Viewed with the mind of a tourist, the holy places of the Buddha can be interesting, even fascinating, but for the serious student, their significance operates at a deeper level. For those who cultivate an attitude of respect and appreciation, pilgrimage can be a powerful and richly rewarding practice. The more the traveler knows about the places being visited, the more he or she will be able to open the heart to the Three Jewels.

In preparing this volume, we have sought to locate each Buddhist site in India, indicate historical events associated with it, describe the features that a pilgrim would find there, and indicate how the site figured in the transmission of the Dharma.
