A spiritual journey dedicated to peace, compassion, and national unity officially begins across Sri Lanka today (21), with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake extending his full support to the initiative titled “Walk for Peace.”
In a message shared on X, the President said he was honoured to stand behind the journey, describing it as a meaningful effort to promote mindfulness, loving-kindness, harmony, and togetherness among all Sri Lankans.
The walk sets out from Dambulla, carrying with it the Sacred Relics of the Buddha and a Bodhi tree sapling, symbols deeply rooted in the island’s spiritual and cultural heritage. As the sacred procession moves across the country, it is expected to inspire reflection on the timeless values of peace and compassion.
President Dissanayake called on the people of Sri Lanka to embrace the deeper message of the journey, encouraging citizens from all communities to reflect on the values that have long shaped the nation’s identity.
He also expressed hope that this spiritual initiative would serve as a powerful step toward strengthening national unity, while sending a profound message of peace from Sri Lanka to the wider world.
The “Walk for Peace” is seen as more than a ceremonial journey—it stands as a symbol of hope, reconciliation, and shared humanity, at a time when unity and compassion remain central to the country’s future.
