Podcasts about footsteps

Tell me if you've ever said something like this before: “If my boss wasn't such a jerk, I'd like my job.” “If my wife would just listen to me, we'd be able to be happy.” "If only my friends would stop doing x, y, or z, I'd be able to be myself.” This blame game is a favorite tool of the enemy going all the way back to Eden. As long as we're focused on what other people aren't doing right or how they're hurting us and waiting on them to change, we're not facing ourselves and becoming the saints we're called to be. In this episode, we're talking about why so many of us feel stuck. The simple answer is that we fall into this trap that says happiness and freedom depend on other people changing their behavior, and that's not at all the case. We'll get into:

Series: Jesus PrayedOverview: This week we discussed how we can come to the Father persistently, in humility, and as His children. To access our message notes, click here. Passages: Luke 18:1-17Speaker: Jake Brahm (6/21/26)

Pastor Dana returns with the “Walking in Jesus' Footsteps” series, diving into Matthew 5:1-2, the precursor to the Sermon on the Mount, and Matthew 9:14-17, which finds Jesus answering a question about fasting through an illustration. Luke 8:4-10 is the Parable of the Sower, which Jesus explains plainly to His disciples. Then in Luke 10:38-42, Jesus visits Mary, whose priority is to be His student, and Martha, whose priority is to be His welcoming host. Jesus taught anywhere so that people could transform their lives with transformed hearts and minds.

If you wish to support our podcast, please follow this link. Thank you! Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This episode was recorded live onstage in New Delhi, India, in February 2026, at the end of the pilgrimage In the Footsteps of the Buddha. Leadership coach Jo Confino was joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Tam Muoi and Dharma teacher Shantum Seth to discuss what it means to renew Buddhism, and Thich Nhat Hanh’s vision for doing so – including his emphasis on simplicity, equality, and making the teachings accessible and relevant to the contemporary world. They also reflect on their 14-day pilgrimage in India, and how it deepened their understanding of and connection to the Buddha’s teachings. This includes Sister Tam Muoi's insights about the strong sangha formed among the diverse group of 60 pilgrims from 16 different countries. She also reflects on her personal connection to India and her healing journey of reconnecting with the Buddha’s teachings in their land of origin. Shantum Seth, who has been leading pilgrimages in India for over 30 years, explains the transformative power of these journeys in allowing people to connect with the Buddha as a human being and experience his teachings' relevance to their own lives. He also shares plans for the Ahimsa Trust to establish a Plum Village center in India, to continue Thich Nhat Hanh’s legacy and bring the Dharma to a wider audience, especially a young one. Shantum Seth, an ordained Dharmacharya (Dharma teacher) in the Buddhist Mindfulness lineage of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, teaches in India and across the world. A co-founder of Ahimsa Trust, he has been a student of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings for the past 35 years, and, since 1988, has led pilgrimages and other multi-faith, educational, cultural, spiritual, and transformative journeys across diverse regions of India and Asia. He is actively involved in educational, social, and ecological programmes, including work on cultivating mindfulness in society, including with educators, the Indian Central Reserve Police Force, and the corporate sector. Across various Indian sanghas, Dharmacharya Shantum is the primary teacher of different practices of mindfulness from Thich Nhat Hanh's tradition. Sister Tam Muoi (Sister Samadhi) is from the UK and was ordained in 2012 and became a Dharma teacher in 2022. Having encountered the practice whilst living in France, she became engaged in the French lay sangha and was ordained into the Order of Interbeing in 2004. She is actively supporting the recently created Being Peace Practice Centre in the UK and is deeply committed to the work of healing ancestral harm, and to participation in trainings and retreats exploring White Awareness.

