Inspiring Devotion and Dedication

A group of devoted Sri Lankan #pilgrims with #disabilities including #Manique Gunaratne prepared for a meaningful Buddha pilgrimage to India in November 2024. With unwavering faith and determination, they lovingly sewed robes for the priests and prepared pooja items as offerings for the sacred journey.

This initiative showcased their resilience, creativity, and commitment to their spiritual practice, proving that devotion knows no boundaries. As they got ready to embark on this profound journey, their actions reminded us of the power of inclusion, community, and shared purpose.

Let’s celebrate their inspiring efforts and a safe and fulfilling pilgrimage!
