FAQ
Common questions from our community.
How can I track the daily progress?
We provide two map options. The Live Map tracks specific movements and stops for the current day. The Overview Map shows the complete trajectory of the pilgrimage and future estimates. Please check the "Maps" section above.
What is the best way to donate or offer support?
We deeply appreciate your kindness. You can find full details on how to make monetary contributions or offer specific services on our Support Page. Material donations (like food) should be coordinated through the forms provided there.
How can I receive a Blessing Cord?
The blessing cord is a free gift of mindfulness and peace given personally by the Venerable Monks to those they meet along the road. We do not sell these items, nor can we ship them by mail. It is a moment of connection meant to be experienced in person.
Why do some monks walk without shoes?
Rest assured, the group (including our dog companion, Aloka) is fully equipped with shoes, clothing, and safety gear for all terrains. If you see a monk walking barefoot, it is a personal choice made as part of their spiritual practice. They wear shoes whenever safety or weather requires it.
Who should I contact for press or logistics?
We have specific coordinators for media, food, and general events. Please refer to the Support Page for a full list of phone numbers and contact details.
