Please Join for a collective walk in peace and silence with the monastics of Deer Park Monastery in downtown Los Angeles. In the spirit of our teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, each of our peaceful steps generates a collective energy that goes out into the world. Together we hold and acknowledge the suffering in the escalating violence and loss of life in over 100 wars and armed conflicts worldwide, including in Palestine, Israel, Sudan, Ukraine, and Myanmar. We generate compassion for the victims of discrimination, hatred, and violence, and also for the perpetrators who are also victims of their own pride, fear, and wrong perceptions.
Bring a mat for sitting on the grass, sun protection, a packed vegan/vegetarian lunch, and water. Following the walk, the monastics will offer a chant to send our collective energy of compassion out to all the zones of armed conflict worldwide.
To reflect the vigil and contemplative nature of this event, we ask you not to bring any banners, flags, or placards. You are enough.
