I'm registering for the 16-day tour of early Buddhist sites in India in January 2020 that will be co-led by Stephen Batchelor and Shantum Seth. I'm wondering if any members of SBA will be on board with me. Spending two weeks with these two wonderful teachers is high on my bucket list. In 2016 I joined 30 people for the traditional Buddhist pilgrimage led by Shantum Seth, visiting where the Buddha was born, enlightened, taught, and died. It was the trip of a lifetime, and it gave me perspective on how secular Buddhism relates to the devotional flavors of Buddhism. Shantum Seth is a dharma teacher ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh, whom I consider a secular Buddhist. If you're making the January trip, please contact me directly. See you in Mumbai
