Yet people came out by the hundreds.A group of Buddhist monks who had walked all the way from Texas stopped on Saturday at a Ramada Inn in Triangle, Va., about 40 miles from Washington, their final destination. They were swarmed by crowds, just as they had been at nearly every stop along their journey. Many of the people lining their route had been following the monks for months on social media, hooked by their seemingly simple message about blocking out the noise of a messy world and finding tranquillity. The weather, no matter how miserable, would not deter them from catching a glimpse of the monks, swathed in saffron and maroon robes, as they walked by.Kaylee Peters, 44, had left her children with her parents and bundled up so tightly that only a sliver of her face was exposed. She clutched a bouquet of yellow carnations that she had bought at a supermarket \u2014 an offering, she said, to show how grateful she was.\u201cI just want to have a moment of calmness and peace and feeling like I\u2019m enough,\u201d Ms. Peters said, tears collecting behind her sunglasses. She was by no means alone. The \u201cWalk for Peace\u201d started in October in Fort Worth. and if all goes according to plan, the monks will have covered some 2,300 miles once they reach Washington this week. Along the way, they have delivered soft-spoken lectures to anyone who wanted to listen. Interest in their journey intensified as word spread on social media, a reminder of something obvious: that the monks were traversing an unsettled country. Political upheaval, conflicts and humanitarian crises abroad, unaffordable living costs and the unresolved emotional toll of the pandemic had left many feeling exhausted, exasperated and struggling to fend off a sense of helplessness. \u201cDo you see the mess the world is in?\u201d said Donzella Logan, 64, who had traveled by train to the suburbs outside Washington, D.C., from Blairs, Va., near the North Carolina border. The crowds coming out for the monks have transcended racial, religious, economic, educational and geographic lines. The common thread was a belief that the monks were providing comfort. Some found it difficult to articulate why, exactly, the walk had touched them in such a profound way, but it did, offering hope and encouragement that otherwise seemed to be in short supply.\u201cIt\u2019s such a simple thing, just walking,\u201d said Ms. Peters, a nursing educator who lives in Takoma Park, Md. \u201cLook around at all the people it\u2019s touching.\u201d The monk leading the walk, who goes by the name Bhikkhu Pannakara, said in one lecture that the goal was to provide a diversion from whatever was weighing on the people they passed. It would cause them to slow down, he said, \u201cand let go of everything.\u201dThe walkers consist of more than a dozen monks with roots in Vietnam, Thailand and elsewhere and an adopted dog named Aloka, which means \u201clight\u201d in Sanskrit. Aloka has become a celebrity in his own right, recognized for the heart-shaped mark on his forehead. The monks are usually flanked by support vehicles and local law enforcement officers. They stop at houses of worship, government buildings and hotels, and have relied on donations. (The walk\u2019s organizers did not respond to a question about how much had been raised and the plans for the proceeds.)Their journey, which followed a winding path through eight Southern states, has not been easy. The winter has been unusually harsh in the South, leaving the monks to contend with snow and ice in places where it would not normally be expected. In Texas last fall, a driver crashed into the caravan, leaving one monk so severely injured that his leg was amputated. In South Carolina last month, Aloka needed surgery to correct a leg injury before easing back into the walk. Many who came to see the monks in Northern Virginia said they had not only found solace in the monks\u2019 words, but inspiration in their willingness to complete a 2,300-mile journey on foot.\u201cThe sacrifice of walking across several state lines, especially in this weather, is very brave,\u201d said Eros Messick, 24, who had come with a friend to a stop the monks made in Stafford, Va. on Friday evening. \u201cIt takes a lot of resilience.\u201dMs. Logan, who described herself as a Christian, said she was certain that the monks were on a mission chartered by Jesus, even if they were Buddhists sharing ideals rooted in their faith. \u201cWe may not be speaking in the same language, but it adds up to the same thing,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a wake-up call,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s God trying to get his people in order.\u201dA few weekends ago, she drove a few hours to South Carolina in the hope of catching up with the monks. She was too late.On Saturday, Ms. Logan waited on the side of a road in the cold for a couple of hours. There was no way she would miss them again. \u201cJust to be in their presence is a blessing,\u201d she said. She especially wanted to see Aloka. Britani Meadows and her daughter-in-law, Amber Boppre, had been saving money to travel from their home in southwestern Utah to join the monks somewhere along their walk. Originally, they wanted to make a road trip of it, but the monks were moving too fast. They ended up flying from St. George, Utah, to Nashville and driving up to Virginia, arriving in Stafford just after the walk had ended for the day.Everyone had settled outside a government building to hear the monks speak. Some perched themselves atop snow banks for a better view. Bhikkhu Pannakara talked about how pain and setbacks were a part of living, but they should not let that overwhelm them.\u201cI understand suffering, how terrible it is,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been there.\u201dHe asked them to try to create peace in their lives, and then to protect it.After the lecture and a prayer, as the crowd started to clear out, Ms. Meadows lingered, holding a yellow rose that had been handed to her. She had worried she would not make it there that night, and not just because of traffic. Her brother was in the hospital in Utah, in intensive care. She didn\u2019t want to leave him, but her family said to go and bring back blessings.She was surprised, she said, by how deeply the monks\u2019 journey had resonated with her. \u201cIt\u2019s very out of character,\u201d Ms. Meadows, 45, said. \u201cI\u2019m very logical and this is a very illogical thing to do.\u201dBut these were illogical times, she added. \u201cThe world needs to slow down,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople are so angry at everything.\u201d The walk, and watching it, felt like an antidote.Esti Chikirin, an X-ray technician from Woodbridge, Va., said there was something moving in joining the crowd and finding a measure of community. She and Mr. Messick, her friend, helped a woman with limited mobility navigate. They saw others help strangers cross icy streets. \u201cIt\u2019s not every day we\u2019re surrounded by so many people,\u201d she said. \u201cI had issues this week. Someone else probably had issues this week.\u201d\u201cI definitely did,\u201d Mr. Messick replied. \u201cIn my brain, I\u2019m like, thank God I\u2019m here,\u201d Ms. Chikirin said. Usually, she said, her mind is riddled with anxiety, worrying about anything and everything, making even mundane tasks more complicated than they should be. She didn\u2019t feel that now. She felt something like peace.Rick Rojas is the Atlanta bureau chief for The Times, leading coverage of the South.Read 197 commentsShare full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
