Along the Path

Humanities professor and longtime Vipassana practitioner Kory Goldberg and yoga teacher Michelle Décary co-authored a genuinely useful guidebook for meditators visiting the Buddhist sacred sites of India and Nepal. Each entry blends anthology texts from Buddhist literature and pilgrimage accounts with hard practical information on getting there, where to sleep, what to eat, and which nearby Vipassana centers to visit. Multiple editions since 2012 confirm it fills a real gap. The spiritual framework is Buddhist, not Christian, which readers on faith-aligned platforms should note — but the content is respectful, clear, and entirely free of explicit or violent material. For anyone planning a Buddhist pilgrimage, this is the book to bring.
