When the Pilgrims arrived in New England, they decided they needed to make an agreement on how issues would be settled and the colony would be run. After two long months at sea, the Pilgrims finally reached land.īy Jean Leon Gerome Ferris Mayflower Compact At one point, they considered turning back, but decided to stick it out. Storms also hit the ship very hard causing one of the main beams to crack. They ran out of fresh water and many people became sick. The extra people on the ship made the trip even worse. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean was long and difficult. In addition to the 102 passengers, there were between 25 and 30 crewmen onboard the ship.
They managed to fit 102 total passengers on the Mayflower, but they had to leave 20 of the original Speedwell passengers behind. Once back at port, they crowded as many of the passengers as possible onto the Mayflower and set sail once again for America on September 6, 1620. However, not long after leaving England, the Speedwell began to leak and the Pilgrims had to return to port. The Pilgrims initially set sail aboard two ships the Speedwell and the Mayflower. Other Pilgrims were hoping to find adventure or a better life in the New World. They were not allowed to do this in England where they were persecuted and sometimes put in jail for their beliefs.

A magnificent and time-stopping work, The Path to Buddha is divided into five parts, in which we see the monks in animated discussion, meditation and prayer and we follow the devout believers on their arduous journeys to prayer. Buddhism permeates every aspect of a Tibetan's life, whether living in Tibet or in exile in Nepal, India or the United States. Due to the strength of Tibetan faith in Buddha, in the Dalai Lama, and against the odds, many buildings have been reconstructed, their devotion and belief remain extraordinarily strong. Occupied in 1950, Red Guards destroyed thousands of official buildings and holy places during the Cultural Revolution, and religious freedom and traditional education are still severely under threat.
