Statue of Avalokiteshvara, the one who hears the cries of the world, at Gokurakuji Temple in Okayama, Japan, made in likeness of the late Rev. Junkei Yogi, our Abbess' good Dharma friend at the Nagoya Women's Monastery



A special fund has been set up to help aid the victims of the March 11th Japan earthquake and tsunami.  Abbess Dai-En recently returned after a six week journey volunteering in several cities of the disaster area.  All donations will go directly to places the Abbess has personally visited.
