The Maitreya Project Heart Shrine Relic Tour

On September 21-23, 2012, relics of the Buddha and other Buddhist masters were hosted at the Zen Center of Syracuse.  Small placards accompanied each of the relics with the name of the master and the inscription "most extremely precious one."  Throughout the weekend, hundreds of people came to pay homage and sit with these bright and beautiful precious ones -- embodiments of loving kindness.  May we continue loving kindness now and throughout all the ages.
