The walk across Vietnam
On April 1, 2023, Thầy began his journey from Kiên Giang province in the Mekong Delta. This was the first step of the historic pilgrimage.
The journey through Long An — vast rice fields and the intricate canal networks characteristic of the Mekong Delta.
Tens of thousands gather to welcome Thầy in Tiền Giang — a sight unprecedented in history.
Passing through Vietnam's largest city — thousands crowd the streets to follow Thầy's steps through the bustling metropolis.
The journey through Bình Thuận with its red sand dunes and clear coastline — majestic nature as backdrop for the pilgrim's steps.
Returning to Khánh Hòa province — where Thầy received ordination in 2015. A particularly meaningful personal stop on the journey.
Bình Định is famous for traditional martial arts, but Thầy's journey reminds of a different kind of strength — the strength of mind.
Quảng Ngãi — a historic land of resilient people. Thầy stops to share teachings with the local community.
The coastal city of Đà Nẵng — where thousands gathered on the beach to hear Thầy share teachings in the late afternoon.
Hải Vân Pass at 496m — one of the greatest challenges of the journey. Thầy crosses it in rain, alone, with a serene smile.
The ancient capital Huế with its thousand temples — Thầy stays three days, visiting Thiên Mụ Pagoda and sharing with thousands.
The harsh central highlands — Nghệ An welcomes Thầy with drought and Laos winds, but also with the warmest hearts.
Hà Nội — the endpoint of a journey of more than 2000 km. Tens of thousands waited to welcome Thầy, many in tears.
