...Buddhist monks from Fort Worth, Texas, are walking on a 2,300-mile, 110-day pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., to promote peace, unity and kindness.
They left Oct. 26 from their Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center.
“We walk not in protest, but to remind Americans that peace is not a destination. It is a practice. And that peace resides within each of us,” Bhikkhu Pannakara, spiritual leader of the Walk for Peace, said in Natchez.
“The walk is a reminder that unity and kindness begins within each of us and can radiate outward to communities, families and society as a whole,” he said.
