Manjusri is the bodhisattva of wisdom and insight. Often shown with a sword in one hand, he shows the true nature of things, which is emptiness. Manjusri sees through the illusory self-other dichotomy. Join us for the second of the seven bodhisattva archetypes
Share with the sangha as we listen to the reflections of senior dharma teacher Jozen Jonathon Fielder, followed by question and response. After a short break you are invited to our weekly morning service and zazen practice.
