Home / Tudong 2019 50
On June 9, 2019 Ajahn Sek, Ajahn Ñāniko and Tan Tissaro set off on foot, walking north from Abhayagiri for a traditional wandering pilgrimage - referred to in Thailand as tudong. The journey lasted nearly 3 weeks and they were met with a great deal of support, curiosity, generosity, and kindness.
