Commending the Walk for Peace.
AI Summary
This resolution commends the Walk for Peace, a 2,300-mile spiritual and patriotic pilgrimage undertaken by 19 Buddhist monks, led by Bhikkhu Pannakara, from Texas to Washington D.C. to spread a message of kindness, harmony, and nonviolence. The resolution highlights that this journey, which inspires communities and serves as a reminder that peace starts individually and extends outward, embodies Buddhist values of wisdom, compassion, and mindfulness, as well as American principles of unity and respect. It also acknowledges the walk's open invitation for people of all backgrounds to join in fostering greater compassion and understanding, and expresses admiration for its mission to promote unity, healing, and peace throughout the Commonwealth and the nation.