I find that difficult – but I love the sitting.' And Thay would say, ‘Well, then sit. Do the practice that you enjoy.' It’s so important to touch joy in whatever practice we do. It shouldn’t be hard work and creating more battles on your cushion.” “Suffering is where we start. It’s your own suffering you have to handle. But also look at the suffering in the world. It’s not separate: other people’s suffering is your suffering; other people’s happiness is your happiness. That’s where we start. And then, know that all these things are interconnected. Nothing exists independently.” “India is a great teacher because she’s confronting you all the time. That’s why we call her Mother India, I guess. She also challenges every preconception, and so, ‘Everything you say about India, the exact opposite is also true.'” “It’s dangerous coming to India because you’re going to go back different.” “Don’t believe something just because a teacher says it, or because it’s written in scripture, or has come from centuries-old tradition. Try it. And see how you feel.” “Thay was a very revolutionary teacher because of his aspiration to make Buddhism relevant. He had seen the damage done by dogmatism, by fossilization. And so he was always thinking of new ways that we could make Buddhism appropriate.” “Our precepts – the behavioral code for all the monastics and also for the lay friends – are rewritten every five or 10 years to update them. It's quite extraordinary that Thay had the courage to do that; he faced criticism from many very traditional countries.” “Something important about the Buddha Dharma is that it is very much about what we experience in this world. We’re not talking about something which is going to happen after some sort of transcendence. And that’s why I think the Buddha Dharma is relevant to our Earth: we have to care for this little planet of ours, we have to care for our rivers, we have to care for our climate, to care for each other. And it’s not about an outcome in some past or future life; the karma happens right here and now. Every action has a result and that result can be seen in this life and in this community.” “You sit, you enjoy your breath, you get a little sense of being a Buddha for a moment. Maybe you can become a part-time Buddha, maybe a full-time Buddha. ‘Buddha' just means ‘to be awake' – and with mindfulness practice, being mindful is a type of awakening.”

Have you ever really listened to your footsteps while you run? This week's ZenRUN Moment is all about tuning into one of the most overlooked parts of running - the sound your feet make as they meet the ground. It sounds simple, but it can completely change the way you experience a run. As you head out on your next run, spend a few minutes listening to your footsteps. Are they light or heavy? Fast or slow? Smooth or uneven? Don't worry about changing anything straight away. Just notice. Your footsteps can tell you a lot about how you're moving and how you're feeling. They often reveal when you're carrying tension, rushing, settling into a rhythm, or starting to fatigue. The beauty of this practice is that it gives your mind something simple and useful to focus on. Instead of getting caught up in pace, distance, work, life, or the hundred other thoughts competing for attention, you begin to tune into the run itself. Many runners find that when they focus on the rhythm of their footsteps, their breathing settles and their mind becomes quieter too. On your next run, let your footsteps become your soundtrack. Listen to the rhythm, notice what it tells you, and see what happens when you spend a little less time thinking and a little more time experiencing. Small moments of awareness like this can completely change the way running feels.

In this episode, spiritual director John Bruna begins his commentary on the text “Following in the Buddha's Footsteps,” written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chödron. John covers a section in the text that is focused on taking refuge and gives clarifying guidance on this aspect of the path to Enlightenment. This episode was recorded on May 20th, 2026.Welcome to the Way of Compassion Dharma Center Podcast.

How do you stay true to Christ? I hear this question so often. People are creatures of habit; when things get difficult, it's easy for us to go back to our bad habits, our addictions, our sins. As the book of Proverbs says, we so often go back to our sins the way a dog goes back to its vomit. What I've discovered in my life is that the key to staying faithful to Christ is to understand the gift that He's given you. That's what we're talking about in this episode. We'll get into:

The family home had stood in rural Ireland for generations, passing from one branch of the family to the next. Like many old houses, it came with stories. Footsteps in empty rooms. Doors that seemed to move on their own. A lingering sense that someone else might still be there.Most of the family disagreed on whether any of it was truly paranormal.Then one night, while staying alone in the house and watching the family dogs, he experienced something he couldn't explain away.What happened in the living room lasted less than a minute, but it left a lasting impression. Years later, after keeping the story to himself, a chance conversation at a family wedding would reveal something even stranger: he wasn't the only person who had experienced it.And the similarities were far too specific to ignore. #RealGhostStories #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedIreland #IrishGhostStory #ShadowFigure #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #UnexplainedMysteryLove real ghost stories?

The great London freeze of January had turned the River Thames into a magnificent highway of solid ice. Merchants had erected a bustling "Frost Fair" directly over the frozen tides, filling the air with the scents of roasting chestnuts, hot gin, and boiling tallow. Inside 221B Baker Street, the cold pressed hard against our windows, but Sherlock Holmes was utterly absorbed. He sat at his chemical table, using a pipette to drop a reagent onto a tray of ice crystals.

The Victorian house seemed perfect for five college students. It was affordable, close to campus, and large enough that everyone finally had room to breathe.Then they started hearing someone else.Not a ghostly apparition. Not a shadow figure. Just the ordinary sounds of another person moving through the house. Footsteps in empty hallways. Doors opening and closing. Someone arriving home when nobody had arrived at all.At first, they assumed it was one of their roommates. Then they started keeping track.The longer they lived there, the more one strange pattern emerged: nearly every experience began when someone believed another person should be nearby.And after learning the house had once operated as a busy boarding house, they began wondering whether the building itself had simply never gotten used to being empty. #RealGhostStories #HauntedCollegeHouse #TheSixthRoommate #ParanormalExperience #HauntedBoardingHouse #GhostStory #TrueGhostStories #ResidualHaunting #CollegeGhostStory #UnexplainedEncountersLove real ghost stories?

