| The value of spending so much
time with a person living in vows
(Ven. Robina) was priceless. I
will forever be grateful that
I made the decision to participate
in the pilgrimage. The experience
has given me meaning and direction
in my life. |

I had hoped before I left that
it would help me with my daily
practice at home. It did and now
I'm doing much better. |

Ven. Robina was all we expected
and more. We learned so much.

I
didn't really know what to expect
as I'm not a Buddhist. It was
fantastic - meeting very nice
people, experiencing exotic
places, and studying the basics
of Buddhism. |

| There were no problems. Local
guide, Amber Tamang, was a great
help. |

Amber did an awesome job of
making sure everything went as
planned. The pilgrimage was an
incredible opportunity to be in
Ven. Robina's presence for a whole
month. |

The Nepali guide, Amber is a
wonderful person. He is thorough,
knowledgeable and helpful. He
along with Robina really made
the trip for me. |

| Wonderful, friendly, and professional
service by Effie and her office
staff. I felt special and well
cared for. I'd encourage doubtful
potential clients to get in touch
with past clients. |

You can't explain this opportunity,
it is so broad. The memories and
the lessons and the teachings
and the cooperation of this group
traveling together will stay with
me. |

| Walking in the footsteps of
Lord Buddha with Ven. Robina was
inspiring on so many levels. The
benefits are immeasurable. |

The opportunity to make a pilgrimage
like this comes along maybe once
in a lifetime. After the trip
I felt calmer and more centered.
Things seem clearer. I am much
more focused, and my commitment
to Buddhism has increased. |

| The Pilgrimage was a rich and
rewarding experience, so much
still to reflect on and to process.
It all ran very smoothly which
is amazing considering the challenges
that the culture and terrain present
the traveller with. It already
feels another lifetime away. |

It was a lot of fun. We kept
very busy and I liked that. It
surpassed my expectations. I don't
know how you could improve the
long drives through India but
that was a down point. |

| The Pilgrimage was much better
prepared and catered for then
I expected. The hotels were top
class...and the places we went
to beyond my expectations. It
was well organized. I was really
happy. Gleaming in fact! |

| Ven. Robina and others brought
us through some wild country,
different cultures and incredible
experiences safely and with delight.
It deepened my Buddhist practice. |

 The
Pilgrimage exceeded my expectations.
Everyone involved was knowledgeable,
courteous and organized. The food was
great. Although physical fitness was
mentioned in the brochure perhaps it
needs to be stressed more as some people
were not aware walking was involved. |
