hington State that coincides with Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action's Martin Luther King Jr. Day Vigil at the Trident nuclear submarine base. This is one of many peace walks that the monks from the Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Temple on Bainbridge Island have led in recent years.

Hi Leonard; thank you for this post. I'm also grateful to Senji-san for adjusting the start date of the walk to include time together at the Monday, Jan. 12 evening vigil at St. Leo Church in preparation for the federal trial of 3 civil resisters who are bringing attention to the criminality of nuclear weapons. St. Leo's is at 710 South 13th in downtown Tacoma (corner of South Yakima Ave. & S. 13th St.; enter parking from Yakima Ave. at S. 14th street.) Other information about the trial & the action that precipitated the charges is at http://tomkarlin36.googlepages.com/TridentVisitation. Peace, Laura
