Several news items have been posted around the web about the peace walk sponsored by Nipponzan Myohoji. From the Courier-Post:

About two dozen monks, nuns and activists arrived in Camden late Tuesday afternoon, part of the Walk for a New Spring, organized by the Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Order in Massachusetts.

"I've found that walking for peace is a transformative experience," said organizer Tim Bullock, 60, of Leverett, Mass. "It transforms everything that has kept us in wars for the whole 20th century."

Participants are walking for 55 days from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C. Additional item here.
