Channel: Lion's Roar
Date: 19/04/2023

Rev. Doralee Grindler Katonah, a priest from the Soto Zen sangha of Valley Streams, joined Lama Jinpa this Sunday to talk about a principal bodhisattva in the Mahayana tradition known as Jizo in the Zen tradition and Ksitigarbha in the Tibetan tradition.  This Bodhisattva is regarded as the guardian of children and a bodhisattva of hell beings who can carry us out of the hells of deep suffering. 

Rev. Katonah also offers an invitation to an inter-sangha Jizo Ceremony on April 22 from 1 to 4 pm at the Sacramento Dharma Center, 3111 Wissemann Drive.  She explains more about the upcoming ceremony and the healing such ceremonies can bring to those who are grieving and have suffered loss.
