This collection of letters was written by two American Buddhist monks, Reverend Heng Sure and Bhikshu Heng Ch'au, during their two-and-a-half year pilgrimage for world peace along the California coast from 1977 to 1979. Bowing to the ground after every three steps, in the manner of early Buddhist pilgrims in China, they slowly made their way north, up the coast, from East Los Angeles, following Pacific Coast Highway to Mendocino County and the newly established City of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Going at a pace of a mile of day, they bowed, studied, and wrote letters chronicling their experiences to their teacher, Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua.
