@atlantanewsfirst: A Buddhist monk who was hit by a car during the Walk for Peace in November is back home in metro Atlanta – just in time for the other monks to visit him while passing through Gwinnett county. On Nov. 11, Phra-Ajarnh Maha Dam Phommasan was walking for peace with a group of other Buddhist monks on the side of the road about 30 miles east of Houston, Texas, when a car slammed into the monks’ escort vehicle, which then hit Phommasan. He lived and was rushed to the hospital in Houston, where he learned he lost his left leg. But, as hard as it’s been to deal with losing his leg, Phommasan says some good did come out of it.
