I heard about this PEACE EVENT first
at the Evening of Magic and Love
at Sarina's House Wed where I was reading
some of the Seven Love Cures and we were
hearing some beautiful music.
Bo Bebo was talking about it.
I wanted more info, and called her for it.
Then I saw this on the site of Liora Leah
with all the links and details.
The event is this Saturday in LA.
I feel good energy around this event.
I am going to see how to work out the logistics
so I can be here.
I have not met Thich Nat Hahn before.
This is a good opportunity.

Below is our press release on the L.A. Walk, which went out to thousands of media yesterday.
September 20, 2005
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DEER PARK MONASTERY ANNOUNCES RENOWNED PEACEMAKER THICH NHAT HANH WILL LEAD A SILENT PEACE WALK TO PROMOTE HEALING IN AMERICA
LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 20 - As America struggles with its suffering, poverty, and racial and religious tensions, renowned peacemaker Thich Nhat Hanh will lead a mindful, silent peace walk Oct. 8th in Los Angeles to support the country's healing. (www.peaceiseverystep.net)
"You are invited to come and walk peacefully," says Thich Nhat Hanh. "We shall walk in such a way that each step we make becomes a realization of peace; each step becomes a prayer for peace and harmony. Children will join us and we shall walk together in silence, with no banners and no pickets. The walk will not be a petition addressed to anyone, nor will it be a demonstration against anyone. The walk is to unite our heart, to nurture our togetherness and to dissipate fear and separation."
Thich Nhat Hanh is revered as one of the greatest peacemakers of our times. He was nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for the Nobel Peace Prize and has been a Buddhist monk, peace activist and advocate of love and forgiveness since the age of 16. He has survived persecution, three wars, and 40 years of exile from his native Vietnam. Earlier this year the Vietnamese government allowed Thich Nhat Hanh to return to Vietnam.
"If you are a Buddhist, please come", says Hanh. "If you are a Christian, please come. If you are Jewish, Muslim, or belong to or identify with any other religious creed or peace organization, please come. If you are white, brown, black, yellow, red or any other color, please come."
Thich Nhat Hanh, who is the author of more than 100 books, says, "We shall learn together that wrong perceptions of self and others are at the foundation of separation, fear, hate, and violence, and that togetherness and collaboration are possible. Let us begin anew in our country by listening deeply to each other. Let us also begin anew in the world community by listening deeply and taking care of each other as one family and ending war."
Thich Nhat Hanh will be joined by the monks and nuns of Deer Park Monastery and Plum Village, France.
EDITORS' NOTE: The walk begins at 10 a.m. at MacArthur Park, 2230 West 6th St., Los Angeles, CA 90057. For more information, contact Sr. Susan or Sr. Jewel (760) 484-0833 or email for immediate response: deerparkmonastery@yahoo.com
"Life is filled with suffering, but it is also filled with many wonders, like the blue sky, the sunshine, the eyes of a baby. To suffer is not enough. We must also be in touch with the wonders of life. They are within us and all around us, everywhere, any time." -Thich Nhat Hanh