As Catholics, we treat Mary with a particular sense of reverence and honor. But sometimes it's hard to know how to relate to her, and how to open ourselves up to a relationship with her without feeling like we're somehow taking time away from her Son. The truth is that she always brings us closer to Jesus, so the time we spend with her is time spent with Him. That's what my friend John Heinen, executive director of The Catholic Gentleman, joins us in the pew to talk about. Today, we're going to talk about:

God did not create us to have a mediocre marriage. My good friend Paul George, the author of Rethink Happiness and Holy Grit, joins us today to discuss common ways our marriages get put on the back burner and how to make sure that our union is treated like the sacrament that it is. In this episode we're talking about:

In this week's podcast of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear, we'll take a look at another Bear king of the East who was drawn into the river as a pattern for the future triumph of the virtuous woman and Messiah Yeshua in Revelation. Hint: the Bear gets torched.

When nine-year-old Michael received a Ouija board for his birthday, nobody thought much of it. The board sat on the kitchen table, the family treated it like a game, and the name "Jimmy" appeared among the answers.Soon afterward, strange things began happening. Nightmares. Footsteps in the hallway. An overwhelming sense that something was watching from the basement.For years, the family believed the explanation was obvious. Jimmy had arrived through the Ouija board, and the haunting followed.Then, decades later, Michael revealed something he had never told anyone about his final conversations with Jimmy. And for the first time, the family was forced to consider a far more unsettling possibility:What if Jimmy wasn't the thing haunting the house at all? #RealGhostStories #OuijaBoard #HauntedHouse #ParanormalExperience #BasementHaunting #SpiritCommunication #GhostStory #TrueParanormal #SupernaturalEncounter #OuijaBoardStoriesLove real ghost stories?

This is a CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOOn March 3rd, 1928, the town of Williamson, West Virginia, celebrated the opening of a state-of-the-art facility: the Williamson Hospital. For 60 years, it served as the heart of the community. Within its walls, countless lives began, countless lives ended, and unthinkable traumas unfolded. Generations of families were touched by its legacy.In 1988, the hospital closed its doors for good. The patients left. The staff moved on. The hallways fell silent. Or so it seemed.Today, the building is known as The Old Hospital on College Hill, and while its days as a functioning medical facility are over, the energy of the past has never truly gone away. Visitors, paranormal investigators, and staff all report that the hospital remains active—just not in the way it once was. Spirits of doctors, nurses, and patients are said to still roam the halls, carrying out their duties as if time never stopped.Footsteps echo in empty corridors. Disembodied voices whisper through examination rooms. Some claim to have seen figures in white coats moving through the wards, still working to “help the sick.” Others feel an oppressive sadness in the rooms where trauma unfolded, or hear faint cries of patients long gone.Now open to the public, The Old Hospital on College Hill offers both historical tours and paranormal investigations, giving visitors a chance to experience firsthand what lingers in this haunted landmark.On this episode of The Grave Talks, we speak with Tonya Webb, co-owner and manager of the hospital, to uncover its history, its hauntings, and why so many believe the building never truly closed its doors.Some hospitals heal the living.

No reason to believe anything paranormal had ever happened there.Then the family replaced the backyard fence.What began as a normal weekend project slowly turned into something none of them could explain after they uncovered a weathered child's headstone buried beneath the property line. Soon afterward, the atmosphere inside the house began changing. Footsteps crossed the laundry room late at night. The dogs refused to go near the fence after dark. And somewhere outside near the disturbed dirt, a little girl could occasionally be seen standing silently beside the alley.But the deeper the family looked into the history of the marker, the stranger the story became. #RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #BuriedSecrets #GhostChild #ParanormalExperience #HauntedBackyard #TrueGhostStory #SupernaturalEncounter #CreepyDiscoveries #HauntedPropertyLove real ghost stories?

