Buddhist monks have already completed an extraordinary stretch of their peace walk, traveling on foot through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Mile by mile, their quiet journey has crossed cities, small towns, and rural highways, where people from all backgrounds have stopped to offer water, food, prayers, and simple words of encouragement.
Their walk carries no politics, no religious promotion, and no demands. Instead, it reflects discipline, humility, and a steady commitment to nonviolence and compassion. As they move forward, their presence has drawn international attention, not because of spectacle, but because of the rare simplicity of their mission—choosing peace through action rather than words.
As the monks continue northward across the United States, their journey stands as a reminder that unity does not require agreement, only humanity. In a divided world, their footsteps echo a timeless message: peace begins when people choose it, one step at a time.
