Venerable Monks Walk For Peace With A Gift Of Hope
Washington DC—The Venerable Monks of the Dhammacetiya arrived in Arlington Monday on their second to last day of crossing through Virginia. Their 2,300 mile “Walk for Peace” which started in Fort Worth, Texas, 107 days ago neared its final destination of Washington, DC, their journey’s end. They will host a peace gathering at the Lincoln Memorial and at the National Cathedral on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thousands have queued along their long trek and waited many hours in bitter cold to watch the 20 monks walk past for a brief moment.
