We are living in extraordinary times!

There is a group of Buddhist Monks, along with a stray dog, Aloka, who followed them on a similar pilgrimage in India, from the Huong Dao Vipassana Center in Ft. Worth Texas who are walking to promote Peace, Compassion and Non-Violence.

Their 2,300 mile journey started on October 26, 2025 and will end in Washington DC around the middle of February 2026.

You can follow their journey on Facebook@walkforpeaceusa

Buddhism is a philosophy and religion that offers a path to end suffering by understanding its causes and following the Noble Eightfold Path to reach Nirvana.

I am lucky to live near many different religious temples, mosques, monasteries, and houses of worship that i have visited and attended events at.

it's important that we educate ourselves and have an Open Heart and Mind in an effort to expose ourselves to diversity of thought and religion.
