What is a pilgrimage? In Buddhism, a pilgrimage is a ritual involving lighting incense and then circumambulating the Buddha shrine and stupa. It can also simply mean lighting incense to pay respects before statues of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. Later, the meaning of the word "pilgrimage" expanded considerably; people even used it to refer to cultural tourism, especially trips to historical sites and religious landmarks.
