Walk for World Peace – Europe 2026

We are pleased to share details of the inspiring international initiative “Walk for World Peace”, led by the Buddhist monk Phra Sutham Nateetong (Phra Sutham Tiadhammo).

From 19 April to 7 July 2026, seven Buddhist monks will walk approximately 3,000 kilometres across Europe, promoting peace, compassion, and unity. The journey will begin in Amsterdam and conclude at North Cape, passing through the following countries:

• Netherlands
• Germany
• Denmark
• Sweden
• Finland
• Norway

Throughout the route, Phra Sutham and the accompanying monks would sincerely welcome opportunities to meet with IPA members. This is a unique chance to connect with a meaningful global initiative and support a message of peace and international friendship.

We encourage all IPA sections along the route to consider joining them on their walk or welcoming the group as they pass through your country.

Further details, including the full route and schedule, are available, and timings may vary depending on weather and road conditions.

Let us come together to support this remarkable journey for peace.
