In the middle of all this noise — the violence, the cruelty, the constant demand that we harden ourselves — a group of Buddhist monks is doing something quietly radical. They’re walking. All the way from Texas to Washington, D.C. No chants. No threats. No spectacle. Just step after step, carrying a message of peace, compassion, and responsibility toward one another. In a country where power is so often expressed through domination, their presence feels like a refusal — a reminder that resistance doesn’t always have to shout to be heard.
We’re sharing videos from their journey in today’s Dangerous News Break because they offer something rare right now: steadiness. These monks aren’t pretending everything is fine. They’re responding to a moment of deep national trauma by modeling what it looks like to slow down, stay human, and choose care over cruelty. In times like these, that’s not passive — it’s precedent-setting.
Watch the clips. Sit with them for a minute. Let them remind you that courage can be quiet, and that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do in an unjust moment is to keep walking toward compassion anyway.
