Zoom Kanzeon Ceremony
Mar 9 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

Since the teaching of compassion is fundamentally important in Buddhism, in many Zen temples each day begins with a ceremony for the Bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshwara or Kanzeon. Our Kanzeon ceremony is a variation of our morning service, emphasizing the scripture of Avalokiteshwara, a chapter of the Lotus sutra.

We will hold this ceremony via zoom, if you would like to join us, please get in touch.
