Pilgrimage
The sacred journey to a holy place — an outer journey that mirrors the inner path to the divine.
“And (due) to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House (the Kaaba) - for whoever is able to find thereto a way.”
“The pilgrim who visits the sacred sites and bathes in the holy rivers is purified of all sins accumulated over many lifetimes.”
“People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. But they are longing for a better country - a heavenly one.”
“The Buddha's bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya becomes the destination for pilgrims seeking enlightenment and connection to the Buddha's awakening.”
“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.”
“Pilgrims journey to sacred mountains and shrines to honor kami, seek purification, and renew connection with the natural and spiritual worlds.”
“The true pilgrimage is the journey inward to find God within the heart, more valuable than all outer journeys.”
“The pilgrimage to sacred mountains and sites strengthens connection to the land and ancestors. Each journey brings transformation and healing.”
