A group of Buddhist monks is undertaking a months-long walk across the United States, covering more than 2,300 miles on foot in a pilgrimage intended to promote peace, mindfulness and nonviolence.
The journey, known as the Walk for Peace, began in Fort Worth, Texas, in late October 2025 and is expected to conclude in Washington DC in mid-February. Since setting out, the monks have travelled steadily through several southern states, drawing attention from local communities and a growing online audience.
