24 monks walked 2,300 miles, 180 day, from Texas to DC for peace—dressed in saffron robes & often barefoot, they crossed ice & snow. One lost his leg but returned in a wheelchair. Dog Aloka (“divine light”) walked beside them. Link
“We are here for just one mission: peace for ourselves, our country, & the universe. We all believe different faiths & have different mindsets, but all religions teach how to purify our minds & become good in society. Ultimately, they teach us to return to one religion: peace, love, kindness, and compassion.” - Bhikkhu Pannakara
