**Bring a flash light.** Some of the walk is lit with street lights. Some is not. **YOU WILL NEED SPIKES. TRAIL IS ALL ICY !!!!** We will be hiking along the historic Alexandria waterfront down and through scenic Old Town to the Wilson bridge and back. Lovely views of the river, as well as of Old Town. Part of the walk is on the Mount Vernon Trail bike path. Hike is mostly flat, and on paved surfaces or board walk. Please note the hike leaves at 600PM sharp. There are bathrooms at the halfway point. **Meet at the small parking area closest to the bike path. First left on Marina Drive. Not the large marina parking area that is further along.** We walk pretty briskly around 3.4-3.8 miles an hour. I assume if you can’t keep up, you can always find your way back to the starting point. Hope you can join our group of stalwart regulars and cheery newcomers. Happy hiking. Most of the walk has street lights, but not all so, but bring a light.

with supporters offering food, water, and lodging. * **Community Interaction:** They tie blessing strings (a simple thread) on supporters' wrists as tangible reminders of peace, fostering a connection between the journey and the individuals. * **Online Presence:** The group actively shares updates, photos, and live maps on social media (Facebook), garnering significant support and media attention. In essence, it's a walking meditation and grassroots effort to promote a message of inner and outer peace through personal example and community connection across the United States. **Proper & Respectful Practice TO BE FOLLOW when meeting the Monks:** **1\. Choose simple\, clean flowers \-** Fresh flowers without strong fragrance are ideal. Simplicity reflects sincerity. **2\. Place them low\, not high \-** Gently place the flowers on the ground, never at head level or above the monk. **3\. Do not block the path \-** Set the flowers slightly to the side or just ahead of where the monk will step, allowing him to pass naturally without changing his stride. **4\. Kneel or bow if appropriate \-** If culturally appropriate, kneel or bow briefly after placing the flowers. Keep movements calm and unhurried. **5\. Maintain silence \-** Avoid speaking, calling attention, or making eye contact unless the monk initiates it. **6\. Step back mindfully \-** After placing the flowers, step back to allow space. Let the offering speak for itself. **7\. Offer with intention\, "not expectation" \-** The true offering is your mindfulness and gratitude, not recognition. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Proper way to present your self to a Monk:** To show respect in front of a Buddhist monk, it is generally recommended to **bow with your palms pressed together** (known as the *añjali* gesture or *wai* in Thai culture), which is a common and appropriate form of greeting and reverence. Full prostration (the "kowtow") is typically reserved for sacred objects like a Buddha statue during specific ceremonies, not as a casual greeting. Here are the appropriate steps and considerations for greeting a Buddhist monk: The Basic Greeting (Añjali/Wai) 1. **Bring your hands together, palm-to-palm, in front of your chest**. This gesture is called *añjali* (or *wai* in Thailand) and can be used as a greeting, a thank-you, or when speaking with the monk. 2. **Raise your hands** to a level appropriate for the monk's status. * For a typical monk, the hands are often raised to the level of the lowered forehead, with the index fingers or thumbs touching the forehead. * The higher the hands and the lower the bow, the more respect shown. 3. **Accompany the gesture with a slight bow of your head or from the waist**, keeping your back and neck straight. 4. **Avoid physical contact** such as shaking hands, especially if you are a woman, as many monks follow a strict code of conduct regarding physical contact with people of the opposite sex. \* Deeper Expression of Respect (Prostration/Kowtow) A more profound sign of respect, often referred to as kowtow in a general sense, is the full **prostration** (known as *krab* in Thai culture). This is typically done during formal ceremonies in a temple or shrine room: 1. **Kneel** on the floor with your body composed. Men usually sit on their heels, while women may sit with their legs tucked to one side. 2. **Bow forward**, placing your palms on the floor about six inches apart, and touch your forehead to the floor between your hands. 3. **Repeat this three times** to show reverence to the Triple Gem (Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha). 4. Avoid pointing your feet toward the monk or a Buddha image while seated or prostrating, as this is considered highly disrespectful in many cultures. **General Etiquette** * **Address the monk respectfully:** Use titles such as "Bhante" (Pali for "Venerable Sir") or "Venerable". In some traditions, senior monks with over ten years of experience may be addressed as "Ajahn" (Thai for "teacher"). * **Dress modestly:** Ensure your shoulders, chest, and knees are covered when visiting a temple or meeting a monk. * **Sit at a lower level:** If the monk is sitting, you should sit as well, avoiding sitting in a higher position than the monk. * **Use both hands when offering something** and avoid passing items directly to a monk of the opposite gender; use a receiving cloth or place the item on a nearby surface instead. * **Be mindful of your feet:** Never point the soles of your feet towards a monk or a Buddha image. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Join me to Welcome the Walk for Pease Monks and walk whit them on they last miles from Virginia to DC. around 15 miles.
