Venerable Bhikkhu Paññakara, also known as Su Tu? Nhân, is a Vietnamese-American Theravada Buddhist monk and former IT engineer. He is widely recognized for leading the 2025–2026 "Walk for Peace," an arduous 2,300-mile pilgrimage from Texas to Washington, D.C., undertaken to promote mindfulness, nonviolence, and compassion.

"I'm so grateful I was blessed with the opportunity to see him and give him the children's offering. Thank you Cindy for helping me on this entire journey."

Students in Casa 3 made a poster to give a monk for peace...

"I shared with him what the children did to try to walk with him. I shared photos with the children in their process. (faces covered) So he could see their efforts. The times i had seen him during the walk when i travelled from Mississauga to Virginia in February when he was on the walk and my attempts to deliver to him the original from the children that went missing. That i printed a copy when i discovered he was coming to Mississauga to deliver it to him for the children. I'm so grateful."

"I made a copy of a photo I took of it. I also included on the back of this one the story of Cindy and my journey to Virginia and photos of the children making the poster. When on that journey we received from the venerable flowers on his way past. There was exactly 25. The same number of students in my class. We pressed them and laminated and gave one to each student."

"i posted on this page requesting help to try to see him. I learned of the peace walk on FB in January and shared with my students. They had done the Terry Fox walk in sept a d understood they could walk for Terry for cancer so they wanted to walk with the monks for peace. They asked to walk with the monks. We walked in the classroom barefoot. They wanted to do more. We painted their feet and made a poster of footprints. They wanted to do more. They wanted to know what was a monk? What languages did they speak? We started researching about them. They wanted to know how to say peace to the monks. So we learned how to say peace in Thai and many other languages. The children wanted their own languages, other languages.

Then they asked how would i get the poster to them.

I started to research how could I deliver it to them. I drove the 10 hours to deliver it to them. We made multiple attempts but could not deliver it to him personally."
