Shinmon Michael Newton asks: do you recognize the qualities of Manjushri in your daily life?
Myoshin Kate McCandless asks: who have you met along the pilgrimage of your life that has been a teacher to you? Who has helped you in just the right way and what did you learn?
Beyond existence and non-existence, Shinmon Michael Newton shares how Vairocana brings the light of wisdom- impartially, omnipresent, impossible to block, and eternal.
Continuing the deep exploration of Kannon Bodhisattva, Myoshin Kate McCandless offers insights into the bodhisattva’s various manifestations and names.
"Listen to the deeds of Avalokiteshvara, who aptly responds in every quarter.
With vast pledge as deep as oceans, throughout kalpas beyond reckoning,
served many thousands of millions of buddhas, bringing forth this great pure vow."
