Washington: The pilgrimage for peace has reached its destination in Washington, D.C. A Buddhist monks' peace pilgrimage in the United States has arrived at its destination in Washington, D.C., in the "Walk for Peace" event.

According to Thai News Agency, a group of monks has arrived in Washington, D.C., after a 108-day cross-country journey aimed at promoting inner peace, mindfulness, and global harmony. Led by Bhikkhu Panyaka, the journey began on October 26, 2025, in Fort Worth, Texas. The monks described the project as: "We are walking, not to draw attention to ourselves, but to raise awareness about peace. When we started, we only had 1,000 peace bracelets, but now we have distributed more than 100,000."

The final activity of the peace walk will be an appearance at the Washington National Cathedral and the Lincoln Memorial. The Bishop of Washington Episcopal, who will host an interfaith reception, said, 'This long journey has reassured us all of ourselves to act with compassion and work for peace in our communities.'

Nineteen monks began a 3,700-kilometer journey from a Vietnamese Buddhist temple in Fort Worth, Texas, on October 26, 2025. Their feat has sparked a wave of spiritual dedication among Americans, encouraging them to live peacefully through action, rather than engaging in political activism or advocacy. The monks will return to Texas by car, expected to arrive in Fort Worth on the morning of February 14.
