A Buddha statue from China, several centuries old, that was donated to Zen Center.

This statue is in the City Center Dining Room at 300 Page Street. Restoration work was recently done to prevent the wooden statue from deteriorating. The curtains behind it are now kept closed to help preserve it. The mudra is the gesture of perfection of supreme enlightenment.

Remembering Mary Watson

I want to invite us to be with Mary's spirit, because she really embodied compassion. When Blanche gave her the precepts, she gave her the name, Eyes of Compassion, Nurturing Teacher, and that's what Mary was.
