This is a special little altar on the kitchen shelf. I offer water, flowers and incense to Jizo daily and he keeps an eye on me (and the universe).
He fits in well with my tenzo practice, since he is the saviour of souls who have to suffer in the underworld. The qualities of Jizo are compassion, optimism, and courage.
This specific Jizo statue is designed by Jan Chozen Bays Roshi. He smiles alot. Right now he is standing under flowering forsythia branches, enjoying the icicles outside the window and the promise of spring.
