On Sunday, July 5th, the "TRINITY TO TRIDENT INTERFAITH PEACE WALK" began in Los Alamos, New Mexico, heading south for 11 days of walking and praying for peace. After numerous trials and tribulations, "the Magnificent Seven/Seven Peaceful Samurai" arrived at the Stallion Gate of White Sands Missile Range, the closest public entrance to the Trinity Site. This Interfaith Peace Walk is led by a Buddhist Nipponzan Myohoji monk, and interfaith prayers are welcome! |
