Walk for Peace Journey in Sri Lanka 2026 -

Itinerary Overview

We are filled with joy to share the itinerary for our Walk for Peace journey in Sri Lanka, taking place from April 21 to May 1, 2026.

This meaningful journey carries a dual purpose: to bring awareness of peace, mindfulness, loving-kindness, and unity as we walk across the beautiful island of Sri Lanka, and to receive and bring home the Sacred Relics of the Buddha and a sacred Bodhi tree sapling to the Hương Đạo Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth, Texas.
