December 7: “Hats for the Jizos” and Kasajizo Snow Dome

Join us for a reading of "Hats for the Jizos" as we celebrate the arrival of the holiday season and learn about shiwasu.

Shiwasu (師走) directly translates to monks (師) running about (走). While monks are known for being wise, calm and serene, toward the end of the year, they, like everyone else, become wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

Take a moment to relax and find inner peace by making your own hanging Kasajizo snow dome with wishes for a peaceful year end.
