A group of Buddhist monks is walking for peace from Texas to the White House in Washington, DC.

Nearly two dozen monks from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth, led by Bhikkhu Pannakara, are walking 2,300 miles to promote national healing, unity and compassion. The journey began on Oct. 26 and is expected to end on Feb. 12.

The center is also the future site of one of the most ambitious Buddhist temple projects in the United States. The temple is attempting to raise $200 million to develop a center that will span 14 acres and feature 840 stupas, or Buddhist monuments.
