'Walk for Peace' is currently underway across the United States, led by a devoted group of Vietnamese Buddhist monks from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Centre in Fort Worth, Texas. This sacred pilgrimage began on 26 October 2025 and is scheduled to conclude in Washington, D.C., in early 2026, covering roughly 2,300 miles (about 3,700 kilometres). As they pass through towns, cities, and open landscapes, they carry a simple yet powerful message of peace, compassion, loving-kindness, and mindfulness.
They walk slowly and with great presence, often in silence, embodying the peace they wish to see in the world. Their journey is not political; it arises from Buddhist teachings that emphasise compassionate awareness and inner peace as the true foundation for harmony within families, communities, and nations. Along the way, they pause to meet people, offer small blessings such as handmade bracelets, and walk in the gentle company of Aloka, a rescued dog who has become a much-loved and symbolic companion on their path.
