The Monks’ Walk for Universal Peace made its historic arrival in D.C. today, passing by the National Cathedral after a journey that began months ago in Fort Worth, Texas. Their mission isn’t just about “raising awareness,” it’s about “unlocking the box” of peace that already exists within us. Using mindfulness as their key, the monks reminded us that peace isn’t something to be found in the distance, but in the simplicity of each breath going in and out. As they told the large crowd gathered outside the National Cathedral, this practice isn’t tied to any one religion; it’s a universal tool for every being to help make the world a better place.
