At Play in the Empty Field



The backyard of the Hazy Moon was filled with critters and their people for our recent pet-blessing ceremony. The peaceful setting was accented with a gorgeous altar adorned with flowers arranged by the incomparable Gendo. Attendees of all different colors, shapes and sizes were all on their best behavior, having a great time with all of the festivities. Several people and animals traveled quite a distance to participate, and everyone enjoyed the beautiful ceremony to release all sentient beings from suffering and to actualize a healthy, joyful life.

                                                  

Does a dog have Buddha-nature?
Puh-leeze!
