About this event

Come walk and pray for peace in solidarity with the monks from the Houng Dao Vipessana Bahavna Center, as they continue their Pilgrimage for Peace from Fort Worth, TX to Washington, D.C.  This local prayer walk will be led by JUN-SAN, Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Nun from the Peace Pagoda (Grafton, NY).

Leaving their temple to walk 2,300 miles in prayer indicates how serious these Vietnamese monks know our current situation to be, as this action is a very rare occurrence for them.  Please note:  this Walk for Peace is not a protest, but rather a prayer vigil to promote the Peace of Compassion, Healing, and Unity.

Meet at 12noon at Saratoga Spring's downtown U.S. Post Office, corner of Broadway and Church Street. Our hour-long prayer walk will progress along our city's streets.  Post-walk gathering for shared reflection: TBD.

SPONSORED BY: Grafton Peace Pagoda, Saratoga Peace Alliance, and Our Lodge Foundation's Saratoga B.R.A.V.E.

COST: Free.
