The city of Columbia welcomed Buddhist monks who are walking for peace on a long journey from Texas to Washington D.C.. Their quiet presence drew people from many backgrounds, gathering not for debate, but to witness a shared desire for peace, compassion, and hope.
Among those greeting the monks was Father Linsky, standing alongside community members in a spirit of respect. The moment reflected unity without compromise, showing how people of different beliefs can meet peacefully while still holding firm to their own faith.
For many Christians present, the gathering served as a reminder that peace ultimately flows from God. While the monks continue their journey, believers are reminded to pray, choose faith, and seek the peace that only God can fully give.
