🙏 An Extraordinary Day – Columbia, South Carolina (Day 77, 1/10/2026)

 

Today, thousands of people walked with us and joined us at the peace gathering in Columbia, South Carolina.

 

The streets filled with hearts united for peace. The State House grounds overflowed with people who believe in compassion, mindfulness, and unity. The energy was overwhelming, beautiful, and deeply moving.

 

We are profoundly grateful to every single person who came. To those who walked beside us. To those who stood and waited. To those who brought their families, their friends, their open hearts.
Columbia, South Carolina—thank you. Thank you from the depths of our hearts. This day will stay with us always. 🙏

 

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏✨

🙏 We are deeply grateful to Sheriff Koon and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department for their beautiful gesture yesterday. They presented a pin to Bhikkhu Pannakara and a special badge to Aloka the Peace Dog—a moment that touched all our hearts.

 

These gifts represent more than symbols. They represent warmth, support, and the understanding that peace is something we build together.

 

To Sheriff Koon and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department: thank you for your kindness, your support. Your gesture will be carried forward with us.
May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.🙏

It is a powerful reminder that the wish for peace is universal—transcending traditions, transcending differences, uniting all hearts.
Thank you, Fr. Linsky, for welcoming us, and for showing that peace belongs to all of us.
