Life in Quarantine - Chozen Bays, Roshi
As the spread of COVID-19 continues, Chozen Roshi gives an update on activities at the monastery, showing how quarantined life connects us with the wider world. Reflecting on past episodes of crisis in human history, we are reminded that our current situation is not uncommon. This is a shared experience and an opportunity for spiritual practice. Also, this pandemic will not last forever, and it is important that we find something positive to look forward to.

The Vows of Jizo Bodhisattva - Chozen Bays, Roshi
Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva, or Jizo in Japanese, is the archetypal protector of all that comes from the Earth. Jizo represents enlightened qualities that we all naturally possess: benevolence, determination, fearlessness, and optimism. Jizo is also known for the vow to help all beings realize their true potential, including us. Our realization that we are supported, guided, and protected by Jizo opens us to a life that is woven completely of faith. What do we have faith in, in each moment?
