Nineteen Buddhist monks and their dog are walking across the United States. Amidst a turbulent nation, their steady movements seek peace, compassion, forgiveness, and healing.

“Men are born soft & supple; dead they are stiff & hard. Plants are born tender & pliant; dead, they are brittle & dry. Whoever is stiff & inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft & yielding is a disciple of life. The hard & stiff will be broken. Soft & supple will prevail.”
