Bound by Faith, Guided by Compassion: A Pilgrimage to Dambadiwa - INDIA

A remarkable journey began in November 2024!  A #diverse group, including #Manique Gunaratne, persons with #disabilities, embarked on a spiritual pilgrimage to #Dambadiwa, #India, the sacred land of Lord #Buddha’s teachings. Starting from the Colombo airport 🇱🇰, passing through Bangalore 🇮🇳, and arriving in Varanasi , this journey was a testament to unity, #inclusion, and devotion.

Organized by the #Damrivi Foundation, this pilgrimage exemplified how shared faith and mutual respect transcend all boundaries. Let’s celebrate this inspiring group as they explored the roots of mindfulness, compassion, and enlightenment.
