1,200km journey of ‘enlightenment’ comes to an end


GEORGE TOWN: To relive the time when Gotama Buddha and his disciples walked thousands of kilometres up and down the Ganges River basin to share their way to the end of suffering, a group of two Buddhist monks of the Theravada tradition and 18 lay devotees went on a long journey on foot spanning more than three months.

They started on Nov 2 in Santi Forest Monastery in Ulu Tiram, Johor, and after reaching Perlis, doubled back to Penang to end their journey, a walk of about 1,200km.
