This course offers a hands-on exploration of the juzu, a significant symbol of Buddhist teachings. Each bead on the juzu represents human imperfections, which can be transformed through mindful practice. Participants will learn how to respectfully wear and use the juzu, create their own juzu, and understand its spiritual importance. The session includes a brief introduction, a practical juzu-making activity, and a blessing ceremony for the completed juzu. Join us to create a meaningful and cherished spiritual tool.
