Aloka, il "cane della pace", è un randagio che si è unito ai monaci durante un dhutanga del 2022 in India. Adottato e portato negli Stati Uniti, il cane - riconoscibile da un segno a forma di cuore sulla fronte - ora cammina con loro in una Walk for Peace di 108 giorni e 2.300 miglia da Fort Worth, Texas, fino alla Virginia.

We encourage everyone to join the live stream of a Global Loving-Kindness Meditation being led by the monks currently undertaking the Walk for Peace across the United States.

One of my lovely sangha mates says it's also been very helpful in reorienting the content being served if you're using algorithmic social media - Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.

Madeleine, I do want to be the among the Buddhust monks who are walking for peace, I do understand why they do what they do, and I do identify with them.
I also admire them for what I recognise as a practical ethical act.
I also love Aloka, the stray dog from India who is walking with the monks. He joined their group before they came to the US during a previous peace walk in India.
He us now being called #AlokaThePeaceDog
