Bhante Bodhicitta walking his dogs past the thousand-Buddha statues at Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden

“Robe. Bowl. Feet. Breath. Presence.”

A Theravada Buddhist monk from Canada, resident at Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden. From June through October 2026 I am walking my own training pilgrimage — preparing in body and mind for the Thudong.

So much of my practice has been sound meditation and the Dharma — cultivating peace within, and helping others find stillness in themselves. This pilgrimage is an extension of that same intention, except now peace is carried forward physically, one step at a time.
