The Sacred Journey (A Monk's Pilgrimage) | Original Buddhist Documentary

Tudonga is an ancient pilgrimage that monks have walked on for centuries. This practice is another form of training for the monks. It reminds us of living simply, detachment, impermanence, and meditation.
This journey for me is symbolic of life in general. The road of life is long. It comes with many difficulties such as aches and pain, illnesses, exhaustion, ups and down, etc, and on this long journey its important to practice one's mind to be still and calm.
Through all the turbalances, we'll come across many different people on this road to support us. We'll encounter many friends who will walk along this path with us. But one thing that is key is that no matter what comes our way, just KEEP ON WALKING. Keep focus and just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
This story is personal to me because it shows the journey of my international brother monks from the Papae Meditation Retreat. This pilgrimage was taken in northern Thailand to the Pai International Meditation Retreat center over a 5 day period. While the pictures may be beautiful, the journey was NOT easy with the extreme weather and windy roads. While this pilgrimage happens yearly in Thailand, not many people get an opportunity to see what it's like in a more in-depth look.
In this video, I wanted to give you that lens. I wanted to show you the generous people that we encounter, the beautiful sites, the rich culture, and quiet moments of the pilgrimage as well. So welcome to our world and I hope you enjoy :) #pilgrimage #monks #meditation

    I can see myself taking that wonderful sacred journey with the monks for 5 days, why not? In fact, I envy their way of life. Who wouldn't want a peaceful, simple, communal, non-materialistic way of life? We live be in such a chaotic world especially nowadays, it literally drains every cell in my body 🥵 Pissarro once wrote "Blessed are those who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing." Btw.......... Your videos are so amazingly well-made, they should be featured in the History International channel 👍🏻

    This is very touching. No narration needed. You allowed us to enjoy it in silence, as the monks did. I see that you are developing your videographic skills, now using a drone. Showed us a beautiful perspective of the landscapes and the monks walking through it from above. Did you know that you had this talent in you, to be such a great story teller? Without even saying a word, merely presenting the images. Beautiful and inspiring, as so many of your other videos are. May the Buddha continue to guide, protect, and bless you . . . In gassho . . .

Reminded me of Japanese traditional clothing. I then noticed that every monk had their own way of doing their obi/ belt. Looking forward to more videos as you have a great eye.

Being a fellow INFx like you, I am so happy regarding the fact that how INFJs can be so valuable in this crazy world. Some day, I would like to come there and meet you in person and spend some time in your meditation retreat.(Thailand I guess). More Power and Peace to you.

    I have to confess that I have to listen to all your videos twice. There is something about your voice that is like a lullaby to my ears. So my first listening session is to sleep and relax and them the next day to soak it in. I don’t mind. One goes into the subconscious (when I fall asleep) and then the second one stays in my consciousness. Thank you…. Twice 😉

    Hi Nick!! I heard my phone chime and I thought "oh man it's my boss texting me (reading his texts always stresses me out and gets me wound up) OR it is one of my employees calling in sick for tomorrow (which equally stresses me out and gets me wound up but ALSO makes my job significantly harder) I picked up the phone apprehensive to look at the screen, then I saw it....a KZread notification...and I knew there was hope....I entered my password to unlock the phone to further explore the notification...And it is your upload! (I SO look forward to!) Immediately I smile and find a quiet place to sit and watch. I see the Monks meditate, I feel so at peace, as if I am there with you! I thank you everytime, I truly am grateful for each video you create. I see you as: "My Virtual Personal Advisor And Spiritual Guide" You're such a pure spirit and much appreciated! I'm glad to see that you're doing well and always thinking about us! 🙏👍❤️👏

    Thank you for posting this! The drone footage gave a unique sense of perspective. Please let your follow monks know their work is very inspiring. I know I’m going to write a longer post at some point... lol. It’s just that they don’t seem to be trying to accomplish anything accept getting from point a to b. They work very hard but don’t seem tired or fatigued. They live in harmony with nature and each other. It is a remarkable accomplishment, but to you guys it’s just another day. I want to learn how to live this way. Thank you for setting a wonderful example for us all. Great video Nick.

I will understand if you don't have an answer for this question, it's just something that I was curious about.
