ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - FEBRUARY 10: (SPEECH) Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara (C) speaks "And to be honest with you, toxic people, a lot out there. And the more you react, the more they love it. When you react, they love it. They will go to the next person and do the same thing, and they go enjoy their life while we stand there and cry and then suffer. So don't react. If you keep on reacting, your life will go back to the old days and we are going to suffer until we die." as the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington (CL) and the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, Dean of Washington National Cathedral listen during an interfaith ceremony after the monks arrived at the Washington National Cathedral on February 10, 2026 in Arlington, Virginia.
