Monks’ Epic Walk for Peace Hits a Bumpy Road

Buddhist monks are literally walking the walk for peace—trekking 2,300 miles from Texas to D.C.! After 60+ days and five states, their feet are feeling it. In Georgia, medical staff jumped in to treat calluses and sore muscles, and the support from locals has been unreal. Even a serious accident couldn’t stop their mission. This journey is all about spreading kindness, and America is showing up to cheer them on! #Religion #WalkForPeace #BuddhistMonks
