Has anyone been following the Buddha Walk of Peace?

[Anonymous]

A group of Buddhist monks are walking from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C. They started about three weeks ago and are expected to arrive in DC in mid-February. The walk is to promote messages of compassion, nonviolence, and community healing. They’re traveling entirely on foot, stopping in each state capitol as they travel, for meditation, prayers, and conversations with local residents. They are relying on donations for food and supplies. There is an escort vehicle that follows them, which I read is currently at full capacity so for now they are not accepting donations. There is a dog traveling with them, Aloka. Aloka was a stray in India, and he followed the monks as they traveled through Asia. One of the monks bonded with Aloka and insisted on bringing him back to the US with him. There was a lot of paperwork and a quarantine period, but they were able to make it happen. Now Aloka is accompanying them on this trip. He is well taken care of, and when he gets tired, he rests in the support vehicle that follows them. At one of their stops, a mobile groomer came and gave Aloka a bath.

Can't wait until they get here. I wonder how Trump will welcome them.

I don't know specifically, but they have done these historically, and yes, all over the world.

Can’t believe these guys can’t find something better to do. Their wives must be pretty miffed. “All day with the prayers! And when you DO get off your butt, you go on a long hike with your buddies? The garage isn’t gonna paint itself! I got your Nirvana right here!”

They should try this in Afghanistan.

They were in Selma Alabama yesterday, and they walked over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. They said prayers and chants for those who lost their lives there, and they released flowers into the river from the bridge as a symbolic offering.

They need to go where the need for peace is the most. A country that is cruel, sadistic, racist, greedy and evil. They are in the right place for their work.
