with Shosan Victoria Austin and Lucy Xiao

City Center Dining room

Meet the Bodhisattva of Compassion face to face.

Perfect wisdom and universal compassion are the two faces of realization. In this afternoon workshop, we will learn traditional methods to generate the undivided heart and mind of compassion. We will explore the uninterrupted life of Guan Yin (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva) through hearing, reflection and silence. The afternoon will include chanting, bowing, sutra copying, and meditation on the forms of Guan Yin.

People of all physical abilities and levels of meditation experience are welcome. Please eat lightly and wear loose, comfortable clothing.