April 25, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 3 - 1:15 PM Session In this episode we unpack Hebrews 11 and ask the question: why is Abraham called the father of our faith? Using Genesis, Romans, and Hebrews as touchstones, the speaker explores Abraham not only as a literal progenitor but as a spiritual model whose life teaches us how to live by faith. Guests Jett and Luke deliver reflections that frame Abraham's life as a pattern to follow — three specific “footprints” are highlighted: the footprint of trust (obeying God without a blueprint), the footprint of a traveler (living as temporary residents in tents while seeking a heavenly city), and the footprint of sacrifice (willingness to surrender what we love most, exemplified by Abraham's offering of Isaac). The episode references key scriptures (Hebrews 11:8–19, Romans 4, Genesis 12 & 15, John 14:3, Philippians 3:20, 1 Corinthians 15:58) and translates those passages into practical application: examining modern “Isaacs” (idols like phones, social media, jobs, hobbies), reconsidering where we set our roots, and embracing baptism and a pilgrim mentality. The sermon challenges listeners to trade earthly certainty for God's presence and to live visibly as people seeking a better country. Listeners can expect pastoral teaching, personal illustrations, and a clear invitation to evaluate their spiritual residency. The episode closes with gratitude to Jett, Luke, their parents and congregations, and a reminder of upcoming small-group sessions and panels for further discussion. Duration 11:06

For years, his friends thought he had simply drifted away. He stopped answering calls, stopped inviting people over, and slowly disappeared from the group without ever really explaining why.Then one stormy night, they finally ended up inside his house again.At first, the strange sounds upstairs felt easy to dismiss. Old houses make noise during storms. Footsteps. Doors shifting. Creaking floors. But the longer the night went on, the more unsettling the house became—and the more disturbing his reaction to it felt.Because while everyone else was frightened by the footsteps moving through empty rooms, he acted like someone who had been listening to them for years.And by the end of the night, his friends realized something worse than the haunting itself:  He had already learned how to live with it. #RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #GhostlyFootsteps #ParanormalExperience #TrueGhostStory #SupernaturalEncounter #HauntedHallway #ScaryStories #StormyNight #HauntedHome Love real ghost stories?

I have noticed that in the Kali Yuga, although the last pillar supposedly is truthfulness, that seems to have been eroding quite quickly. I have noticed, however, that oftentimes people make public statements in a political setting, but then, when they're under deposition, they completely change their story because they know that in deposition under oath, you're liable for telling the truth and can be held accountable for it. Well, those brave souls who are accepting initiation are putting themselves under scrutiny. Freedom requires responsibility. rāga-dveṣa-vimuktais tu viṣayān indriyaiś caran ātma-vaśyair vidheyātmā prasādam adhigacchati Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad Gītā (BG 2.64), "If you want to be free, you have to take responsibility. You have to be vigilant to maintain freedom." Supposedly, one of our statesmen—although it may be apocryphal—said this about maintaining freedom in democracy: It requires vigilance. So today, as you take your vows, you're making a stand against the eons of living in darkness and prevaricating in speech, and taking the path of the saints. mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimuktes tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā vimanyavaḥ suhṛdaḥ sādhavo ye Those who follow the saints, Ṛṣabhadeva (SB 5.5.2) says can enter into the door of liberation by following the footsteps of the great souls. So the chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa is what the great liberated souls do and what they advocate for. And today, when you take vows in front of the devotees, in front of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta, in front of your guru-varga, then you're taking responsibility for your advancement. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Then,  we head to Vermont, where a quiet morning walk around a fog-covered pond turns into something unsettling.  Then, two tales from the same person, separated by twenty five years makes you wonder if this is a paranormal fire warning.

"What happens when young Catholics stop sitting on the sidelines? Today Fr. Jacob Dumont, a local superior for the Legionaries of Christ in Cincinnati and my spiritual director, joins us in the pew to talk about the explosion of faith happening in the Church right now. This is happening in particular among younger people, and so many of them are searching for truth, purpose, and something real, and are finding it exactly where we'd hope: in the Catholic Church, which contains the fullness of truth. In this episode, we're talking about: - Why young people are hungry for real faith and relationships - How accompaniment keeps people from falling away - What it means to trust God enough to step out of your comfort zone Fr. Jacob shares stories from campus ministry and from his own priesthood that show how powerful one “yes” can be. If you've been feeling called to go deeper or wondering where God is calling you, I hope this episode is a reminder that renewal starts with you." Many of us live in the past or in the future, and we're not present to anything. The devil loves to use this tactic to rob us, to get us listening to the wrong voice and pulling us away from the one thing we can do something about: the present moment. We talked last week about some of those voices and who they're coming from. Today Victor and I follow this theme some more and talk about what happens when we listen to those voices and focus on the things we can't change. We can't change the past, and the future is unknown. But to God, everything is present. He's present. And with Him is where He wants you to be. So be present with us for a little while, and then go and be present with your friends, your family, and with God. “Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.” (Matthew 6:34) Check out the Legionaries of Christ: https://rcohiovalley.org/legionaries Follow this link to order your signed copy today: https://store.justaguyinthepew.com/ Learn more about our pilgrimage: Walk in the Footsteps of Pope St. John Paul II with John

