Monks Walk for Peace: Walking From Within
What happens when silence walks through noise?
Monks Walk for Peace is a contemplative journey that follows Buddhist monks as they walk—step by step—through a divided world. Moving through forests, cities, and the heart of Washington, D.C., they walk without protest, without demand, and without argument. Their message is carried not by words, but by presence.
Rooted in the Buddha’s teaching that everything begins in the mind, this book explores a simple but powerful if the mind is unsettled, the heart follows; if the mind is trained with care, peace naturally emerges.
Alongside the walk, the author reflects on lived experiences of survival, displacement, anger, restraint, and reconciliation. These reflections are woven gently with timeless teachings on mindfulness, attachment, compassion, and inner discipline. The result is not a religious instruction manual, but an invitation—to slow down, to observe one’s own reactions, and to choose responsibility over reflex.
As monks walk forward, people of many faiths walk beside them—Christians, Muslims, believers, doubters—some in support, some in opposition. The contrast reveals a deeper peace does not require agreement, only restraint.

peace without denial of suffering
spirituality without preaching
