Jizo Remembrance Ceremony
What: A Ceremony of Remembrance for Children Who Have Died
When: Saturday, August 30, 2:00 pm
Where: At Great Vow Zen Monastery, Clatskanie, Oregon
This event is open and free to anyone who has lost an infant or child of any age.
The loss of an infant or child often opens a well of profound grief. No matter how the child dies, suddenly or slowly, whether through illness, sudden infant death, accident, miscarriage, abortion or suicide, our sorrow is deep and may be long-lasting.
The purpose of the ceremony is to help families and friends with their grief by honoring their lost children and to allowing them to leave a remembrance in our Jizo Bodhisattva garden. In traditional Buddhist belief, a bodhisattva is an enlightened being who has forsaken entry into nirvana until all beings are saved. Jizo Bodhisattva is regarded as a caretaker of women, travelers, and children who have died. The ceremony is very simple, and done in silence. While it is a Buddhist ceremony, it is open to anyone of any religious affiliation.
We will spend time making a personal memorial for our child, by writing a message, making a simple toy or necklace, or sewing a small garment. There will be materials available, but you may wish to bring scissors, thread and needle and a small piece of red cloth. Many people also bring a picture of the child or other personal token of remembrance.

Great Vow Zen Monastery is located in tranquil, rolling meadows near Portland, Oregon. The monastery is situated in a peaceful setting on 25 acres of meadow and forest overlooking the Columbia River, a conducive environment for restful reflection and learning. Guests are welcome to stroll along wooded walking trails, pause in the lovely remembrance garden and enjoy the orchard and large organic gardens which feed body and soul. We will have the entire grounds to ourselves during this training. The meeting rooms, dining hall and sleeping quarters are accessible by all abilities.
We have purposely chosen this location in an effort to lower costs and enable more people to attend.
Please note: In order to keep costs to a minimum, participants (health permitting) will be asked to assist with a half hour of wash-up after meals and to make and strip their beds.
The kitchen staff prepares delicious, healthy and well-balanced meals, including local seasonal fruits and vegetables, many of which come from the monastery’s organic gardens. Meals are ovo-lacto-vegetarian. Coffee, hot tea and snacks are available throughout the rental period free of charge. If you have specific food allergies please indicate that when you register.
Accommodations are modest, clean and comfort dormitory style sleeping quarters with visual privacy, furnished with a single bed. All linens, blanket and towels are provided. Shared gender-designated bathrooms and showers are steps away. Because many people are sensitive to scents, please do not wear perfume, cologne, scented soaps, hair products or creams during our week together.
