The Bodhisattva of Compassion is a salient figure in the Mahayana tradition and in our Zen sutra service. She (he!) manifests in different genders and forms which speak to us in slightly different ways. But her means are always generous, whether in pronouncing the deepest wisdom, portraying great action, modelling how to be embodied, showing the way of non-separation.  In this talk she even appears in a country-western style song.

Meeting Kuan Yin

The ocean of inter-being is our true nature. Can we see a cloud in your cup of tea. Present moment is an open field of benefaction.  Our interpersonal and relational field and its correlation with the latest theories of Quantum physics – interactive, dynamic quantum field of probabilities being created and annihilated every moment. Embodying the wonder and joy of Indra’s Web of interconnectedness. How can we enlarge our vision to see our shared world more spaciously and more compassionately.
