'This is why we walk': Monks brave snow, sleet while making way out of Wake County Was able to see them Friday evening! The "Walk For Peace" is a 2,300-mile procession of monks making their way from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C., where they are expected to conclude their journey in mid-February and ask Congress to recognize Buddha's day of birth as a federal holiday.

Despite snow and sleet, a group of monks began their journey out of Wake County, embodying their powerful message: "This is why we walk." Their dedication to their spiritual path shines brightly through every step! ❄️🙏 #MonkLife #SpiritualJourney #WakeCounty

Post image Meet Bruce Tree.

Bruce is a chipmunk Monk who channels hyper-alert woodland instincts into dizzying martial arts and acrobatic precision. Fast, jittery, and curious to a fault, he scampers up walls, slips past blades, and punches like a tempest. His fighting style -- rooted in the Way of the Drunken Master -- mimics chaos but is honed by instinct, training, and unnerving, twitchy Focus.

Once a totally ordinary chipmunk on Earth, Bruce's reality fractured one night beneath a familiar oak. He awoke somewhere strange, somewhere magical, able to speak. Disoriented but adaptable, Bruce found himself accidentally rescuing a trio of talking birds who call themselves the Blue Jay Gang. Later, his first true ally, a half-elf druid named Juniper, gave him a name, a scarf, and a purpose. "Adventuring," she said. Bruce ran with it.

Now he wanders the world in wide-eyed wonder, hoarding snacks and shiny objects in his enchanted “cheeks of holding” and learning the rules of a world that still thinks he’s a squirrel with delusions of kung fu. But Bruce is more than that. He knows there's a tree -- his tree -- that he may never see again. And while he doesn’t quite grasp why he’s here, he’ll follow the trail wherever it leads, even if it means stunning dragons with flurries of blows and dodging spells like falling leaves.

即心記 Sokushin-ki (On the mind) > Of course, one who dies while sitting in zazen will never be unhappy. But it is nearly impossible to die in this manner if your body is suffering the pain of sickness. My own master (Gudō Kokushi) said, 'Your zazen for one sitting is a lifetime of zazen.' How edifying these words of his are.
