The Walk for Peace: Buddhist Monks Walking 2,300 Miles Across America

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I share honestly about a rough, grief-filled start to 2026 and how I’m leaning on my spiritual practice and the principle of non-violence (Ahimsa) to stay grounded when the world feels like a total shit show. I talk about the group of Buddhist monks walking 2,300 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. on the Walk for Peace USA. I share a little bit about who they are, why they’re walking, and how their quiet, steady presence has become a powerful symbol of peace, unity, mindfulness, and compassion in our deeply divided country. I also share a simple daily spiritual practice from the leader of the monks, the Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara who encourages us to write, read, and repeat, “Today is going to be my peaceful day.” And how we can each have our own “walk for peace” right where we are: in our homes, relationships, communities, and even online. If you’ve been feeling angry, heartbroken, or hopeless about the state of the world, this episode is an invitation to remember that every moment you choose peace, you help to create more peace in the world. 🔔 Please subscribe for more episodes on spirituality, healing, mindset, and no BS practical wisdom. 🎧 Listen to the full podcast: https://www.karenkenney.com/podcast/t...
