Large show of support in North Carolina for Buddhist monks

  • In Charlotte, a large local crowd welcomed the peace walkers as of Wednesday, Jan. 14, with hundreds of local supporters greeting a dozen Buddhist monks from the Dhammacetiya, Fort Worth, Texas.
  • The Walk For Peace began Oct. 26, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas, covers 2,300 miles toward Washington, D.C., and organizers say it promotes mindfulness, healing, and asks Congress to recognize Buddha's day.
  • Aloka the Peace Dog rejoined the group in Charlotte after orthopedic surgery Monday at the Charleston Veterinary Referral Center, while the monks maintain pacing and often sleep in tents despite bandaged feet.
  • Public safety officials monitored congested routes as thousands of in‑person supporters gathered, while millions of online followers tracked the walk, causing Charlotte traffic delays and roadside gatherings.
  • They are scheduled to reach Concord and Kannapolis by Friday, Jan. 16, expected through Salisbury and Spencer on Saturday, Jan. 17, and due in Raleigh on Jan. 24.
