Did you hear about this? Probably you did, and are one of the two and a half million following it on Facebook, or the one and a half million following on Instagram. By now it's nearly concluded, but it has been a very beautiful peace testimony.
Twenty-four monks, and a dog called Aloka, connected to the Huong Dao Temple in Fort Worth in Texas have been walking 2,300 miles through the United States, passing through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the through the Carolinas and Virginia to finish up in Washington DC. They began in the last week of October, and they expect to arrive in Washington on February 10th.
The purpose of the Walk for Peace is to promote the buddhist values of peace, compassion and non-violence.
What a lovely thing.
The video below is a song arising from the Walk for Peace and expressing its values.
