Today's service at Daifukuji Soto Zen Buddhist Mission was dedicated to Jizo, and a great dharma talk was given by Jordan Soujin Phillips. Here are two screenshots from the live stream:

The talk “Waking Up in Challenging Times” was given by Daifukuji member Jordon “Soujin” Phillips. Soujin is a trans writer, editor, activist, and Zen student who is presently pursuing chaplaincy training within the Buddhist tradition and while working at Hospice Of Kona. The picture shows a woman wearing a bright lei speaking from a podium.

This picture shows the temple altar on the right, with many flowers and several statues of Jizo in the foreground. To the left is Reverend Jiko Nakade strumming a ukulele, and her daughter Amy (deacon of Daifukuji) singing.
