๐Ÿ“Œ Book Update: First Batch Shipping Out โ€” June 10, 2026

We are delighted to announce that we are officially preparing to ship the first batch of our book, The Footsteps of a Buddhist Monk. This initial release is dedicated to everyone who submitted a request during the Walk for Peace journey in the United States prior to Februaryโ€“March 2026.

Written by Venerable Bhikkhu Paรฑรฑฤkฤra, this book beautifully chronicles his profound journey alongside the venerable monks and Aloka through India and Nepal between 2022 and 2023. It was during this very pilgrimage that the seeds of peace were planted, eventually growing into the Walk for Peace across America.

Our team is currently managing approximately 2,000 pending requests. The first batch of 180 books will be shipped out today, and we are working diligently to process all remaining requests as quickly and smoothly as possible.

If your request is part of this initial batch, we have already sent an email with detailed instructions to your inbox. Please look for an email from [email protected] and kindly follow the steps provided in that email to receive your copy.

For everyone who is not included in this first list, we kindly ask that you wait for our next update, which we will share as soon as we finish fulfilling the current list.

We extend our deepest gratitude for your incredible patience and understanding. As we are operating with limited resources to process and package every order by hand, we sincerely appreciate your continued support while we work through the remaining requests with the utmost care and dedication.

Thank you for your warmth, your encouragement, and for continuing to walk this beautiful path of peace with us.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. ๐Ÿ™

โ˜€๏ธ Good morning, everyone! This morning comes with gentle grace, to meet us in our inner space. We breathe in peace, we breathe out care, and plant our kindness everywhere. Through hours that stretch from dawn to dusk, in mindfulness we place our trust. One seed of peace at break of day, becomes the light that guides our way.

Today is going to be our peaceful day.
May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. ๐Ÿ™โœจ

๐Ÿ€ Being tolerant with others is the best medicine for our own hearts. An open heart is where peace lives and grows. When we can hold space for othersโ€™ humanness, weโ€™re also holding space for our own. When we forgive their mistakes, we learn to forgive ourselves. This openness heals us from the inside out.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. ๐Ÿ™โœจ

๐ŸŽต Ehipassiko Peace Walk โ€” "Come and See" | The Sri Lanka Peace Walk Song

We are deeply honored and moved to share this beautiful song, which was specially created by Sri Lanka to welcome and pave the way for our walking journey there from April 21โ€“28, 2026โ€”the "Ehipassiko" Peace Walk.

Ehipassiko is a profound Pali word meaning "Come and See." It is not a command or a demand; rather, it is a sincere, warm, and open-hearted invitation. It welcomes everyone to come, witness, and discover for themselves the timeless message of peace that lives within this journey. It is a gentle reminder to look inward and touch the peace that already exists within each of our hearts.

This official music video was thoughtfully produced by the Presidential Media Division of Sri Lanka, offering a stunning, retrospective look at our peaceful steps across this sacred land.

We extend our deepest and most profound gratitude to the Government of Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan Saแน…gha, and the beautiful people of Sri Lanka for their extraordinary hospitalityโ€”and for this precious gift of music and memory that allows us to relive this path of peace.

May this song continue to carry the universal spirit of peace, mindfulness, and loving-kindness to every heart that hears it.

Ehipassiko โ€” Come and see.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. ๐Ÿ™โœจ
