“A True Heart Exists” offers a glimpse of how the living teaching can be passed on by example, in real life.

This talk was prepared for the Wallowa Buddhist Temple congregation on the occasion of our yearly Festival Memorial for our spiritual Founder, also the 24th anniversary of Reverend Master Jiyu-Kennett’s death on November 6, 1996. It includes Rev. Clairissa’s first-hand account of the days following Rev. Master Jiyu’s death at the monastery, from the perspective of a (then) young laywoman who is now a Zen priest and grand-disciple of Rev. Master Jiyu.

Below is a link to our temple website page with more about Rev. Master Jiyu, including some suggested readings:
