- SACREDSITES: Take a
virtual pilgrimage to the geographic spiritual centers of the world.
- Martin Gray of Sedona, Arizona and at large somehere on earth presents an
outstanding
- website, "Places of Peace and Power ( WWW.SACREDSITES.COM) is an extensive web-site
- dedicated to the study of sacred sites and pilgrimage traditions around the
world. The
- web-site has recently been updated to include many photographs and writings
from his
- recent year-long pilgrimage to 120 sacred sites in fourteen countries of
Latin America.

Vipassana.com
exists to disseminate information about Theravada Buddhism.
- Theravada Buddhism is most often found in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Burma
(Myanmar),
- Cambodia, and Laos, and is based on the texts of the Pali Canon associated
with
- Gotama Buddha who lived in the 6th Century BCE.
-
- Westerners are increasingly being drawn to explore this oldest surviving
form of
- Buddhism, and it is hoped that this site will prove useful to them. We see
vipassana
- meditation as being an integral part of Theravada Buddhism, supported by
the
- tradition and (for most people) not usefully separable from it.
