Steppps – Friedenspilgern

Walking troubles I ended up this day with 27km. I really did not want it. Just to far. After Samera I took my new flipflops on. Some km later I switched again to the old ones. At the end of the day I had again some blisters, but at some more ‚comfortable place‘, I could […]

Pure joy I started walking barefoot when I left Aloks house. I met such nice people in the way to Samera. Several invited me for food.  But I just had breakfast at Aloks house. One young man, I think, that he said he was just 17, still student, he really impressed me. First he invited […]

Police During my stay in Aloks house, Alok had some trouble with his neighbor. The neighbor is constucting a house just at the property border line. On the first floor he planed to extend the roof further out, ignoring the fact, that this is not his property. Everything was on the way to get cemented […]

Still in Barbigha I understand that I should continue walking barefoot. Nevertheless I got other slippers, a bit softer, only a relativ small size…. but let’s hope this pair is better. Alok gave me a great – again – relaxing time in his home. My next ‚exit Visa‘ is approved until 31.7. (only). With a […]

I took the chance on my pause day in Bihar Sharif to buy some new flipflops. And the rest took some fruits. My body felt so much better when I woke up next morning. With my new flipflops and a stronger body I walk east out of town. During the way, at midday, I feel, […]

I managed the only 12 km the second day. But…. After 3 1/2 month meditating and resting the walk is another story. My mussles and all my walking system is hurting. To carry the backpack… it feels also very heavy. … as I said,  just another story. I even got some blisters at my toes. […]

First way walking after 3 1/2 month was quite fun. But I walked only 12km to adjust myself to the situations. (So today I walked 0,5% of the rest of the way to Myanmar/Yangoon-2.500km) Some people on the road quite friendly. Some a bit afraid. I reached Nalanda. Today I stay in a OYO hotel. […]

5 days ago I left the ‚protective bubble‘ of the Vipassana center, where I stayed for the last 3 1/2 month. On the way back to Bihar/Rajgir to continue the peace walk. First everything went somehow normal to Indian standards. From a tuktuk to a bus, another bus and a bus to Gorakpur. Already a […]

Dear Friends. Slowly and now continuously, finally more strongly there is coming a clear energy towards starting to walk again. Lockdown in India has passed. Since 12 days travelling without permission is allowed again. But not all trains are running again. And people partly follow the social distancing rules, but another part does not care […]

8 YEARS!!!!!! Today Steppps Peace Walk ???❤? I walked until now to Bodhgaya, Buddha’s place of Enlightenment – and 70 km further northeast to Rajgir, where Buddha meditated in different caves. Now there is a beautiful Peace stupa build. Around 21.500km are walked. 2.500km are still to come until Yangoon in Myanmar. Now I face […]
