Monks walk for peace across U.S. toward Washington


A group of 19 Buddhist monks passed through Atlanta as part of their cross-country Walk for Peace to Washington, drawing thousands of supporters along the route. 

The monks, who have been documenting their journey online, are walking thousands of miles to promote unity, compassion, and nonviolence. 

One of the monks lost a leg in a horrific accident towards the beginning of the walk but rejoined the walk again on 12/29/25 in Atlanta with the rest of the monks. 

FOX 5’s Doug Evans joined the group as they moved through the city, where community members gathered to walk alongside them and show support for their message of peace.
