With the increase in violent conflict and continued breakdown of social structures throughout the world, we are facing a profound spiritual crisis. Who are we? What are we here for? How do we care for each other?

To meet this moment, Gyodo Sensei calls us to honor our core aspiration to wake up to serve all beings and bring our entire life into the practice of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha — to renew our aspiration, clarify our intentions, and allow compassion to permeate all our activity.
