They are warriors for peace

Probably most everybody has heard of the Buddahist monks walking across America for peace. They truly are the good guys. They are walking through communities that most likely know very little about folks who wear orange robes and advocate for peace. I love seeing the videos of them sharing their evening meal in small town America's parks with small town America people.
I was saddened to see that somebody ran into them and caused one monk to lose his leg. And the van that travels with them was totaled. A man heard about their vehicle being damaged and donated a vehicle to them.
The monks are walking over 2 thousand miles, heading to Washington D.C. May our Creator go with them on that long trek. Wet, dry, cold,windy, they march.

I actually read an article about the monks walking for peace not long ago. They are walking from October until the end of February, if my memory serves me right. I hadn't heard about the monk losing his leg, how terrible for him. May they have a safe journey, and touch some hearts along the way.

I wish they were coming through Illinois, but they aren't.

Oh my! So careless of that driver.
I have always had respect for real monks.

@Dreamerby I hope it was just a horrific accident and not intentional.

No, I hadn't heard about this before but I've looked up news stories about them/their trek now. I hope they make it without any more problems.

@DaddyEvil They are so brave. They're really putting their faith to the test.
