Being Inspired by Samantabhadra

This holiday season, we’re taking inspiration from the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, who is often linked to beneficial activity.

Samantabhadra inspires action that benefits all beings; action inspired by compassion. This Bodhisattva encourages us to take practice off the cushion and into the world.

Central Abbess Linda Cutts reflects on why Samantabhadra inspires her.

Visit sfzc.org/yearend to see more from Linda, and to join SFZC as we take the next steps together to bring practice into action.
