In a time when fear and outrage feel increasingly normalized, a small group of Theravāda Buddhist monks is walking 2,300 miles from Texas to Washington, D.C., sharing a message of peace, loving-kindness, and compassion. They aren’t selling anything or making grand statements. They’re simply walking, day after day, reminding us that peace begins with presence, intention, and care. Their walk draws from the ancient tudong tradition, where walking itself becomes a form of spiritual training. It’s a quiet invitation to practice more kindness, steadiness, and goodwill in our own lives.
