We went to the Avatamsaka Monastery downtown.
In a previous life the building was the Mountain Equipment Co-op Store and it has been transformed by adding several floors and a traditional roof.
A Mahayana Buddhist Monastery at 1009 4 Avenue SW. Beside the monastery is a park with teepees. I was hoping to hear the gong but no Future Buddhas The grand hall. There is a meditation hall on a different floor open to all. We had a tasty vegan snack and chamomile-marigold tea grown in their organic garden in Golden British Columbia on another floor. They had a vegan restaurant but it closed but they do have lunch for all after their Sunday morning service.

For the Sake of Others

Enlightenment is a goal that one should pursue not for self but for the sake of the world and others.

Interesting book. Scientia Lemmatica, a new discipline developed by Shin’ichi Nakazawa, explores human reason by combining the Logos-based intellect that emerged in Europe with the lemmatic intellect rooted in the logic of dependent origination in the Avatamsaka Sutra.

Avatamsaka Sutra No. 78 https://clevelandart.org/art/1994.25
This illuminated manuscript presents one part of a multivolume sacred Buddhist text. In medieval Korea, Buddhism was the most popular religion among common people and the upper classes alike. This elegant folding book was produced at the request of a high-ranking official as a way of proving religious faith. It is written in gold (the frontispiece and borders) and silver (the calligraphy) ink on specially colored paper. The golden brushwork of the frontispiece depicts a temple courtyard filled with buildings, a garden, and a fence in front of which stands a group of stately figures. The tallest figure, Buddha of the Future (Maitreya), addresses the young kneeling pilgrim who asks questions about the path towards spiritual awakening. This story is written in the columns of bold, silver text following the illustration. Each column contains 17 characters, each carefully brushed onto the paper so as to visually relate to the characters above and below. This is the work by rigorously trained Buddhist monks in whose temples some of the world's greatest libraries existed in the 1200s and 1300s. So prized were their talents that these scribes traveled to China to demonstrate their skills. The Japanese avidly collected the texts too, so much so that most Korean sutras reside in that country today. This example is one of only five or six to be found in Western collections.

Avatamsaka Sutra: A Interpenetração Cósmica e o Caminho do Bodhisattva no Budismo Mahayana
O Avatamsaka Sutra, cujo nome completo em sânscrito é Buddhāvataṃsaka-nāma-mahāvaipulya-sūtra, traduzido frequentemente como Sutra da Guirlanda de Flores ou Sutra do Ornamento de Flores, é uma das escrituras mais influentes e extensas do budismo Mahayana. O termo sânscrito avatamsaka pode ser interpretado de várias maneiras, significando uma guirlanda, coroa ou ornamento circular, simbolizando a magnificência das virtudes acumuladas pelo Buda no momento da sua iluminação.
