📌 Public Statement – Transportation Support Request

✅ A Heartfelt Update: A Journey of Kindness
With deep humility and a heart full of joy, we wish to share that within just three hours of sharing our request, the path home for the monks has been beautifully provided for. We are deeply moved and overwhelmed by the many kind responses and the incredible generosity that flowed to us so quickly.

We are happy to share that a donor has come forward to support the transportation needs for the Sangha's return. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this possible and for the outpouring of love that has embraced us today.

(Original post below)

As the Walk For Peace reaches a meaningful milestone in Washington, D.C., the Sangha will conclude this leg of the journey. We plan to arrive in Washington, D.C. around February 10–11, 2026, and will depart around noon on February 12, returning by charter bus to Fort Worth City Hall.

We extend our deepest gratitude to any individual, organization, or sponsor who is willing to provide one charter bus for the venerable monks' return journey from Washington, D.C. to Fort Worth, Texas. Such generosity would help ensure a safe, dignified transition after months of walking in service of peace, compassion, loving-kindness, and mindfulness.

If you are able to sponsor this charter bus transportation or would like to learn more, we warmly invite you to reach out to us via email at: [email protected]

We are sincerely thankful for the kindness and support shown throughout this journey, and we welcome any assistance offered in the same spirit of harmony and goodwill that has carried the Walk For Peace across communities nationwide.

With gratitude and respect,
The Walk For Peace Team 🙏

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

🙌🏽🫂💜Update 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

📍 Important Route Update: Heading to Columbia, SC
We want to share an important update with all of you, with deep gratitude in our hearts. Due to necessary circumstances, we have made a change to our planned route. We will not be walking northeast from Atlanta area through Athens, Georgia as we had originally planned. Instead, we have adjusted our path to head east toward Columbia, South Carolina.

We know that many of you have been waiting to welcome us in Athens and surrounding areas. We are so deeply touched by your eagerness to greet us, to share in this journey, to be part of this walk for peace. Your kindness and anticipation mean the world to us, and we thank you for your understanding as we make this adjustment.

Our overview map has been updated with the best available information about our new path moving forward.

A gentle reminder: Our planned route—both on the daily map and the overview map—can change due to various reasons including weather conditions, safety concerns, logistical needs, and other unforeseen circumstances. We will always update our maps and posts as quickly as possible whenever changes occur.

We are deeply grateful for your understanding, your patience, and your unwavering support. Even though our physical path has changed, our hearts remain connected to all of you who walk with us in spirit.

Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for continuing to walk this journey for peace with us.
May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏💛

Happy New Year 🎆🫂🫶🏽🔐

🙏Gratitude for Every Condition - On this first day of the new year, let us pause to remember something profound: everything and everyone we have encountered has brought us to this very moment.

The easy days that lifted our spirits and made us smile. The difficult times that tested our strength and taught us resilience. The unexpected turns that confused us at first, but later revealed their hidden gifts. All of it—every single condition, every circumstance, every encounter—has been quietly nourishing us, shaping us, guiding us to where we stand today.

We are here because of the kindness of people who became important in our lives. Because of the challenges that forced us to grow. Because of the moments of joy that reminded us of life’s beauty. Because of the moments of struggle that showed us what we’re capable of enduring.

We are here because of both the storms and the sunshine. Because of the people who said yes and the people who said no. Because of what we gained and what we lost. Because of every conversation, every connection, every opportunity given, every lesson learned along the way.

Today, let us offer our deepest gratitude—not only for the conditions that felt like blessings, but also for the ones that felt like burdens, for they too have been our teachers. Not only for the people who supported us, but also for those who challenged us, for they too have been part of our journey.
Every condition in our lives, whether we welcomed it or resisted it, has played its part in bringing us to this new beginning. And for that, may we bow in humble gratitude.

With this gratitude in our hearts, let us send loving-kindness to all beings—to those who have been by our side and those we have never met, to those who brought us joy and those who brought us lessons, to all who share this precious existence with us.

Let us carry this awareness forward—remembering that we are shaped not by single moments, but by the vast web of conditions that connect us all, nourish us all, and make us who we are.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.