The house should have felt safe. It was brand new, sitting in a freshly built subdivision filled with unfinished homes, construction dust, and empty lots waiting for families to move in. But the moment she first walked through the front door at twelve years old, something inside her knew the house was wrong.At first, the strange experiences seemed explainable. Footsteps upstairs. Doors slamming. Objects moving. Then the atmosphere inside the home began changing. Fear seemed to spread through the rooms themselves. Her stepfather became increasingly paranoid and unstable, convinced people were living inside the walls and attic. The children started sharing identical nightmares. And underneath everything was what the family simply called “the noise”—a heavy pressure inside the house that seemed to grow louder whenever anger or fear filled the rooms.Years later, the family still debates what really happened there.But every single one of them remembers the same thing: the moment they finally left the house… the noise stopped. #RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ParanormalExperience #ShadowPeople #TrueGhostStory #SupernaturalEncounter #HauntedHome #ParanormalActivity #ScaryStories #PsychologicalHorrorLove real ghost stories?

For a long time, the strange activity in the house was easy to dismiss. Footsteps upstairs. Toys moving around. The feeling that someone else was in the room. Creepy, sure—but manageable.Then they saw the little boy.Not a shadow. Not a vague figure in the corner of a room. A child. Running through the upstairs bedrooms while the family's daughters were outside playing in the yard. After that, everything in the house started to feel different.The shared closet between the girls' bedrooms became the center of the activity. Toys appeared where no one had left them. Footsteps crossed the upstairs landing at all hours. And the family slowly began to wonder if whatever was in the house wasn't trying to scare the children at all. Maybe it was trying to join them.#RealGhostStories #GhostChild #HauntedHouse #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #HauntedCloset #ChildSpirit #ThingsInTheDark #ParanormalEncounter #UnexplainedMysteryLove real ghost stories?

They rented the cabin for the isolation. After months of stress and noise, a few quiet days beside a remote mountain lake sounded perfect.Then the sounds started after dark.Music drifted faintly through the trees while voices carried somewhere beyond the lake. Sometimes the sounds felt distant. Other times, it seemed like people were standing just outside the cabin itself. Footsteps crossed the gravel around the porch. Car doors slammed nearby. Quiet conversations moved through the woods.But every time they looked outside, the forest was completely empty The next day, they discovered the remains of an abandoned campground hidden deeper along the lake—one that had supposedly been closed for years.#RealGhostStories #CabinInTheWoods #ParanormalEncounter #VoicesInTheDark #AbandonedCampground #UnexplainedSounds #SomethingInTheWoods #GhostStory #HauntedLake #TrueParanormalLove real ghost stories?

