A Mindful Body Therapies

01/27/2026

The thing I love most about Buddhism is that it’s not a religion. It’s a philosophy, any religion or non religion can and should practice it. I’ve studied a few different religions, and they all have some type of reference to being in the present moment, being still, not living in the past, not worrying about tomorrow, just being with an open heart and openness to divine guidance.

📌 Public Statement: The Walk For Peace was created with a simple and sincere purpose: to cultivate peace through compassion, loving-kindness, and mindfulness, and to bring peace to individuals, communities, our country, and the world.

Along this journey, some have asked about the recognition of Vesak as a National Holiday in the United States. The aspiration for Vesak recognition is not specific to Hương Đạo Vipassana Bhavana Center, nor to any single organization. It is a shared and longstanding dream held by Buddhists around the world, rooted in honoring the universal values of wisdom, compassion, and peace embodied in the Buddha’s life.

The Walk For Peace itself is not a political movement, nor is it focused on advocacy or legislation. Rather, it is a spiritual offering—an invitation to live peace through everyday actions, mindful steps, and open hearts. We believe that when peace is cultivated within, it naturally ripples outward into society.

Our focus remains on walking together in harmony, sowing seeds of understanding, and allowing peace to arise organically—wherever conditions are wholesome and ready.

With gratitude and respect.
The Walk For Peace Team

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

✨ Sometimes we forget the little truths that make us who we are. This is your gentle reminder: you are more than enough, exactly as you are. Your smile lights up the world, your strength carries you through challenges, and your presence itself is a gift. 🌻💛

You matter. Your happiness is essential. You are loved deeply and unconditionally. And most of all—you are worthy of every good thing life has to offer. 🌌

Carry these words with you today, and let them sink into your heart. Because in case no one told you: you are amazing. 🌟

This.. 💯THIS!!
I’ve seen these attacks way too much here lately, and it’s hiding  behind a cross.
Ladies, don’t let these little men shrink who you are! Don’t believe for a moment that Jesus wanted to silence you, on the contrary, he lifted women up!
To the men who think like this, I will continue to pray for your healing and hope that you get the help that you need. There’s a lot of excellent counselors out there, I suggest you start seeking them. 

To the man who commented,
“this is what’s wrong with women these days”,
when I wrote of raising a daughter
who’ll be aware of her worth and unashamed of her fire,
I didn’t mean to frighten you.
I understand that strong women can be quite threatening
to weak men.

To the man who commented,
“no man will want her”,
when I wrote of raising a daughter who’ll have her own voice and the audacity to use it freely,
I’m sure that was hard to hear.
The thought of a woman proudly defiant,
who you can’t control or intimidate,
probably sent a shiver down where your spine’s
supposed to be.

And to the man who commented,
“sounds like a future cat lady”,
when I wrote of raising a daughter who’ll know
her value doesn’t need validating,
please don’t take it so personally.
The type of life she designs is for her to decide,
but I promise, it will be filled with love, regardless.

It’s obvious that you’re all hurting.
I’m sorry if I upset you or stirred something up inside.
Did your mother not hug you enough?
Did your father not allow you to cry?
Did your wife leave and take half of your decency, too? You’re not displaying masculinity.
You’re broadcasting insecurities.
Your values aren’t “traditional”,
they’re chauvinistic.

Many of the strongest men I’ve ever known have a woman just as strong standing beside them.
Their manhood isn’t assailed by their wife’s confidence
or outspokenness.

And not a single one of the powerful women I’ve known
were made “less” by being alone.
If anything reduced them,
it was acquiescing to impotent men.

The irony is that when I say I will raise my daughter to be bold and assertive, unflinching and fierce,
the ones provoked by that
don’t realize they’re the reason why.
