Description
The deep and warm tone of kesu, a magnificent bowl gong, lingers over the worship space of this new Zen Buddhist monastery, which houses close to 100 monks and nuns. Here the faithful can make offerings and perform prostrations under the patient attentive eye of the Zen priest. The Altar is known for its large Buddha, flanked by statues reminding us of the twin Buddhist virtues of wisdom and compassion.
