Well, the long-awaited Jizo House has finally opened!  And this is good news for the sangha.  It opens up the possibility for sangha members who may be infirm or disabled from age or medical conditions to come to Zen Mountain Monastery to practice.  It was designed to match the style of the main monastery building on the outside, but with more space available than the old Jizo House for the monastery's dye studio and statuary.  It also has space for processing honey from the property's bee hives, and for general storage.  It also has a transition room for convalescent and end of life care for the monastics.  In the video below, Gokan, one of the senior monastics will take the viewer on a tour of the Jizo House, with an explanation of its structure and use.  He also discusses other changes at the monastery as part of the larger Jizo Project to help those who are infirm to continue their practice at the monastery.
