sacred path
Spiritual journey trail
A sacred path is a spiritual journey or way of life devoted to religious or transcendent goals.
The phrase appears across traditions—Buddhism, Christianity, indigenous spiritualities—to describe both literal pilgrimage routes and metaphorical courses of spiritual development: She found her sacred path through meditation.
The term suggests a calling that demands commitment and shapes one's entire existence.
