Almost two dozen monks from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth, TX, are walking 2,300 miles to promote national healing, unity & compassion. Their trek began on Oct. 26, 20025 & is expected to end on Feb. 12, 2026. Bhikkhu Pannakara, spiritual leader of the Walk for Peace, said, "We walk not to protest, but to awaken the peace that already lives within each of us."
-20 degrees C, oh my, if it were like that in Istanbul, life would stop. You're used to it, although there are places in Türkiye that get -52 degrees, but thankfully Istanbul only got -2 degrees C this year.
