Monks Conclude Peace Walk

No doubt many of you had been following the Buddhist monks “Walk for Peace” since they began their pilgrimage in Texas, October 2025. They walked daily for 15 weeks/108 days/2300 miles.
They reached their final destination in Washington D.C. on February 10. After arriving in the US Capital, the monks visited the Washington National Cathedral where they attended an interfaith service. The next day, they made a stop at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial where they gave thanks to all of their supporters along the way, and delivered a final meditative message that the world needs to hear.
Upon an internet search, you will find hundreds of photos, videos and articles from many sources throughout their journey. Find these when you need a “pick me up.” You will be glad you did!
