Recent Events O-Higan Dynamic Compassion: Life and Death, retreat led by Monshin Naamon, Jushoku of Jiunzan Tendai-ji on September 21-23, 2007. The ‘circle of life’ is a reality that is well addressed in Buddhist philosophy, teachings and practices. During this retreat we explored the Buddhist view of death and dying, preparing for one’s own death, assisting others through their journey and ways to live more fully through this knowledge. The practices included meditation and chanting. Yearly Gyo (Priest Training) - The 2007 Gyo (training) was held this year between June 20 and July 1. For the Doshu and Soryo who participated this was especially meaningful. The gyo insures that the leaders of the sangha and others who assist in our community are competently trained and they themselves undergo rigorous spiritual practices so they can provide personal direction.
