Myoshin and other members of the Tergar community traveled to Nepal and Tibet as a part of a larger pilgrimage focused around exploring the feminine within Himalayan Buddhism. They traveled to visit a number of female teachers, and visited sites where female practitioners have practiced. Myoshin and three of the other pilgrims from Minneapolis share their journey through photos, reflections, and stories of their time.

Special thanks to The Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism, which provided partial funding for the planning phase of the pilgrimage.
