"We have to play as a team, starting from today. No more division, no more separation." #WalkForPeace www.wxii12.com/article/budd...

Just as all around so many things happen, loud, quiet, expected or not, good, bad, indifferent, often beyond our control, so it is within. Birth, old age, sickness, death, all this maelstrom of thoughts & feelings, all of it part of this human condition. So breathe. May this be your peaceful day.

Regarding this body as a temple, knowing kinship as a basic truth, one refrains from harming self & others, instead living for the benefit of all beings.

“… as long as there is only genuine gold, people will not doubt its authenticity. When there is both genuine and counterfeit gold, doubts will arise as to what is genuine—all gold becomes doubtful…” #Truth #Dhamma #Buddhism #Resist www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN...

What we do to others, we also do to ourselves.

The #WalkForPeace monks finally made it onto CNN. Inspiring to see so many inspired by #Dhamma in motion. www.cnn.com/2026/01/14/u...

May we find inspiration in good friendship, recognizing those positive qualities that give strength & joy.

Liberation may occur first gradually then suddenly, & so too may ruination.

A helpful #WalkForPeace Q&A. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/a...

Through rote reactivity one mindlessly becomes a slave of circumstances. May we instead find freedom through skillful self control.

Aloka is having surgery. #WalkForPeace

Don’t make reactivity a way of life any more.

“Anyone who is working for peace in the world in a way that is public and sacrificial is standing close to the heart of Jesus, whether or not they share our tradition.” National news coverage is starting. #WalkForPeace apnews.com/article/budd...

This is from the Walk For Peace by the Buddhist Monks

Cultivate beautiful states of mind.

In this moment of pain & difficulty, may we gently bear the weight of it without turning away, understanding that all beings so suffer, radiating compassion & healing for ourselves & everyone else caught up in this mess. #Awareness #Compassion #SelfCare #Buddhism

“This is not the most beautiful place, but that’s what it’s about. It don’t have to be in the most beautiful place to experience peace. You know, this is peace right here.” #WalkForPeace #Truth www.wrdw.com/2026/01/07/m...

Most of an unawakened life may be characterized as unnecessary interference.

“The Buddha taught that self is a phenomenon conditioned by grasping, ultimately empty of enduring essence. It could appear when conditions supported it, lie nascent when they didn’t, ready to spring up at the least provocation, with unfortunate consequences.“ www.buddhistinquiry.org/article/mana...

Gentle is often most powerful, while brutality betrays weakness of the mind.

Whether wealthy or indebted, whether sheltered or homeless, whether healthy or ill, through all of this life, one same breath at a time.

One’s nutriment means another’s death, even if only the worms and insects in the field. Every morsel is a form of suffering, every life-giving food an occasion for deep gratitude and reflection.

Desperately needed something to make me feel better today, so I drew Aloka, the peace pooch. 🐶 You can follow the Buddhist monks and their canine pal on their 2300 mile trek through their website: dhammacetiya.com/walk-for-pea... #walkforpeace #peacewalk #buddhist #peace

“And we have come to understand something beautiful: there is no single way to express love, no prescribed form for peace to take when it moves through a human heart seeking connection.” #WalkForPeace insights. www.theroot.com/heres-the-re...

This body holds the ancient wisdom teachings, impermanent, subject to birth, sickness, old age, death, & after all, is not oneself.

“We can come together by doing something simple. It’s just walking.” #WalkForPeace making an impact. youtu.be/5EpV298GEP0?...

May our minds be inclined to protection in wholesome endeavors. #Dharma #Dhamma

Consequential mistakes, fortunes lost, love betrayed, promises broken; these are ancient and common phenomena, the same old story told over and over. Time to turn the page to peace.

If some people are enthusiastic and bombastic in their celebration of the #WalkForPeace, no use judging. Their joy at encountering the #Dhamma is praiseworthy, in my view, and you can be sure the monks take it all mindfully and compassionately in stride.

Good health is impermanent, so best to try now while health yet endures.

Sweet “Aloka” the Monks dog ❤️ #walkforpeace

One moment at a time, one breath at a time, one step at a time.

Momentum is building for the #WalkForPeace “More than a thousand people braved the windy, cold Monday morning to line the procession route, offering support, snacks and, at times, flowers.” www.fox5atlanta.com/news/monks-p...

“Despite differing viewpoints encountered along the way, the monks have emphasized that the walk is not about politics or religious conversion, but about encouraging reflection, compassion, and unity.” #WalkForPeace www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...

Intellectual knowledge is no match for visceral lived experience.

Wonderful new years message. Thank you for sharing. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu. 🙏🏽📿🪷 #Buddhist #Buddhism #buddhistSky

"Peace and happiness is always with us, but we are always too busy chasing the outside world and materialities... that is the reason why we have forgotten it. We let peace and happiness sleep for so long…. Awaken them.” #WalkForPeace www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/l...
