While the #Buddhist monks were busy waking up, having breakfast, and getting ready for the day, Aloka had his own peaceful morning. He stayed tucked up in his blanket, his favorite way to start the day before walking with the venerable monks. May all beings be well, happy and at peace #WalkForPeace

Tudong (from Thai Thudong derived from Pāli Dhutaṅga) refers to austere practices undertaken by Buddhist monks who travel on foot. Dhutaṅga translates as ‘means of shaking off’ Dhammayatra (pilgrimage of Dhamma) is a peaceful walking practice rooted in this tradition #WalkForPeace #Buddhism #walking

It's been a good year for me. I'm alive, healthy and I'm calm. I'm thankful to continue to practice as a Buddhist, have a roof over my head, food on the table & to have had my book Thai Tattoo #Magick published. I wish everyone a #HappyNewYear. May you find peace, health & happiness in your lives 🙏🪷

The Wat Lao Buddha Khanti of Atlanta have just posted guidelines for Buddhist Etiquette regarding interacting with Buddhist monks on the #WalkForPeace. These guidelines are not sexist or discriminatory. Theravāda Buddhism has certain requirements which focus on mindfulness & one's personal conduct 🙏

The Loud and The Silence is probably one of the most beautiful things I've read during this important and historic #WalkForPeace 🙏🪷🙏

The #WalkForPeace is not about God. The walk for peace is not about politics. #Buddhism is non-theistic and non-political. To quote their Facebook page this walk is "...to raise awareness of #peace, loving #kindness and #compassion across America and the world." 🙏

A careless person
Quoting much of the scriptural text
But not living it,
Cannot share the abundance of the holy life,
Just as the cowherd counting other people's cattle,
Cannot taste the milk or ghee.
- The Dhammapada, translation Ananda Maitreya.

When I began receiving Sak Yant tattoos I had no idea where it would all end. Some of the Sak Yant tattoos I received were "diagnosed". Ajarns or spiritual teachers had visions of what they saw on my body. Trust you are on a journey. This is the beginning. The pathway you now walk is the right one 🙏
