American Zen priest promotes Jizo project for Hiroshima, Nagasak
KYOTO, Japan - Jan Chozen Bays (R), an American Zen master, speaks with reporters at a Kyoto hotel on Aug. 4. She called for people to join a project to make some 270,000 statues and written images of Jizo Bodhisattva to represent the victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and promote world peace. Bays said she came up with the idea when she visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki two years ago. Jizo Bodhisattva is the guardian of deceased children, expectant mothers, firemen, travelers, and pilgrims.
