  Middle Land, Middle Way: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Buddha's India
  
  by Ven. S. Dhammika
  
  
  
  Just before the Buddha attained final Nirvana he urged his disciples 
  to visit, at least once in their lives, the places where the most 
  important events in his career occurred. In the centuries since then 
  pilgrims from all over the Buddhist world have endured danger and 
  hardship to come to India to see the places made sacred by the 
  Buddha's presence. //Middle Land, Middle Way// is the first 
  comprehensive guidebook for the modern Buddhist wishing to undertake a 
  pilgrimage. In the introduction the author gives an inspiring account 
  of the significance and history of pilgrimage in Buddhism, as well as 
  the biographies of famous pilgrims of the past. Then sixteen places 
  are covered, the Buddha's association with each place, their 
  subsequent history and a detailed and informative description of the 
  monuments found there. With maps and color photos //Middle Land, 
  Middle Way// is an essential companion for both the pilgrim and the 
  general traveler.
