Monks lead peace walk to Hanford

A flag with the chants of the Buddhist order flies Thursday as monks from the Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Temple on Bainbridge Island lead a prayer during their annual Interfaith Peace Walk at John Dam Plaza in Richland. The Richland segment of the walk began at the park and continued north on George Washington Way to the Hanford 300 Area gate, where they prayed for world peace and an abolition of nuclear weapons.
