In this story, Brother David Stencil-Rast tells how he and his close friend and fellow monk Thich Nhat Hanh marched in an antinuclear demonstration in New York City in 1982. Thich, a leader in the nonviolent movement for peace in Vietnam had asked that every single step of their march be a meditation for peace. Brother David tells of their walking meditation as they enjoyed the marchers, the colorful array of streamers and signs, clowns and children, musicians and singers, mothers wheeling their infants, even dogs displaying peaceful slogans. He also shares a profound moment of an epiphany that he, Hanh and a group of Buddhist and Christian monks witnessed as they protested the next morning outside the French delegation to the United Nations. “There are times we must face and oppose what separates us,” Brother David says. “Only then can healing take place.”
