“So, our journey together started by exploring the Buddhist faith in Kushinagar, in Uttar Pradesh, where the Buddha is said to have been buried. What I found most remarkable was the tranquility and simplicity of the place and the reverence people displayed towards the Buddha. We followed the monks around, who could hardly speak English, but it didn’t matter. We could cut through the superficial barriers between us by facial expressions and respect and by observing the significance of their gentle ways.”
