Walk for Peace attracts thousands across Henrico, ‘comes at a critical time’ for communities, nation
Bhikkhu Pannakara, spiritual leader of the Walk for Peace, spoke to county officials and other supporters during a lunchtime stop. He emphasized the importance of being happy with what you have, of practicing mindfulness, of avoiding the distraction of cellphones and other devices, and of adopting peacefulness as a mindset.
“We are mindful on each and every step we make,” he said. “I focus on my breathing when I walk, it's not just a walk, but walk with practicing mindfulness.”
