Across the Country in Peace In a world inundated with polycrises, a group of unassuming monks is bringing light and harmony to communities across America, simply through their presence. Walking from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington DC, the journey for these Buddhist monks isn't about religion; it's a demonstration of peace in action. As they walk 2,300 miles through various towns, they’re not just talking about peace — they're living it. One on-looker, Cindy Bernhardt, who was moved to tears, remarked that the monks were living examples of how "peace really does start with us." "I've never seen anything like it. I have shot so many parades. I've shot so many NASCAR races, concerts where emotions are big," said photographer Michael Anderson, "The outpouring of support, the love." Beyond the 19 monks who began the pilgrimage, the Walk for Peace has galvanized everyday people in communities across the country to come together to support and volunteer in the spirit of compassion. Physician's assistant Bowie Tran remarked, "It was so beautiful to see people from all walks of life, getting together, volunteering for a really good cause. Something simple... like a walk, yet it brings tons of us together to experience it." | Be The Change Take a moment today to practice mindfulness, and focus on finding peace within yourself. Then, share that peace with others in your community. | |
