteps of Buddha – Buddhist Pilgrimage in India, is now live on Kickstarter!

This book has been many years in the making—drawing from over two decades of travel, practice, and photography across India’s sacred Buddhist sites. It’s both a visual and spiritual journey through the places where the Buddha lived and taught, brought to life through over 100 images and reflections from the path. Adding to its depth and insight, the book features an 18-page introduction titled "Getting to Know the Buddha" written by the great Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. In fact, one of my own pilgrimages to these very sites on the Buddhist circuit was undertaken in the inspiring company of Ponlop Rinpoche himself.

I’m reaching out to ask for your support—whether through a pledge, sharing the link with others who might resonate with the project, or simply holding the intention for its success. Every bit helps, and I’m deeply grateful.

There are some beautiful rewards available, including signed copies of the book, limited-edition prints, and even a one-on-one session to help plan your own pilgrimage. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
