Buddhist monk Sutham Nateetong carried nothing more than a backpack during his 3,000-mile journey along Route 66.
He walked through Tulsa five years ago today, aiming to travel the old highway to its terminus in Chicago before heading to New York.
“When I walk, I meditate some more and send love and kindness to everybody,” Nateetong said.
Nateetong said he was walking “for peace.”
“I think if our world has peace, then everybody be happy,” he said.
