“Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.”

Walk For Peace RVA

Saturday June 27, 2026

The Story​

The monks began the Walk for Peace. We are continuing it.

Buddhist Monks​​

A group of monks set off from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth, Texas on a 2,300 mile trek to Washington D.C to spread the message of peace.

You​​

Thousands came out from the Richmond, Virginia area to walk for peace. But one day is not enough. Sustained peace is an ongoing commitment. Let’s continue what the monks started.

When you make peace with yourself, you make peace with the world.

Will You Attend?​

Peace is sustained when each of us commits to removing our anger, competition, jealousy, hurt, and aggression from the collective. Will you commit?
