We walk not protest, but to awaken the peace that already exists in our inner mind.

Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara who is the leader of the Walk for Peace, once stated “We walk not to protest, but to awaken the peace that already lives within each of us. The walk for peace is a simple yet meaningful reminder that unity and kindness begin within each of us and can radiate outward to families, communities, and society as a whole.” Walk for Peace invites all people, regardless of faith, culture or background to come together in the spirit of compassion, mutual respect and understanding. Walking itself cannot create peace, but it can awaken peace that exists within us. The Walk for Peace initiative, led by Buddhist monks as Bhikkhu Pannakara is the leader, aim to foster inner peace and compassion by walking across the U.S., engaging with communities and inviting others to simply reflect on their own inner peace, inspiring and nurturing within individuals and communities. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
