Buddhist Walk for Peace 2026

  1. Hello, thanks for commenting on my blog. Nice to meet you! 😊

    I am loving the Buddhist walk for peace – – including that they didn’t wait for better weather but launched out in October! As the Talmud says, do it now.

    Also, this now:

    "If there are viewers of ours who are lonely who are suffering, what would your message to them be?" [interviewer] Persing asked.

    Venerable leader of the walk replied:
    "Get out a piece of paper and write down,
    ‘today is going to be my peaceful day.’
    Write it down with the hand and mind together, it’s very simple but very powerful."

  2. I realize these critters are forms which are made and then the clay slip is poured into them...but the glazing is superb!

    1. I just watched the Olympics Opening Ceremonies, and teared up at the part about the future and the solar system. Our future is not one I’ll be seeing very much longer, which makes me sad. Ok I’ll imagine several years, but we never know how many more days we have.

    1. I look out my window and see the sun shining on a bird and think about how that same Sun is shining on you in Hawaii. You’re just over the horizon and down the way, a friendly sister With such a beautiful cat!
