Zen Community of Oregon Dharma Talks

Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva, or Jizo in Japanese, is the archetypal protector of all that comes from the Earth. Jizo represents enlightened qualities that we all naturally possess: benevolence, determination, fearlessness, and optimism. Jizo is also known for the vow to help all beings realize their true potential, including us. Our realization that we are supported, guided, and protected by Jizo opens us to a life that is woven completely of faith. What do we have faith in, in each moment?
