Two dozen Buddhist monks arrived in Washington D.C. on Tuesday after completing a 3,700km "Walk for Peace" that began over three months ago in Texas. The monks traversed nine states, sometimes barefoot and enduring harsh winter conditions, to raise awareness for peace, loving kindness, and compassion. The journey, described as a spiritual one, drew support from thousands along the way, including individuals who felt compelled to show their support for peace. The monks continued their march despite a severe winter storm that impacted much of the United States. The walk aimed to promote these values across America and the world.
