As an annual fundraising event, the community of the Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada collaborated with Atisha Buddhist Centre participated in a Walk for World Peace in High Park, Toronto. The purpose of the walk was to raise funds in support of the International Temples Project. Before setting out, everyone gathered to receive spiritual advice from Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Chodor, who encouraged participants to connect each step taken outwardly with camaraderie and inwardly with Mahayana prayers and mantra recitations.
Despite the challenging weather conditions, over 50 members and their families attended. With careful hydration, frequent rest breaks, and thoughtfully chosen routes, everyone made it to the finishing stretch—where they cheered for Kelsang Lochani, who, at age 90, kept her promise to participate with the help of her walker. It was a joyful and successful event, capped off with a delicious, picnic-perfect finish for everyone!
