A group of Buddhist monks, currently midway through a 2,300-mile (3,700-kilometre) peace walk across the United States, are preparing to resume their journey. This follows a crash near Houston that left two of their members injured, a spokesperson for the group confirmed on Thursday.
The 'Walk for Peace' group, consisting of about two dozen monks, began their 26 October journey from Fort Worth, Texas. Their mission is to 'raise awareness of peace, loving kindness, and compassion across America and the world', with plans to traverse 10 states en route to Washington, D.C.
