In October
2025, approximately two dozen Buddhist monks initiated a Walk for Peace through
ten states from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C.
A dog named Aloka, meaning
“light,” accompanies them. Folks watch them pass, and the monks stop to
greet people.
While still in Texas, two monks were injured in a vehicular
accident. One’s wounds were not severe, but the group’s leader decided to have his
leg amputated to begin healing rather than face lengthy surgeries. The monks
determined to continue walking.
One monk said, “suffering is part of life, but so
is compassion, resilience, and the path forward.”
