YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

By the time the Walk for Peace arrived in D.C., 108 days and 2,300 miles after leaving Fort Worth, it had become a social media phenomenon and an unexpected inspirational tether for millions who followed the Buddhist monks’ trek online and the tens of thousands of people across eight states who greeted them along the way.
