Handa Shonin Memorial Walk 2012
Rev Handa was a Buddhist monk at Milton Keynes Peace Pagoda from 1080 until his sudden death in August 2007, just after he had joined an anti-nuclear walk and led the annual floating lantern ceremony on Hiroshima Day. A small group of people (between 5 and 10) will walk this August in memory of Handa Shonin and all he stood for.
The walk will start at AWE Aldermaston and end at Hinkley Point. People can support this walk by joining, for a short or long period; by offering sleeping place and food to the walkers and by organising local events linking with the walk.
