WASHINGTON: Dressed in burnt-orange robes, around two dozen Buddhist monks reached Washington, D.C., on Tuesday (Feb 10) as part of a 2,300-mile “Walk for Peace”, a spiritual trek spanning nine states that has drawn cheering crowds along the route.
At a stop in Richmond, Virginia, on Feb 3, 74-year-old Bob Anderson said he felt compelled to show up. “With everything going on in our country and our world, you have to back peace in every way you can,” he said. “This felt like a good way to do that.”
