Day 17: Walking for Peace

Note: The image above and the text below are both copyright Walk for Peace. I share their statement—and believe this is acceptable—simply to spread their message. If you are not already doing so, I hope you will follow the monks on their remarkable journey. You can do so on Facebook and Instagram.

Walk for Peace is a 120-day, 2,300-mile journey by Buddhist monks — with loyal dog, Aloka — walking