If you wish to support our podcast, please visit this link. Thank you! Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. The fifth in a series of six episodes recorded during the In the Footsteps of the Buddha pilgrimage, this instalment was made in Kushinagar, India, in February 2026. In it, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino are joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Tam Muoi and Dharma teacher Shantum Seth to reflect on the Buddha's final days and the legacy and continuation of his teachings. They also discuss Thich Nhat Hanh's passing and how Plum Village responded to his transition; the responsibility of current and future generations to continue his work and teachings; and the importance of the multi-fold community in preserving and spreading the Buddha’s teachings in a way that is relevant and accessible to the modern world. Furthermore, Shantum Seth provides historical context about the Buddha’s final journey and the events after his passing, including the first Buddhist council and the spread of Buddhism; Brother Phap Huu draws parallels between the Buddha’s and Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings and legacies; and Sister Tam Muoi discusses the importance of the monastic order in continuing the Buddha’s teachings – as well as Thich Nhat Hanh’s vision for the Plum Village tradition to evolve and adapt while staying true to its core principles. About the pilgrimage: In 1988, Shantum Seth was invited by Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) to organize a pilgrimage to the sacred sites associated with the Buddha's life across India. Subsequently, Thay encouraged Shantum to continue guiding such journeys each year, offering pilgrimage itself as a mindfulness practice – one that the Buddha had suggested. Shantum has been leading these transformative journeys ever since, offering people from around the world the opportunity to follow In the Footsteps of the Buddha with awareness and insight. After 15 years at the United Nations, Shantum left to volunteer with the Ahimsa Trust, which represents Thay's work in India and promotes the practice of “peace in oneself and peace in the world”. Through Buddhapath, his expression of Right Livelihood, Shantum continues to guide pilgrimages and share the wisdom and culture of the places he visits in India and across Buddhist Asia, cultivating community through these deeply meaningful journeys.To learn more about upcoming pilgrimages, visit www.buddhapath.com, or follow Shantum on Facebook and Instagram at @eleven_directions. Shantum Seth, an ordained Dharmacharya (Dharma teacher) in the Buddhist Mindfulness lineage of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, teaches in India and across the world. A co-founder of Ahimsa Trust, he has been a student of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings for the past 35 years, and, since 1988, has led pilgrimages and other multi-faith, educational, cultural, spiritual, and transformative journeys across diverse regions of India and Asia. He is actively involved in educational, social, and ecological programmes, including work on cultivating mindfulness in society, including with educators, the Indian Central Reserve Police Force, and the corporate sector. Across various Indian sanghas, Dharmacharya Shantum is the primary teacher of different practices of mindfulness from Thich Nhat Hanh's tradition. Sister Tam Muoi (Sister Samadhi) is from the UK and was ordained in 2012, becoming a Dharma teacher in 2022. Having encountered the practice whilst living in France, she became engaged in the French lay sangha and was ordained into the Order of Interbeing in 2004. She is actively supporting the recently created Being Peace Practice Centre in the UK and is deeply committed to the work of healing ancestral harm, participating in trainings and retreats exploring White Awareness.

There’s only one moment to live and to touch life, and that is the very here and now.”“All conditioned reality is subject to decay. Strive on diligently – essentially meaning, Everything is impermanent; keep up the practice.” “Dwelling happily in the present moment is the insight of meditation. But dwelling happily in the present moment doesn’t mean that suffering doesn’t exist; doesn’t mean that our anger and our frustration is not there. But, no matter what the situation is – whether it is loss, grief, frustration, chaos – as a practitioner, we have to have the ability to dwell in the very here and now, and allow ourselves to see that wonder, because that wonder is the light that shines through the darkness, the fog, the chaos.” “When we’re reaching the end of our lives, we want to declutter. We want to put our affairs in order. We want to make sure, to the best of our abilities, that we leave life clean, that we don’t leave arguments, resentments, and suffering behind for the next generation to have to deal with.” “I have never met an individual. I meet the entire lineage of that person stretching back to the beginning of time – because, if there’d been an interruption, then you wouldn’t exist.” “The Buddha said, ‘I’ve never taught with a clenched fist, I have offered all the teachings for you to be calm, peaceful, transform your emotions, and be liberated. And so keep the Dharma as your island and be a light unto yourself, and keep the Dharma as your island.' So he’s very clear that the Dharma is his continuation; the teachings and practice are his continuation.” “In a country like India, the Buddha exists at a very ambient level, in the way we live our lives and feel the interconnectedness of everything, with nature, with other people.” “If we know how to suffer, we’re going to suffer a whole lot less.” “Thay would always include our lay friends. Whenever he was teaching in any ceremony he would always add, ‘And our lay friends, our sisters and our brothers from the lay community, the multi-fold community.' He would always correct the language as he went along, even if it wasn’t written down, to include everybody. And this was such a teaching for us that we want to continue it. We do not want to be a monastic community where the monastics are the privileged ones. Instead, we are all practicing together and all have different capacities and different things that we can offer.” “Thay once shared that his vision is that, one day, we’re all walking in the marketplace and see a monk walking by with peace and grace. And that monk is a bell of mindfulness. You see that monk and you stop and just breathe, connecting back to your spiritual dimension. And then you go on.” “Thay empowered us, each of us, and now we can empower so many other people. And I think it’s a reminder that we don’t need to look for the teachers and what impact they had; instead, we can look at the impact we are having every day, in all the interactions we have, in all the people we meet, in all of the thoughts we have and all the words we speak, in all the actions. We, each of us, are a continuation. And we’re not a continuation to one other person; we’re a continuation to all of life. The way we are present in nature is the way that nature can be present for us. The way that we are available to other people then gives people the opportunity to be available to others.” “Everything Thay did, he always reflected back to the Buddha. The Buddha’s whole way of teaching was also to empower everyone he met, to water the seeds of mindfulness and awakening in every person.”
