The Washington National Cathedral invited Buddhist Monks who were Walking for Peace to the cathedral at the end of their journey. The Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde and The Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith welcomed the monks along with interfaith leaders from across DC near and far to the Cathedral for a moment of peace, mindfulness, and interfaith unity. The monks were grateful to be received with such grace, generosity, and open hearts. Thousands gathered together—in person and in spirit—united in the spirit of peace across all traditions and backgrounds.
From the monks: "Thank you to The Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde and The Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith for your leadership, your vision, and your commitment to bringing people together for peace. Thank you to Washington National Cathedral for opening your doors and your hearts to this mission. This was a moment we will carry in our hearts forever."
