In these difficult times when we are not able to be together in person as a sangha, Taihaku and Kenzan created small protection amulets to send to sangha members as a reminder of our connection one with another and a symbol of our care.
The below series of photos shows the amulets' creation. The artwork of Shao Shan Temple was done by Taihaku. The amulets were first designed, printed and cut to size. Each one then had the "protection" Japanese kanji character individually handwritten on it. They were laminated, cut again, then a hole punched and the gold cord tied on.

and did not receive an amulet and would like one, please let us know.
