Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowMonks walk for peace draws Trilith’s biggest crowdMore than a thousand people bundled up and lined the streets near Trilith Studios to welcome Buddhist monks on their cross-country peace walk—making it their largest crowd yet. These monks, joined by their rescue dog Aloka, are walking from Texas to Washington, D.C., spreading messages of peace, healing, and mindfulness. Locals described the moment as deeply moving, comparing it to the Civil Rights Movement and saying it brought a much-needed sense of unity and hope. Would you have braved the cold to join them?
