Will the Monks Walking for Peace Arrive in Washington D.C. Today?


Didn’t the Indian legend say, “In times of trouble, I will send a comforter?”

 

Look what came. 

 


 

 

 
Nineteen monks and one dog set out to walk 2,300 miles for peace. They began in Fort Worth Texas on October 26, 2025, and it looks like they might arrive in Washington DC tomorrow, that will be February 10, 2026. That is some 107 days of walking, many days barefoot, averaging about 20 miles a day.

 

  

 

The Buddhist monks are fanning alive the spark that has existed in us all along. They offer flowers. They stop occasionally to say a prayer, pat a child, or tie a twine Peace bracelet around someone’s wrist.

 

People by the thousands are coming, bundled up in the snow and freezing cold, to stand by the roadsides to welcome them, to give them fruit or flowers, to say, “Welcome to our city, to say, “ Thank you.”
