Buddhist monks head to DC to finish a 'Walk for Peace' that captivated millions

> While in the U.S. capital, they plan to submit a request to lawmakers to declare Vesak — Buddha's birthday — a national holiday. But, Pannakara and others have emphasized that is not the walk's goal.

> Long Si Dong, a spokesperson for the temple, said the walk is neither a political movement nor is it focused on advocacy or legislation.

> "It's a spiritual offering — an invitation to live peace through everyday actions, mindful steps and open hearts," he said. "We believe when peace is cultivated within, it naturally ripples outward into society."
