Is anyone else following the Buddhist monks' Walk For Peace? [View all]

I am (it's on Facebook, but doubtless elsewhere, too) and I'm so inspired by it. I'm Christian, but I really love this. And they are accompanied by a formerly stray dog from India who was injured along the way and is now being rehabbed in NC. The dog is adorable. The monks are walking from Fort Worth to DC to raise awareness of the need for peace without and within.
